Today was pretty neat. I got to have a traditional Japanese breakfast, which included cold salmon, rice, onion soup, and hot tea. It was pretty tough to finish it though :( I am thankful for the experience though! I also got to sleep Japanese style on a Futon on tatami mats. Pretty neat as well!
We had our last class today. We had a Japanese student attend and we help an interview in Japanese to find out more about each person. It was good hands on practice which was very interesting.
After class I got to chat with my entire family over the internet and show them some of the highlights of the first part of my trip. It was very nice to get to communicate with everyone before we start the next half of our trip. I am very excited for the next part as we get to travel all around Japan and be in one big group again!
We had a former Austin College Graduate speak in a lecture about finding a job/home in Japan. He is working for Goldman Sachs and is responsible for some of the assets in Japan. It was interesting to hear that he built relationships on the Student Investment Fund at AC which got him the job with Goldman Sachs. As many know, I will joining the Student Investment Fund this spring semester! I am very excited to begin learning first hand how to invest and such.
Tonight we had a Japanese style dinner, like normal, which had noodles, beef, and soup. It was very good, "Oshii desu!" as we say in Japanese.
The weekend is finally here! Yuki is planning on taking me to Tokyo Tower and some Hot Springs around here! (After I sleep in past 8 am, of course!)
