School and shopping

19 April 2012

School has finally started, and I guess that will also mean less frequent updates from now on.

Since the last time I wrote an entry nothing much happened  After a week of trying out different kind of classes I made my final schedule and it was approved by my teacher. Since most of us (the Dutch students) ended up in the C class (C being the second highest difficulty level) they decided to split the group in 2 and I ended up in class C2. My schedule is as follows:

Mon: free
Tues: 09.00-17.50
Wed: 09.00-12.10
Thur: 09.00-16.10
Fri: free

So as you can see I have 2 long days, but hey, I have a four-day weekend :D the classes untill now have been very easy, nothing new anyway. The teachers are very nice and make most of the classes fun.

A couple of days back Janneke and I went to the Yamada Denki (on our newly acquired bikes), a big electronics store in the south of Matsumoto. We bought an iron and a vacuum cleaner, one of those that doesn't need a bag.Then we went to the cheap clothing store that was in the same building as the Yamada Denki, where I bought my very first Japanese clothing ^_^

There was also a supermarket next to the clothing store (Yuparetto I believe it's called) and we actually found frozen food for a reasonable price! Everything in Japan is so much more expensive than it is in the Netherlands. Especially fruit and vegetables. We also bought canned apples, which really interest me since I've never had them before. It was only after we came home from our shopping spree we realized we didn't have a can opener XD

Guess that's it for this time, until the next! またね！
