First week in Japan; airport, meeting people, yup

So i'm starting a blog to do in my free time just to get some of my thoughts and adventures down into writing. Not going to really cater my posts to anything in particular, this will sorta be like a diary haha. So my first week in Japan... I flew from Minneapolis MN, to Chicago IL, to Narita airport Japan, and finally to Akita Japan. Travel through the airports was kinda tricky for a couple reasons. One is that i've never flown on a plane before so I didn't know the process well at all. And the second is that as you go people speak less and less English. The flight was actually kinda torturous because it was over 12 hours long. You got good service from the flight attendents and two full meals... but I had a terrible seat. I was in the back row (58 i think) and I was in the middle and my legs were pretty cramped. I could not sleep much at all so I watched four different movies; Iron Man 3, The internship, Monsters univsersity, and one other I can't think of. The first full day in Japan (I think the 24th) I set up a bank account, got my residency taken care of, and other semi boring orientation stuff. Just being in Japan plus getting to know the tutor made it fun though. The next day we had an orientation. There are kids from all over internationally. Probably about 50 new international students. Chinese, Korean, Mongul, Romanian, Russian, Tawainese, Kenyan. Pretty diverse. Got to have a good supper on friday after another orientation thing. Met more people. Went and hung out that night. Saturday I met Yukiko and her daughters and picked up a bike and other misc that a former international student at the university left for me. Sunday was interesting because I stumbled upon an American football game. It was Akita University vs another school (I was unfamiliar with one the kanji so I could not pronounce the name) Akita won 30-0 :). Monday I had my first day of classes and met quite a few people. Getting more used to things on campus is nice. As I get more familiar with things like the city and where things are things seem less overwhelming and big. Getting more used to things here and I'm looking forward to the second week and improving my Japanese as much as possible. I also am tyring to eliminate a lot of English reading on the computer and stuff, but not completely yet because that would drive me mad. I like getting my thoughts down like this and hope to continue.
