Gakkou. Taihen desu ne

After spending nearly three weeks in Warabi I´m starting to settle in. Luckily we don´t start school untill 1pm, sovmorgon hela dan, varje dag. Going to school, which is in Shin-Okubo, takes about 1 hour with train. The teachers speaks only japanese and it´s quite hard trying to understand or even just hear what they are saying when they spitting out 10 words every second. Taihen desu ne (It´s tough). Our class consits of mostly koreans, who seems to speak japanese fluently, and a few swedes who has to entertain the koreans with badly spoken japanese. After four hours in school you are quite confused so after going home we mostly spend the evenings drinking beer instead of studing. Japanese beer is by the way really good.

The weather here isn´t the best. Rains alot and it´s very humid. 20 degrees here feels more like 30 but there isn´t one room in whole Tokyo which doesn´t have an AC, niice.
It feels like my stomach is starting to get used to the japanese food. Of course are all menus in japanese and the people there doesn´t speak any english so ordering can be quite a challange. Been served deepfried herring, liver and heart of pig and alot that i don´t know what it was and probably don´t wanna know either.

Most of the time is spent being in school, drinking beer or eating at japanese restaurants together with the other people from my hostel in Warabi. We have also tried a japanese style spa (onsen), got lost in Shibuya, karoke where you can drink as much as you want for 60 SEK/hour, cheked coz-play in Harjuku and much more. So desu.

Pictures are on it´s way. Hopefully in a few days. I´m not in photo-mood, maybee it feels to japanese.
