We made it through the first day of orientation. Jet lag was still hitting pretty strong. We sat through some talks and introductions of the various partners in the program, then we took a group photo. Here is us walking down to take our pictures:
This is the amazing view from the center and photo-taking area. Apparently Mount Fuji is in the background somewhere, but it was so cloudy that we couldn't see it.
So our rooms are located above the orientation center rooms. The building curves around, and my room is all the way at the end of the curve. The last room. But it's spacious. We have roommates. So far it seems to be going okay. But yeah, here is the view from my room! And I liked the greenery under the window, so there's a picture of that too.
I also took a picture of breakfast this morning. It's not too fancy. I think the main reason why I took a picture is because I wanted to show how small the glasses are here. They are super super tiny. Like kid cups. I'm not sure you can tell here because there isn't really anything around to judge the scale. But I love that portion sizes are so small here. The bread is wonderful and light. The rice is perfect and sticky. The eggs are so so good. I love the food here.
Today we are going to be doing language classes and then some "lectures" though I think some of those are performances by people. I really hope so. That part is planned to be 6 hours long with only a twenty minute break in between ouch.
I'm going to post my schedule for the next couple days so you can imagine what I'm doing if you want to know. Also times when I might be free to chat if you're around!
Hugs and love,
Alyssa
