In Japan

こんばんは!


I have been in Japan for a few days now. The main thing that has surprised me is the heat. Its hotter now in September then it was all summer in the UK. I'm also amused by the little differences. Such as Big Issue sellers just like we have in the UK and the crows here being bigger and louder. The first night I was woken up by one which I, at first, thought was somebody impersonating a bird it sounded so different.


The dormitory is nicer then I had expected. I'm particularly impressed by all the stuff that is provided. And by the impressive toilet and shower room that doubles as a drying room for washing. The rules are little draconian though. No men allowed in the suites at all, even relatives, and only female relatives can stay over night. And I have to inform the matron whenever I am going to be away over night or later then 12. But it could have been worse I guess. The rules also state that prostitution is forbidden in the rooms. I wonder if any other country then japan would include that rule?

My first view of Japan
