Day 2 Yamasa Japan 2014

Ohaiyo gozaimasu ! Wuu..... its pretty cold & wet this morning . Typhoon 18 is passing
by Yokohama, where my Aunt lives.

Today, i'll be heading for Yamasa Institute! They are informed of my arrival time but we
hope that the Typhoon wun delay the trains, which is possible according to my Uncle.
I've decided to take my chance & face probable waiting for hours. 
I gotto try to get to Yamasa in time for the placement test tomorrow.

 

Sleeping over at my Aunt's spare room.

.

Its raining heavily, my uncle called a taxi to take us to Shin-Yokohama station

.

Raining like cats & dogs outside. Plus strong winds.

.

Arriving at Shin-Yokohama station. Trains are delayed.
Waited 3 hrs before train resume service.

.

Alrighty ! Train is coming soon ! Taking Kodama shinkansen.Shin-Yokohama >> Toyohashi >> Okazaki

.

Oopss ... no seat oredi ! -_-
Craps... dun tell me i gotto stand for the whole trip ! sianz..

. 

Observing the area in between cars.
these are nice rest rooms in case one needs to bomb. LoL

.

This happy lark got a seat finally !
Most of the time, these free seating cabins are usually not
totally filled up. But, cos of Typhoon no:18, it caused a short burst
of travellers in all stations.

.

Me ticket. Just for memories.

.

On ride from Toyohashi >> Okazaki . Yea !
We'll be there soon enough !

. 

Landscape from regular train.
I wonder why the cabin is so empty. Where's the people neh !?

.

Okazaki City ! taken from train station.
Hmmm..... pretty flat i must say. 

.

a Quick call to Yamasa customer service dept brings Greg along.
Was expecting a Japanese, got a New Zealander instead. LoL 

Institue is really near to station. like 5 min van ride only. After some form filling, we're
off to the accommodation immediately. its about 5pm now. Greg will be off work soon.

.

Here we are ! a typical japanese apartment just like the ones i
saw in the internet. * Happy!*

.

Yamasa Villa 1

.

Stairways to 2nd level after entry.
this layout considered spacious. Most apartments have their
stairways along the side of building to save space. 

.

Bicycles under stairways. I learned that i cannot use them
cos they're all tag with serial number & logged in Police station's
record. If i get caught with one not under me name, its trouble neh !

.

Tada ! me room is just at the corner
as i was told. Let's go see neh ! *anxious*

.

Greeted with a long kitchen. 2 doors on right leads to
bath room & rest room. Nice! more compact apartments have
integrated bath & toilet in a single room (dun like). Tis's nice !

. 

Simple & clean room. its pretty big IMO. abt 4m x 5m size.
total area plus kitchen is abt 4m x 10m. can accommodate
2 students if request is made in advance.

.

Messy unpacking. its ok, just for a while neh. :D

. 

Quickly went out to Daiso nearby to get stuffs so
i can settle in asap. Funky socks to fight cold. LoL

. 

Even more stuffs .....

.

First dinner, that dun need cooking, at my study table.
unfortunately, i do not have a dinning table. So .... LL . LoL

Oh my gosh ! i still find it hard to believe i'm in Japan & is at the Yamasa accommodation
oredi ! Wahaha !! *filled with happiness!*

How will life be there after !? Will i get some idiot classmates ?? Are the teachers good?
Will i get sucky, dirty classrooms ? Will there be interesting things to do over weekend
at Okasaki ? or will i end up sucking thumb at home after homework is done ?? LoL

well.... i really dunno manz !... LoL   ... we shall see as the days pass.
Meanwhile..... a blissful, good rest for the night.

Oyasumi nasai ! *wink*
