Well, so much for updating my blog! LoL! So here goes...

After flying 10 hrs of Jetstar with NO FOOD, i sure was HUNGRY! Thankfully, we had a free shuttle to the hotel that i booked, and it took us only 15 minutes from airport to hotel! I figured i'd grab a bite at a conveniece store when i get there.

Ok. So, the night before i left, I printed out my hotel confirmation, only to find that i had booked to check in on the 31st, checking out the next day on the 1st September. GREAT. I had just realised I had booked 1 day after I arrive at the airport! Yay!! smart ash! = =" (I didn't dare mention this to my parents OR to alessio that night, or else they would just yell at me for being stupid again. hahahaha)

Thankfully, when i arrived at the hotel, i had explained to them of my 'situation', and they let me have a room without any extra charges...hahaha.

Having arrived back at the airport, we were picked up by the University people, and it took us 1.5hrs from the airport to the university.

When we got there, we were greated by Japanese people, (there are good looking guys/girls at my uni!! XDDD) and was shown to my room. I get a single room!! yay! but during the orientation week, I will have to share with 2 other students. We have barely any room to move, since i'm sleeping on a TATAMI floor, and the 3 matts are like... just linear to one another!

I also went to a local supermarket and bought my supplies there, but MAN, it's like... 30 degrees here, and we walked SO FAR! My legs are gonna get so strong! But i had a horrible headache yesterday, and was in so much pain....:(

I'll post photos later!! =)

love,

I begin my blog, with a 30-day count down. Only 30 days left before I leave Sydney. 30 days until I arrive in Japan, Osaka. 30 days till I start my new life.

What kind of expectations do I have? I truly do not know. I guess I won't be so much of a FOB there, since i'm asian anyway...haha.

I guess I'm not all that prepared. I mean, I just applied for my visa 30 days before I'm actually leaving, and it's not ready till 1 week later, the fact I haven't started thinking about packing, and I haven't met up with everyone yet! I'm too attached to this place. It'll be a hard one leaving.

On the happier note, I'll be heading off to Melbourne tmr for the first time in my life! I've never been there before, and I'll be skiing/snow boarding at Mt Buller, another 3 hr drive from Melbourne. That should be fun. Heaps of photos I promise! ;)

Anyway, I'll leave this post with a few photos highlighting my holiday so far.
