It was really nice that we had an entire week for us to relax and get adjusted to a new country.
I'm urgently trying to remember all the names of my laboratory group. There's too many people!
On another note, I managed to semi-destroy my laundry last week. Powdered detergent and liquid softener!!! The horror!!! But second time's the charm! I got it to work! And since the dryers in Japan suck, I've been air drying my clothes in the sun. It works pretty well!
Over the weekend, I also visited a hospital for my ankle. I fell off a bike. Yup.
I also explored the city yesterday. There are so many bus routes and everything. I hope I never get lost.
A woman went out of her way to explain how the Tobu Line works, even though she could literally only speak fast Japanese and my Japanese comprehension sucks. In the end, I actually understood what she was trying to say! Yay!
I'm so glad I have a semi-working GPS here. I also sang in a chorus with a couple elderly! They were really nice! But when it came to the lyrics of fast-paced songs, I couldn't read the hiragana and katakana fast enough >.<
Kiryu-shi has really nice people! It's also kind of bad for like have a shopping spree since the stores are so far apart from each other. Honcho street is the main street with most of the stores, but the issue is it takes over an hour to walk to entirety of it one-way and it is HOT here! It's been averaging 90 degrees for the past couple of days.
Also, the reason why I haven't been updating often. I only get internet access at the University and only certain parts of the University will get Wi-Fi. My laboratory floor on the seventh floor has no Wi-Fi at all. :(
