Tomorrow marks the midterm of the Intensive Japanese Course I am taking. It has been two months since I arrived; and I feel nervous about how much I really know about the Japanese language. I guess it is just a matter of confidence. It really is a challenge to be in a new place, among […]

For those who may know me personally, the title of this entry might seem a little out of character - a little vulgar even, but it is not completely uncalled for. I just had a strange day (Saturday). It’s just one of those days, in which things happen, and you end up thinknig about it […]

Wow, I just realize that it has been nearly a week since I’ve written a new entry. Time here in Tokyo seems to move faster than it does in Bahrain (especially when you are stuck in a BORING job like I was). It is a little after 2.00am here, and I just did so many things […]

Wow; what a day. Today was one of those days in which I managed to accomplish many things. I was in the Karate dojo today by 10.00am till 12.30pm to get some practice out of the way. I had to run quickly back to the dormitory to get a shower and run back outside to […]

Haha! What a day! To keep track of my thoughts, I’ll divide up the paragraphs:
1. The new, brave chocolate sushi chef:
Today, I have suddenly turned brave today. After having a small sushi meal followed by a fistful of almond-milk chocolate (meiji, the same I had on Nippon Maru last year during the Valentine’s day party). […]

Today, was another day of intense studying. This, however, is a welcome ritual because it keeps me focused on what I am here in Japan to do. Last week, however, I had a difficult time being able to get any sleep, which made it very difficult for me to get any revision done. Every night […]

Based on the events that took place earlier today, I have decided to dub it INTERNATIONAL-GOOD-BAHRAINI-DAY. Last night was another night in which I found it impossible to sleep. I didn’t sleep until sunrise and heard the birds outside sing. Weird. But, I woke up early, because I am in the routine of being awake […]

Just got done with hanging out with friends from my Japanese language class. In my class, there are five students, besides myself. We spend 7 hours in class together, and usually hang out in the evenings, so, you can imagine how close we are becoming. The only two girls in my class are both from […]

Hmm.. Today marks my 1 and a half month since I arrived here in Japan. It is unusually cold today for a mid-May day. Very cloudy, but no rain (everytime I end up carrying my umbrella, it NEVER rains. Needless to say, I carried my umrella to class this morning, hence, the lack of rain. […]

Hmmm, just got done with yet another 8-hours-of-class-day. Started the morning with 4 hours of ‘bunpou’ (i.e., Japanese Grammer); Ah, the brain-breakfast of champions. It’s a little after 5.30pm here in Kunitchi, which means I am LATE for dinner unless I do something about it. Today, I am yet again too lazy to cook or […]
