Day 1

First full day in Japan! I woke up to what sounded like a small child screaming. Most likely it was a cicada. Never heard anything like that before. Took a trip early with my host mother to the local government building to get my gaijin (foreigner) registration card. Very intimidating. Came home for lunch, and met my host family's two children, who I was unaware existed until they walked into the room. Way to go me. They're 27 and 31, and I can't remember their names anymore, which I feel bad about. After lunch, I went to campus so I could figure out how to get there via the trains. I wish we had this kind of transit system at home, it makes everything so... convenient. Apparently my host family really likes baseball. I watched a game with them, in which the local team, the Hanshin Tigers, got dominated 7-0. Not sure if they're any good.
