Japan, 6 days after landing

I only get internet here for about 30 minutes a day here as Japanese internet is apparently not as good as Korea internet. The Mbps difference is about 1:10 in Korea's favor, and the internet for MISH, the student lodging for EAP students, is split amongst 25 some odd people. So at peak hours, I get enough for a small animated gif maybe, if anything at all. But 9AM is a fine time for internet as everyone knows that college students are nocturnal creatures and don't consume precious bandwidth in the morning time. So right now, I can actually get shit done.

School is gay, but I can get over that. People are chills, a lot of weird "small-world" situations occurring. My two buddies that I was assigned by the schools are actually a Korean girl and a Japanese girl who is learning Korean. So half the time I speak Japanese and the other half, when I get lazy or I'm fucking retarded about Japanese, I just speak in Korean. Then, when I am really lazy, I just yell English very loud, as is custom of American tourists.

I'm experiencing about 0.1% culture shock, as nothing really seems out of the ordinary. Shit here is pretty much the same as living in Korea. Everyone still has them chinky eyes and smells like fish. Except for the lack of kimchi in everything, which is a plus in my book, everything remains an almost mirror-image of what I just left.

In a quick summary of Japan: a bunch of crap so far happened, school is always the interference to a great college lifestyle, and money is simultaneously being conserved and wasted as Japan cannot accomodate an American lifestyle unless you have a six figure income. No wonder people are so small in this country: they can't eat properly at all with the prices for food and other essentials. Even nintendo wiis are 40000円, around $400. What a bunch of bullshit. Also, the won keeps getting the shit beaten out of it by the yen and the dollar, so I don't see any money exchanges for me in the near future, except maybe dollars to yen.
