Not much happened today. We went to the school at 10 to fill out some paperwork. We filled out papers for national health insurance, a copy of the alien registration certificate, and a form to open a bank account. After all that was done, we went to the president’s office, who rambled for a while. I didn’t understand anything except “benkyou” - study. I’m sure it was probably a motivational speech about how we will study hard!!

After we were all done, Chris, Chloe and I went to eat at the ramen place again. This time I took pictures – I had the same thing I ate last time: Pork and rice, and gyoza.

I also had some ice cream. This cost 100 yen, which is just over $1 at the moment:

Today we went to 7-11, and found another piece of home:

When I stopped to take the above picture, a cat meowed, so I went to pet it:

And then his cute friend came over. He was too shy to let me pet him:

Strange flowers:

Now to write up a post about Japanese currency for my dear Kevin.
