別の外人

Yet another English student goes to study abroad, in my case for a year at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in Shanghai, China.

Today is a good day: I have sorted out everything. Well, the stupid Shanghai accom guy hasn't gotten back to me yet, but I'm not too worried, there are many things on Craigslist if this doesn't pan out. But otherwise, I have booked a night in a capsule hotel:


Doesn't it just look funky.

Best bit is, I'm gonna have a frigging massive holdall.

...

I think I'm gonna have to sleep on it.

Still, it's gonna be such an experience ^_^






I also purchased a Japan Rail Pass for 7 days from a place in Bristol that does it. I calculated, and to get from Osaka to Utsunomiya one way, it normally costs about £100, so the unlimited travel on JR trains for 7 days for about £170 is a great deal. Hopefully gonna also go to Nagoya with it too: thank god for the tourist visa!! Should probably check though that I don't need to get that in advance...

Also, now have a hand luggage bag/backpack type thing. It's pretty good, is designed to hold a laptop, and as long as it doesn't go over Emirates 7kg limit, all will be well... :P

Tomorrow going into Bath to get a few more yen (Have 30000 atm, but 21000 of that is going towards paying for a ferry, so another £50's worth is probably needed), padlocks, medicines and bras. Then, hopefully, that's it. GASP.
