My first days 6.1.
departure. Allen waved and hugged several times. Then gelatscht by beep control. Shortly before departure desperately searched my black hat ... them in Frankfurt in a backpack recovered. Feelings of happiness.
was on the plane from Berlin to Frankfurt's super full. Can one or the other still remember the Titanic movie? Since there were several classes of ship, right? Just as the class in which the Irishman and Leonardo di Caprio had lived, so my compartment was on the plane. It was not even enough space to accommodate my existing hand luggage of 3 parts. I grabbed it on my lap. Behind me, several families with little cry-brats. Beautiful, a flight is not. Beside me sat a woman, around 50 and a man (about 40). Both have only met on the plane and out excited, yes, almost philosophical discussions ... So something like: "There is no chance ... everything is fate and predetermined" (the man takes the hand of the woman, the woman is visibly impressed). "Oh, so I have not yet seen ... yes, you are right!" breathed the woman. Then the man gets out of a backpack a book. Sorry, I forgot the title, but it was something like: "If strike spirit and soul - A guide to recovery." Um.
had to hold strong to loszuprusten not loud. People are already curious creatures. landed
Bin planned in Frankfurt. I easily found the gate before I wanted to meet with Sarah. Had some time to the meeting and I walked around and finally landed at McDoof. Thought, who knows what I get on the plane. Since MC is (read: em-ze) Donald's even better ... bad idea. Wow. That was probably by far the worst a € hamburger I have ever eaten! Rest done in trash. Back to the gate getapst and waited for Sarah.
Sarah was some delay in a steep rushes have been with the message that they do not even get ne seat number. If then to the counter and ... hurray! We have seats next to each other \\ (> o \u0026lt;) /
get explanation: Sarah is a Fellow student of mine, who has booked the same flight to Nagoya, but only checked in at Frankfurt. They then flew on to Okinawa.
then I sat on the plane next to a cute Japanese girl. Sarah sat opposite me, also on the floor. The aircraft equipment itself was quite thin and poor ... a long haul flight with only a general TV? Hello! And since even creepy films were shown, such as "Journey to the Center of the Earth" looks (with Brendan Fraser ...) and even so'n film with NEM dentist, spirits ... weird. I'm rather turned to the food, while also contacted with my seatmate. I will grade the "Sushi" record (zusammengepappter rice clumps with fish-like thing on top) with the chopsticks, and she asked me if I like Sushi (in English). I answer in Japanese. You: oooooooooooooooooooo. * Huge * staun It turned out that they also studied at Nanzan University (English) and now for a year in Ireland (working holiday). Very nice. Mail addresses have changed. Will they meet in the near future in Nagoya: D
7.1.
After a seemingly endless flight with lots of snot and coughing and sore throat I landed in Nagoya ... plus painful pressure on left ear. Was deaf for half a day on this ear. Yippie.
Sarah and I grabbed our bags (again, strangely, Sarah had to check out then check again oo) and the men at the immigration counter was obviously confused about their working holiday visa ... so what you have is not every day in Nagoya.
When going out I saw two signs with Nanzan Daigaku ... but this one was in Kanji and an elder man held up with gloves and the other by a young Japanese woman ... I am the Japanese woman (Haruka) and she was waiting actually for me . Kindly given to me then neck candy. Afterwards I felt better. Have passed me by Sarah and I gelatscht with Haruka to the other exchange students already waiting. There were, on the one Rebecca (short: Bec) from Australia, Brian of Pennsylvania and another girl from Malaysia.
We had, fortunately, a private bus. So had we take the luggage train. And then waiting and we waited and waited for the bus. Hmmmmmmmmm. Haruka went to ask ... What was that the grandpa with the kanji Nanzan sign was the bus driver XD He has been waiting the whole time at the airport and was right next to us ... Haruka ...
Malaisian-Girl delivered in 'NEM another student's home and the rest of the Nanzan Nagoya Koryu Kaikan. Once there we said goodbye to Haruka and were with the janitor (70 years old, no English skills) alone. The first thing she told us how to door to us mailbox opens. Since there are different code systems. And again you have to remember numbers. Disgusting.
boys and girls are separate compartments. First, Bec and showed me the room. Brian was waiting below with the heavy baggage. In the corridor waiting for (the first was Bec off with her room), I made acquaintance with Hui, a nice Thai woman. She was visiting as new with my roommate. Becs apartment after the caretaker came to me and showed me the new apartment.
