People

Hey, so I added a hit counter to my blog and I got about 20 hits yesterday which is pretty awesome! So some of you have been asking about the people I met here, I've met a looot of people to the point of it being overwhelming, most of international students are from the United States, but I also met people from German, Switzerland, Canada, Mongolia, Russia, the UK. I'm sure there are more.

I'll try to mention a few people I met, first there are Terica and Adam, They both go to SUNY and I got in touch with both of them before arriving in Japan. Adam has been in Tokyo several and was tested to go into a Japanese class one level above me. Terica has never been outside of the country and flew for the first time to Japan, she is taking introductory Japanese. Over the last 2 days I also hanged out with 2 guys from Mongolia, they can actually speak Russian a little bit and were testing it out with me....I should really ask for their names again.

As I mentioned a lot of faces and names, recently however, I figured out a good way to remember people I spoke to, make a mental note about something about them, like something they wear. As a result of this system, there is currently one (just one for now) Japanese person that I know by name.
