This was my first weekend where I mostly stayed in and it's still certainly over too soon. I joined Rachel and Isabel for dinner at a izakaya (居酒屋）at Shinjuku though. An izakaya is basically a kind of drinking and gathering place, where they also serve many side dishes to accompany the drinks. We simply had the food though - corn and bacon dish, cheese tofu, lobster (which turned out to be prawns) and potato gratin, crab pizza and octopus. The food was not too shabby and it came up to about 1000yen per person. The izakaya had a really pretty name though! Hana no mai (花の舞) - the dance of flowers - and it totally reminded me of Kuchiki Rukia's zanpakutou name (Bleach anime).
The days are getting filled with readings, homework (weekly assignments for some of the classes) and sometimes Japanese dramas. Seems like the workload here is slightly heavier than back home, but then again I'm taking 6 classes, of which one -Japanese - is taking up a whopping 9 hours a week. So nothing to be surprised about I guess. So many people go on exchange and talk about how deliriously fun it was (usually clubbing and travelling) and how slack it was (taking the minimum load of 3 modules) but I'm here studying hard =)) or trying to HAHA. Quite abit of difference there eh? =P
So, back to the work. Blah.
