First Impressions Of Kobe University

Having visited the university for the first time the other day, and being incredibly bored tonight, I feel its time to blog about it. We went to the university after what can only be described as B-Day. Similar to D-Day, and not the unnerving french bum washer, this day deserves a letter of its own. Not Day of Days, but Bureaucracy Day. The Japanese love a good form as much as they love a good bit of plastic packaging. In one day we registered at university, opened a bank account and applied for the welcomingly named "ALIEN REGISTRATION CARD". Which itself sounds like something out of District 13. Before I move on in this very disjointed passage, whilst we are on the topic of films, there is a film coming out next month simply entitled 2012. Check out the trailer (Youtube the Japanese trailer, its in English, but its longer.)

Right, back on track. The university itself is set in tranquil grounds on the side of a mountain, and there are some views that I would feel unable to describe using my meger writting ability so Ill stick some pictures in.

There is a ropeway you can take to the top of Mount Rokko and with views like this I may have to induldge. My first impressions of staff and facilities were good, but I fear it will all come down to my fellow students of whom I know none yet. Still, there is a welcoming "party" on Wednesday so hopefully I can make a good impression. It will take some beating to be a more diverse, fun loving and genuine group of people I had the pleasure of knowing from my course and homes in Cardiff. Love you all fizzbitches! x
