My first week
It’s the end of my first week here in Tokyo. My jet-lag is slowly disappearing and I enjoy getting to know my neighborhood, Tokyo and the Japanese culture in general.
I have been busy with a few things lately:
¤ trying to make a phone call from a parking meter (well, I’m not so hi-tech and all information was in Japanese).
¤ learn how to move fast in a large group of people with an umbrella without hurting wether myself or someone else (it takes a lot of practice, but after three days of constant rain I’m pretty good at it).
¤ practicing my Japanese at the local Post office in Shin-koiwa (the result: 10 stamps for Sweden!).
The rain has finally stopped and I enjoy walking in the sun. Hopefully it will help me get rid of my cold.
