I've Arrived!

Overlooking Otaru Atop Mount Tenguyama



After months of anticipation and 28 hours of travel, I've landed in Otaru, Japan. I've spent the first days exploring the city by foot, gathering some necessities, and becoming acquainted with fellow international students at the international house which we are residing for the next year. Today my tutor, Yuichi, escorted me on errands to city hall for alien registration (we laughed at the use of alien), to open a bank account, and to activate a mobile phone. Yuichi speaks good English and spent a year abroad himself in Atlanta, GA. His assistance is priceless!








My room



My room is cozy but has many amenities --private bath, oven, stovetop, desk, wardrobe, balcony, and most importantly -a bed.
