Today wasn't anything really special. First I had to go to catch a crowded train, and drag my arms all the way to class. During my Economics class however, once the teacher turned his back to face the white board, I quitely ran out of the classroom. After class I had my fun conversation
class where today I was able walk around town with a partner (Shimoo-san) and talk/learn. I still feel awkward speaking a language I'm not used to, but according to him I can understand quite a bit because I was able to understand most of what he was saying. I'm sure he was being nice on top of the fact that he spoke slow enough for me to listen, but I'd like to think I'm slowly improving. :D
After class a bunch of the Japanese students and the JLSP students decided to walk around and eat dinner. We stopped at a shrine called Kagurazaka which was a bit interesting, and then kept walking around until we found something else. We came across a little shop that sold little pancake like things filled with custard, chocolate, etc. I bought two - one with cheese and one with macha tea & bean paste. Those, were, delicious.
We continued walking and found the restaraunt called 'Shirokiya' where I ate a Bibinbadon. It's kind of like a Korean beef thing with a bunch of kimchee-like stuff in it. It was pretty good, having been the first time, but I thought it was rather small for 800yen. We sat around for a couple hours and just tried to converse with one another. Afterward, everyone had to travel their separate ways and the rest of us went home. Although it was a rather slow day, hopefully we'll be doing more this week and travelling unknown areas.More Pictures:
