Hello Ozzies!
Back again with fresh info! It's been a couple of days since my last entry, and its time to make an update.
For the moment, what strikes me the most is the perfect synchronization between all the Japanese people. Here, pedestrians flow like a river, and there is never a crash. They even do the queue to get inside the metro!
Thursday and Friday, we registered ourselves in our respecting city halls (apparently, we need to carry a special card that tells everyone we are not Japanese...as if it wasn't written all over our faces!). It was quite funny, because, surprise surprise... nobody speaks English! Lucky for us, the Center provided us with a couple of sentences and some useful fotocopies to show around and get ourselves understood. We also registered at the Embassy, just in case. By the way, we had our first earthquake! The told us it was 4,5. And to tell you the truth, it was quite shaky. But at the moment I thought it was due to a passing train. People take it so casual, it's amazing.
In the picture, some of the Spanish Vulcanus during lunch break. The 4th floor is where most of the following 4 months are going to take place...
Lunch was funny: we had our first bento box (a box with a full meal), but since there are no banks in the streets, we tried to eat it in the first place we found. As a result, we had to move twice because door keepers from different buildings kicked us out.
And Friday night, the D-day: members from the Embassies, from the EU, from the Japanese government and from the companies. It was quite nice: we were also able to meet Vulcanus alumni (it is amazing to see how many Spanish alumni have stayed in Japan!) and I was glad to hear that I would be able to get some holidays during my internship. Yuhuu!
After the cats were not around, the mice went dancing. First night in Roppongi (with real, serious partying). We went to a club called New Lex. As in everywhere else in Roppongi, the majority of the people were occidentals. Which was ok, takin
g into account is our first night and we have plenty of nights to go to more Japanese environments. It looks like we Vulcanus are not that otaku after all...

Maybe is because I can not read it well, but I would swear that in your card is written: Guillermo Alejandra - Bitch Motherfucker.
Please, confirm it.
Nice to know you are starting to survive.
Yeah, maybe I'm ill, but I understood the origin of the bukkake when I saw the picture of the underground.
I'm sorry, you are mistaken, but my card says Guillermo Alejandre (with a e). But yes, I'm a Bitch Motherfucker who's having a great time at Tokyo (unlike others, I presume). Please, send me your address so that I can send you nice postcards from here. I would like to see your face going greener and greener with envy...
Hi dear Guille,
Thx for your email & news, nice to hear you're enjoying your japanese experience ;).
How do you cop with japanese language?
Did you tried cold soba with soya+ Wasabi sauce;)? One of my favourite dish...
I'll keep in touch asap!
take care!
Didn't catch the thing about cats and mice you could post a coment for the slow ones.
I'm realy green, I can't wait to see japanese capitalist making you work 18 hours a day.
You could also check your mail and answer
Don't worry bro, I know that getting older is always very difficult (jejejeje)! "When the cat is not around, the mice will play". It's an old English proverb.
Regarding the 18 hour shifts, I think I'm gonna be very sorry for you...Do I need to tell you that I will be working for an international company? I will be sending you beautiful postcards, even during my internship. By the way...haven't I told you that I may be going to ski in December to Hokkaido? They say they have the best powder snow...(just to see if this makes your face turn even greener!)