It welcomed me Hui, Tibby (my roommate) and their mother, who in the evening but departed. My room at the end of the hall was cold and looked uncomfortable at first glance you by parsimony.
I went back down to pick up the luggage. Unfortunately, there is no lift. And I live in the 4th Floor. Tibby had kindly helped me when towing.
After seemingly endless stairs again arrived in the room. I then related my bed and me a little something up. Even less uncomfortable the whole. And then put the air conditioner to 30 ° C. Mmmhhhh. Hot x)
The view from the window is not to despise. We see almost Nagoya * o * There are no tall buildings. Quite clear the city. First wanted to bed me. Would have been the most sense ... but then I remembered: I have not got anything to eat! And what about the Internet? Here is nothing at all? ; _; Could of Tibby's laptop ne message home. Tibby has offered for me in the CJS office to ask. (Center for Japanese Studies). And Hui told me ways to Convenince Store and Shopping Mall. At the bottom in the foyer, I met Bec and two guy named Brian and Braam. Yes, another Brian. Then came new to Brian and I am mitgelatscht with them. Have a small guide to get to the shops. Bec and I searched for a large towel. But nil. Not even the Super-Duper-100 yen shop (u__u)
We made a brief stop in nem curry Retarant. Yummy. In Japan, the Court of curry rice is very popular. Will also try it by myself to cook. Will then upload pictures of it.
again in the evening Kaikan (home) arrived. Tibby told me that I could now have internet. Me: Wiieee? Joy! I then again losgestapft the CJS office. And indeed. Was presented with a package with a modem. ; _; Happiness! 'm Quickly ran home (5 min for round-trip because Kaikan is located just off University). Money ran out. (Viieeel money hand over). On the way I met Tibby, who has pressed a note into my hand, what should I make in the office. But because of all the happiness I have forgotten, of course ... and the office closed soon. So hingerannt again. The ladies and gentlemen at the entrance gate had already given some thought to why since beklopppte West activist out 5 times and ran with her a mysterious package under his arm. "Certainly an assassin or something. She wants to blow up our beautiful university in the air ... or worse ... infected with Western ideas. We must prevent it. But not until tomorrow. Today is still the same closing time. "
Have paper and made me wonder why one of the office ladies turns away giggling ... (oo) determined, because I have made such a hurried impression. No ... because I had a nosebleed! X__x I did, however, found only in the transition. Oh man. What a first day ... nose bleeding stopped and the last time that day made me at the Kaikan. Once there, while Tibby was not there but it Nanaho, my new Japanese roommate. They had the first wondered who I am then. Had to explain to Japanese. Welcomed me and then turned to the Japanese television. From her behavior she is not really super-classified Japanese. It works sometimes very casual and open. But I like :) Since access is easier to find ^ ^
First, the Internet had a natural way can be set.. After several fumbling and mumbling (Nanaho has done for me kindly) everything fit and I had internet. Three cheers for technology. Hip Hip Hurray.
then made to's box. Oh no .. prefer to first tap into the net and emails. More fun. Then again, glanced at the created chaos now ... Hmmm.
Oh, Jana is online! : D * I * chat me an appointment with her to make phone calls. Yes, I have in my room has a telephone. Can only be called.
yourself by Jana via chat and adopt a clean re-start attempt. Then came home and Diana, my 3rd Roommate. She had made a trip to Korea. She is from New York but Chinese parents. So what is therefore Asian. Has a good sense of humor. I think I will understand me well with my roommates. ^ ^
Did I then showered and on the phone with Jana. And then finally cleaned up. Sun is now welcoming it. I just tucked back in the Läppie. Then came briefly Jazmin in my room. Also residing in New York and the Kaikan. Very funny girl.
And then offered Nanaho, tomorrow I get a few things to go. Me: "Yesssss! I want to buy a ookina taueru (large towel) "You:" Come on in "
And then I have put to sleep at last. Phew.
