Sayaka's Study Abroad Strategies for Success

This post will focus on strategies and know-hows I've learned thus far:

1. Get use to being stared at.  The second Japanese people see you, they know you are a foreigner.  Just accept the staring and continue on with your usual business.
2. Look right-left-right rather than left-right-left since cars are driven on the opposite side of the road from the U.S.
3. Make sure you always double check the train schedule so you know which stations to get off at and which ones you need to transfer at (a couple of my friends and I have missed a stop or two during our ventures in to Tokyo...)

Hajimarimashita!

Entire row to me for the long flight!

So my first official week in Japan has finally come to a close.  I arrived at 8:45pm on Sept 13th (Japan time, so 6:45am on Sept 13th Wisconsin time).  A lot has happened in just a week which makes me feel like I have actually been here for a couple months now.  Even my room looks like I've been here for a month (that means it needs a little TLC...!)
