Yeah people... !
Yep so today begins a new story, about school...
So i spent all evening the night before practicing the speech that i was gonna hold infront of the entire school, in japanese by the way, and they are like 2000 people.
I went to bed a little early and woke up way too early, it takes like 15 minutes for me to eat breakfeast and get ready... i woke up one and a half hour before. But it was fine, i worked really slow with everthing. like trying to get the tie to be the most perfect and the hair to become great but i was still done after half an hour so i just watched some tv.
Then i left for school... The thick dark blue winter uniform and 22 degrees outside. Hell yeah, not!
And the train was like too much people... but it was allright.
I have like a bike ride to the station Nakajima, one train to Nagoya, subway to Ikeshita and then like 20 minutes walk to the school. But that walk is not the most annoying part... its the Nagoya - Ikeshita subway. Its just so much people...
I got to school, and our class had to meet in out classroom before the opening ceremony.
The walk to the classroom was quite interesting, i got countless "Hello" and "How are you doing" in bad english xD. But it was quite nice. Everyone was smiling and looking and saying hello.
I got into the classroom and met the class teacher, he is very good. He is also very weird in a good way... We had some kind of information. I didnt understand a word, by the way. Then we went in to the big gym hall... or whatever its called :P. Big sports place with a stage. everyone sat dow in perfect rows. And then everyone stood upp and stood really really straight, I did as the others did. Then they checked everyones shirts and ties and skirts and bowties. Everything had to be perfect. And then the principal came in and had some kind of an opening/welcome speech, which i didnt understand att all either. Then it was my turn and they told me to do the speech in english. That was maybe lucky, maybe unlucky... but at the time i was more thinking that i was lucky. I then went up on the stage and looked out over the 2000 students sitting in perfect rows. All the nervousness dissapeared and i started talking about me. And the english teacher translated.
After that the most interesting exams i have ever done begun. We went to the classroom and sat down. We then did different tests... In japanese. Even the math was impossible becuase half was understandable but the understandable was really not understandable in a math point of view... I havent even heard of the things the test was about... So well, it was... Interesting...
The english test had questions in japanese so i just guessed and got 50% right on it :P
The japanese test is not even worth mentioning... it was... in japanese.
After that i went home, at around 13.15 maybe it was.
On the train home i met a really nice girl that i tried to talk a little to and she tried to talk to me. She went off at the Sakae station.
The second day.
The second schoolday was very good. Many lessons that ya dont really get anything out of... people sleeping around the classroom :P (Not me, i promise xD), People doing other subjects homework, and then there were the people who were actually listening.
But i got alot of help from my new friends with everything. Their names are Liza and Yuki. Later after all the lessons the school had a club orientation. It was three hours where the different clubs showed different stuff to recruit clubless second and third years and ofcourse the new firstyears. Who are about 700 by the way :P.
I was sitting with some really cool people that didnt have a club either. One of them was gonna join basketball and another tennis. I still dont know wich one to join...
After the baseball teams performance they all (and i mean everyone) went up and sat around me xD i bet it must have looked really fun. it was like me in the dark uniform and them in white/purple baseball wear. They are all really nice and they taught me some japanese.
Today was another day at school. During the first two days every girl in the entire school had introduced themselves to me and the third day everyone came asking if i could remember their names... i couldnt. only Liza, Shiho, Yuki, Ai, and Yuu. I dont remeber as many guys names though. Only Masato, Masahiro, Takae and Masako.
Its not that they have that hard names to remeber but its too many people under such a short time. Ya dont really get the chance to register a face.
Today i went to the kendo practice to watch them in action. It was really cool, DAMN they are fast. I dont think i will join the kendo club becuase of morning training wich i have a hard time getting to, since i have an hour to school. and They have long practice every day... I want some freetime too. So i will do some more browsing. Havent decided any club yet. But i will do Karate every weekend i hope.
Alot of talk and no pictures... Thats what it will be today. I havent taken any pictures. I am gonna buy a camera tomorrow or saturday.
Got any questions, dont hesitate to leave them in a comment. Have a good one mateys!

Yay, Adventure!
Just a little pre story, Today we went to the castle of Nagoya. It was really cool, the pictures that follow ar from there and from Atsuta Shrine.
This first one is a picture from inside the castle. Its a samurai sword, obviosly. And it looks really cool. :D
This picture is taken from the top floor of the castle. It was just a room with lots of windows. Really cool view though. This is the view towards my part of the city.
This is another picture from up there. This one is like nagoya. dont know what part of town.
This is a picture from just outside the castle. Its me and my host mom.
This picture is from outside the castle walls, there was theese people playing japanese drums. It looks really cool when people play it. And it sounds really powerful. My first night in my host family they took me to a concert.
This is just another picture of the castle and the other house on the castle area.
This is just a picture of the map over the castle area.
This is an awesome picture of alot of sakura.
This is a fortune from the shrine. It lsays that my lucky colour will be white. I will be very lucky soon. If i work hard i will be even more lucky. People i wait for will be late. And stuff like that. Its really cool. :D
This is a big thing that was at the shrine. Everytime we passed one of these we had to stop and bow to it.
This is a 1300 years old tree. Apparently one of japans national treasures is a sword that was forged from the tail and a head of a eight headed snake living in this tree. According to japanese "mythology"? Or maybe Legend... Anyway. It was a really awesome place. They have so much to see in japan.
That was all the pictures i had to show you today. Next week school will begin so ill maybe write something more next weekend, it depends on how much time i will have.

Answers...
Things cost like they do everywhere, i payed like 7000 for the converse, no idea about jeans, other shoes and other clothes. There are many second hand cloth stores so maybe not so expensive.
I will take the train and subway to school, my mom payed the train card, its like the one we have in sweden. There were several english books in the bookstore, but i did not buy anything, we were just there to check out the japanese language books that lars had used and recommended that i use instead of kumon. I havent bought any pens or that stuff, but i will during the weekend. You guys ask hard questions... maybe i will know the answer later.

Yeah, Sakura and sunshine, could it get any better?
So, today i went out for a little bike adventure around the area where i live. It was really nice and i went in to some small shops just browsing around. This area is really beautiful. There was this bridge over a canal a little while from my house. I was just crossing it when i saw how beautiful it was with the sakura and the sunshine.
Heres a picture for ya.
Some answers to your questions, School starts the seventh of april.
There are like 2000 students at the school.
I am finally finished with all the kumon that i have got, so now i send it to the kumon tutor and get 2 new books.
The city i live in is not that crowded because its such a huge city, people are spread out.
I live in the harbour area, so there aint that many people running around. most people are in the central nagoya.
I will have to get used to the kendo training... Wake up very early, training at 6 until 8.30 when the other lessons start and then training after school a very long time... But hopefully kendo is a fun sport and you know what they say, the more you practice the better you get.

Watermelon colour...
The pants are striped green and blue, just like a watermelon, and the tie is the same colour. thats what i ment by watermelon colour. just to clear up some misunderstandings. or something.
The picture doesnt really show off the watermelon characteristics. and it is too big, but it is very comfortable.
There are several cheap computers here fritjof af herserud. lets just wait until the end of the year, the one i have might be alot cheaper then, or something.
Some questions that came up.
We dont sit on the floor when we eat. We have an ordinary table.
I can understand and talk some japanese now, the thing i am best at is reading.
My sister and brother are really great. We dont really talk that extreemly much but i try to talk japanese with them and try to understand what they say. We can communicate quite well.
