Yookiso
Monday, September 22nd, 2008 | Culture | No Comments
So classes started today. Everything went well. Tomorrow is the Autumnal Equinox, so there aren’t classes (Japan is awesome for having that as a holiday). Anyway, nothing really out of the ordinary happened today… we’re going to Softbank tomorrow to try to get phones, so I’ll update everyone on how that’s going tomorrow evening. As of now, it looks pretty messed up. All the cell phone companies started charging high cancellation fees, so I guess we’ll have to wait and see what happens.
Anyway, going back to yesterday! To start off the day, we met the people from CUPS (Chubu University Peer Support), a group of Japanese students who help us crazy gaijin out with daily life on and around campus. They met us outside the dorm at 9:00am, and after that we walked to the school bus stop, paid our 200￥, and rode to the train station. From there, we got on the train at Jinryou Station and rode to Chikusa. This cost another 230￥. We then switched over to the subway from Chikusa to Kakuouzan, which cost ANOTHER 200￥. From the Kakuouzan subway station, we walked maybe ten minutes to get to the Yookiso Villa, where this multi-cultural event was happening.
