We've concluded that they obviously don't have speed cameras over here, the taxi ride from the airport was like being in a car game... he didn't hesitate to fly through traffic at well over 120km/h. We didn't mind though, it was nice to do the 80km from Narita to our new residence in under 45min!
The apartments are modern and well located. We are located on Odaiba island in Tokyo Bay, about a 20 minute monorail ride from central Tokyo. It's strangely quiet on the island as they are still largely developing it and we are basically the only residents on the island (apart from the many hotels, shopping centres and office blocks also located here). It's arguably the best location in Tokyo - lots of parks, museums and shopping centres to keep us students entertained.
We started uni on Wednesday in a very spacious campus in Roppongi (the King's Cross of Tokyo), which makes for interesting strolls both day and night. Our class consists of students from Uzbekistan, India, Myanmar, Kazakhstan, China, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Romania, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and not to mention Australia. This will make for some very diverse and interesting debates, I'm sure!
We've already been checking out the many restaurants, bars and shops in Tokyo, but doubt we'll be able to get through them all during the year. Apparently there are over 80,000 restuarants in Tokyo and we'll try our best to get through many of them!
Don't forget to keep in touch and until the next post - genki de ne! (keep smiling!)
