Japan: No more pictures!

After the Fukuoka tour, we started classes and thus begun my descent into overworkload hell. Apparently it's a nice tourist spot in Japan. My classes are: Business Japanese (Japanese related to business), Technical Japanese (useful language stuff), and Japan Today (the fun class).

Business Japanese was insanely intense. Essentially an 18-week course compressed to a 4-week period. (Past tense because I just took the final exam so I'm done with it). For the first week we had a homework every day (each homework covered a chapter so we covered a chapter at least a day).

Technical Japanese is mainly in Tokyo. We've been doing some classes, but they mainly involved learning tons of useful kanji (like food-related kanji, sign-related kanji, etc.)

Japan Today is where we just do fun stuff like make our own hanko, try our hand at calligraphy, and give presentations based on interesting topics such as whether people preferred American movies to Japanese.

I'm tired...
