Wow! A week ago today I arrived in Tokyo and what a week it has been! As part of my Masters I am taking part in a two month exchange with students from Bunka University, a specialist fashion university in the Shinjuku district of Tokyo. I spent the first few days, overcoming my jet-lag and trying to take in all the new sights and sounds of the Japanese culture. This week I had met many of the polite and extremely helpful faculty in the university, learnt how to tie a traditional kimono, sampled sushi, visited many temples, witnessed a traditional wedding and had my first Japanese lesson! Plus much much more, which I will report on in the coming weeks. I have already taken an overwhelming amount of photographs which I will continue to post over the next two months. This is merely bye-bye and not sayonara!
