The last month of my exchange was extremely hectic and filled with different emotions. Because of that I decided to post this blog post after arriving home, as I truly wanted to concentrate on the few weeks I had left in Fukuoka. The first two weeks of December were filled with hanging out with people…

Monday-Thursday This week I had quite a lot of exams, quizzes etc. They really do remind me of exams we would have in “lukio” in Finland, which is not exactly a good thing haha. They weren’t crazy long tho and many questions were multiple choice, which I liked. And these exams were mid-term exams, so…

So here’s going to be two weeks worth of stuff, as the first week was mainly me being sick (AGAIN), so there wasn’t much to report on 😀 I’ll briefly talk about the weeks. Mon-Sun (4/11/-10/11/) So pretty much the whole week again I was sick on and off. It seems like different kinds of…

Monday – Tuesday Got a common cold from other exchange students while hanging out with them the previous weekend, so I took the days off. Still made my analysis for the cinema class and hung out with some friends (who were also sick) at the dormy when feeling better. Wednesday Between classes I went to…

Monday I have noticed that a lot of students’ motivation for classes has dropped down quite a bit. Either their classes are extremely hard, or the students in them had different expectations. And of course, the grades don’t count (you still have to pass the class tho). To me the lack of motivation in some…

As last Monday was in the previous post, I’m going to start from Tuesday. Tuesday Had a pretty busy day at school and after school, went to the gym and barely had any free time after. So just did homework and went to sleep after dinner. Wednesday Pretty normal day, went to Tenjin after school…

Monday Today me and my Japanese friend went to a karaoke place, as it’s a pretty big thing here. I asked her how many times she goes to one and it’s minimum 3 times a month! Karaoke in Japan is very different, there’s private rooms with own TV’s and a tablet where you can choose…

Monday Went out to eat dinner at the dormy’s cafeteria after a small break as I had forgotten to sign in for dinner the last week! That thing is actually pretty tedious, as you need to sign in for dinner at least three days in advance and if you forget to do so you can’t…

Monday It was another day off from school as Japan had another national holiday, so I decided to sleep in a bit again. I decided to go on a walk to see some shrines in the city center area, and in the evening I watched an old b&w Japanese film called Rashomon for my cinema…

Monday Today was the “Respect of the Aged Day”, which meant a day off from school. Didn’t really help my situation as I was still feeling the flu symptoms. I managed to go to the mall in Nishijin station to get some groceries, but that was about it. We found out that our apartment building’s…
