Hey peepz! Posting more pictures before too much accumulate and I cant put them all up at once! Here are some pictures of the sights in the part of Japan in my life.
Shops line the tunnels and train stations.
Lockers seem to be an integral part of Japanese train stations. And alot of people seem to put things in them. I still cant quite figure what is it that people put in...
A spot for commuters like me to stop and rest amidst the looooong walks between stations and the navigation in the random craziness, or crazy randomness of Tokyo crowds. Or maybe its for the people waiting to board the shinkansen.
Long, long, long corridors
Japanese smokers are very law abiding, in spoking only at designated yellow boxes. Well, most anyway. This is one on the platform of Shin Urayasu train station.
A alley just along side Waseda Uni, lined with, you guessed it, shops.
All things miniature seem to be of fascination to Japanese. This is a miniature toy cars factory and shop.

One lady operates a machine in a glass box to make the miniature toy cars.
Shin Urayasu Festival! Crowds, performances and lots of food.
Flowers are big in Japan. There seems to be a florist on every street or in every shopping department.
Japanese chocolates!
Paul Snowden, the Dean of SILS, giving the opening address at the Okuma Auditorium. The Okuma Auditorium is the ceremonial auditorium, of which has historical significance.
Dr Howard gives another speech with a beautiful ball in a beautiful box. Like her enthusaism, if all goes well, I should be taking here Introduction to Intercultural Communications class.

Kinda miss being the choir. Somewhat.
Like the part where I look like this.
The symphony orchestra, or WaseOrchi, was very good.

Our little expedition to get a softbank phone!
Irene Ooi pays the USP-SILs people a visit! I decided to tag along to say hi! We ate at a rice curry restaurant, where we get to customize the amount of rice and the level of spiciness we desire. How interesting! This shop also has a unique eating challenge. If one person can eat 1.3kg worth of curry rice in 20 minutes, that person gets to eat it for free!

Aik Heng and I have a bet. If he does not get all As for this semester, I will have to treat him to that 1.3kg worth of curry rice. Hahaha!
