A new place to live in Guroburu Hausu (Global House)
Well I am back in Japan, and I couldn't have returned at any better time. It is cherry blossom season, and my campus has become really pictueresque. Now, it is much nicer to walk through the city because it's like walking through a nature calender. Unfortunately I have to walk through the city because my bike was confiscated by the city for being parked for too long. Fuckers. I have changed my address. I have moved into a dormitory on campus as opposed to my homestay in Tachikawa. Saying goodbye to my homestay family wasn't to bad. The fed me for one last time, and told about the recent events in their day. When I finally left I got a hearty handshake from my homestay father, and I promised I would return again before I returned to Canada. I have to. I borrowed some coat hangers.
I now live in Global House. I have three roomates in my unit. There is Chris, an exchange student from Hong Kong, he is really nice and friendly, but tends to keep to himself, and apparantly lives of a diet of boiled eggs without the yolks. There is a first year freshman; a Japanese student. He is a little akward, but incredibly excited to be living on his own and acts really outgoing. Finally there is Jun, who is another Japanese student. I knew of him before; he thinks he is too cool, because he is a senior, and runs the breakdancing society, and I haven't said anything to him other than hello. He seems like a dick. Other than that I am surrounded by the friends that I have made through the year, and they are all really happy that I am here. Now that I live on campus I will have more time to enjoy campus life, like club activites, but I have to concern my self with my own nourishment, which is a drag. Class starts next week, and I will be taking some politics classes as a change of pace, and for UofT requirment. This weekend I am going to a Japanese league baseball game with the Giants (wiki them), and going to a music festival with my friend Tomomi.

Oli this is a beautiful picture. I can't believe that you live with the head of the breakdancing society. Awesome! I hope said head never finds your blog, or you'll have some backtracking to do!
You have a good point there Sharon, but I wouldn't worry about it, I assume he would only visit a website relating to some form of dance.
