Seh 10.000 Farben, bin so schön verstrahlt

So, tomorrow I will have been here a week and I have only just found time to write another blog entry! I am way to lazy/busy for this blog stuff.

But, here it comes: a summary of what I have been up to (lots and lots).
In a way I feel like I have been here a long time and yet I sometimes still have little moments of realisation that I am living on the other side of the world!!

We started our orientation on the 10th, so I thought I would upload some pictures of the campus. Its SO beautiful I still can't believe it's in the middle of the city!

It has a perfect English lawn (we saw it  actually get trimmed with scissors)

the front gate

I can't get over how pretty its is (this photo doesn't even do it justice)

the outside cafeteria bit (awesome food)

(Let's just skip the whole placement test thing, this blog is for non-depressing topics only!) Here a group picture with me trying out the whole "paint me like one of your french girls' thing - didn't work, I need some more practise. I look like I'm having a nap instead.

Soooo, where was I? Basically we have been drinking a lot of beer, having some really noisy but equally fun room parties and the group just keeps growing and growing, it's seriously fun and I wish we could have free time here forever. It's my birthday next week on Sunday so I intend to go check out the club scene in Tokyo!!! the word excited doesn't even cut it! I literally can't wait!

Also, today we decided to go do something fun after the interview so we headed to Shibuya. I hadn't been anywhere except Ikebukuro, so this was really exciting. my first thoughts? BUSY! IT WAS SO BUSY! I know everyone always says this but the amount of people crossing the street was unbelievable (oh yeah and you better believe the thing about the trains, they get pretty full).

First view of Shibuya

SHOPPING HEAVEN

this huuuuge department store; all the clothes here are
 made for babies (needless to say we came out feeling like a size 150)

Afterwards, we walked to Harajuku, the more fashionable and young part of Tokyo where we wanted to go to the upstairs rooftop cafe in the Tokyo Plaza but we were so hungry we got sidetracked into a Tonkatsu restaurant and then went back home cause we were so sleep... oh well, we have a year to go find the rooftop cafe).

Tonkatsu (like Schnitzel but BETTER)

Harajuku at night

so many crazy shops!

Hmmm what else is there to tell? TOO MUCH! we have been doing so many fun things that I think my brain would explode if I tried to tell you about them on this blog (plus, I don't think the word count would be enough!) But we plan to go to Karaoke on Saturday, so I will report back on that because I am quite intrigues - and also hoping they have it in combination with a beer flat rate ;-) I am also going to return home weighing a ton with all this beer I am drinking, it has replaced everything in my diet (but don't worry, I googled it: beer has vitamins, so all is well ;-) )

Ah and a little extra for all my German fans (a.k.a friends):

Hier ein kleiner, (sehr) böser Witz -> In letzter Zeit höre ich ganz gerne Musik von Marteria, aber es hat ganze 2 Tage gedauert bis ich gemerkt hab, dass mein Lieblingslied "Verstrahlt" ist. Zufall? :D hahaha 

Aber es kommt mir tatsächlich dauerhaft so vor als wäre ich verstrahlt von den vielen Menschen, Farben etc hier in Japan, ist also gar nicht so falsch ;-)
