Hi!
As I said in the blog introduction, this is my first ever blog, and it will be about me and my experiences with and in Japan.
I'm currently studying East Asian studies, with Japanese as my major.
I've been to Japan once before, and this fall I will go there again as an exchange student *___*
I'm very excited! (I -must- pass my exams now! Ahaha)
I decided to start writing now, because there are lots of preparations to do before I go there (I hope to go in August), so for others who might want to go there too, it might be helpful information ^^;
The paperwork has already started, so inbetween tests and essays and part-time job, for now, I have made sure that my passport is ready and I have to fill out a form to apply to schools >____<;
I haven't yet managed to decide completely, but I think I will apply to a university in Chiba prefecture, called Josai international university.
The other option is in Hokkaido, which.... will be cold and similar to Norway in the winter D:
I really don't like cold weather, so I'd rather go to somewhere near Tokyo >____<;;;
(I originally wanted to go to Kansai, but because there are so few students this year, they removed that school from the list *cry*)
So, for now, I have these pro's and con's to go by;
Chiba-->
Small town, might be boring and not so pretty
Lots of foreigners, harder to get to know Japanese people
Many of my friends closeby
Cheaper school fee
Closer to all the places I wanna go to
Warmer
Closer to airport=cheaper travel
Nicer apartment
Hokkaido-->
Less foreigners, easier to get to know Japanese people
Not so many of my friends there
Better school
More expensive
Further to travel
Far away
Cold
Snow
Good food
Dormitory (smaller and share kitchen+curfew)
Nice scenery
どしょう~
What do you think? >____<;;
If anyone have suggestions to what they want to hear about, please comment and tell me <3
Take care ^__^
