Week 2

So after a week of setting up and getting acclimated to my new environment, I feel as though I have not left home. Although I can only speak a couple of words, Tokyo is far too kind. Everyone I have encountered understands what I am saying even if they cannot speak English. However, within the past week I have been mistaken for a Japanese person. Which I guess is good? At the same time not okay because people think I'm stupid because I cannot speak the language. Either way, すみません (sumimasen).

This weeks goals are as following:
  1. Join a hip-hop class. (just for you Zooey)
  2. Explore another part of Tokyo.
  3. Find a rugby kit (cleats) for upcoming Sunday's "friendly" match. (email had friendly in quotes... should I be nervous?)
  4. Makes some friends that are hopefully Japanese.
