Readapting

I suppose some people are waiting for my first post after returning to Japan. The fact that I still don't have easy internet access complicates things. I'm writing from my cell phone, and I hope it works right.

The trip was smoother than I thouht. Althouh some strikes in Brazil were delaying and cancelling many flights, mine fortunately almost weren't affected. And meeting other Brazilian exchange students, as well as having nice people to chat (an American lady who sat next to me for example), relieved a little the exaustive flights (30 hours +).

At Narita Airport I finally realized the extension of the Monbukagakusho scholarship. Many People from many different countries being send to many parts of Japan. Haven't met so many, but the list of the students was big...

The first night I spent in a hotel (paid by our sponsors) with other students. Time enough to get me confused, since I was not used anymore to so many language shifts. But it's ok now.

Second day, I went to my dorm. Way better than where I lived in Himeji, but again, Kyoto University recieves lots of foreign students every year, so they're prepared. Can't blame anyone. The only problem is that the dorm is far from almost any place most people know in Kyoto. Yep, I'm living at the "countryside" again.

Can't make this post too long. And writing in the mobile phone is tiring. I'll write about other Brazilian students living in Kyoto, hanami and other things that happened during the week later.
