The plane flight went fine, though I must say

~Carry your Passport/Alien Registration card at all times or you will get arrested and detained for 23 days because Japanese police are numerous and extremely bored (and Temple will not help you)
~Do not touch anyone else's bike or you will get arrested and detained for 23 days because the Japanese police are numerous and extremely bored (and Temple will not help you).
~Do nothing but study or you will fail.
~Do nothing but study and you will still fail your Japanese language class.
~Do not carry anything that could possibly be construed as a drug or you will be arrested and detained for 23 days because the Japanese Police are numerous, extremely bored, and paranoid with regards to anything drug related (and Temple will not help you).
~Do not go into Roppongi or you will get drugged and robbed.

Overall it was a very depressing day. It then got better, when

It then got worse again when my prepaid phone managed to eat 2700 yen. -.-
The next day was a frantic rush to a softbank store to plead with them to fix that (they couldn't, I bought a new card and am now watching my account's yen like a hawk) and then a frantic rush back to make the group trip to the Shinjuku ward office to apply for our Alien Registration Cards. Which took all afternoon, yaaay bureaucracy. But we got to socialize with some of the rest of the people in our housing, which was fun :D I also managed to finally finish unpacking and get everything put away, which was a great relief ^ ^. I hate being in transit.

Short version: The Japanese police are numerous and extremely bored so be careful about EVERYTHING, I have a phone named Shiro-chan who has some issues but is loved nonetheless, stay away from Roppongi unless you want to get drugged/robbed/die and I became thoroughly addicted to milk tea in under two days and am going to miss it immensely when I am again stateside.
And I haven't even started classes yet.
Current Mood:
