I’ve been having a great time here so far! It has been really nice to explore and experience Nagoya and Nanzan. My favorite thing we did this week was either the trip to Sakae or visiting Inuyama castle and town.

The only challenges I have had so far are the amount of hills and my legs being sore, but otherwise I have found Nagoya to be quite easy to navigate! The subway is sooo nice, I really like how quiet they always are, even when being packed in like sardines (especially on the way to the festival today).

Before coming, I was slightly worried about finding food that I like because I am a picky eater, but I have enjoyed pretty much everything I have tried!

I had a friend who studied abroad at Dickinson who wants to meet up when she gets back, so I am looking forward to that. I am also looking forward to going back to book-off sometime soon. I would like to pick up a manga in Japanese to see how well I can read it (probably One Piece vol. 1 hehe).

Overall, I am having a great time, and I can’t wait to see what else we do!!

(P.S. if you ever are going to a restaurant and don’t want to go alone come bang on my door, i’m in 202 ^v^)
