The first few days in Japan - The flight and moving into the dorm
Today is the day the trip begins in Japan. I had the night before departure online check in, so I really need to just half an hour before the flight at the airport, but we are used to a lot been there. You never know ...
at the airport was so little going on that I have to wait in the queue instead of (2 people), was allowed to check in at the First Class counter. You feel it somehow particularly ^.
^ To me the time to sweeten something I have then visited a few friends at the airport and I spent the last few hours in Germany.
Since this was my first flight, everything was pretty new and exciting for me.
When boarding was first of all have everything normal until someone then saw my laptop. Again had to be specially tested for drugs. What kind of effort.
Then I walked through the huge range of duty-free shops, with me everything was too expensive there, and I had just before all other things on my mind.
The plane was surprisingly spacious. From the stories it always sounded much closer than it really was. For this purpose I had its own TV with a huge selection of movies, games and other funny things, as on the views from various cameras board! And since the machine was not fully booked, the two seats were next to me also ^-free. ^
flying is generally not very spectacular. For me it was like traveling by train. Similarly, loud and quiet. Well, the launch and landing are already noticed anything different, but I have not really much of it.
middle of the night I arrived in Dubai. After we made an extra round of the city, I was back in the duty-free zone. More then I have not seen from Dubai. 3 hours of music and I had to kill a book. The time passed relatively quickly and you thank God I was sitting in the next plane to Osaka.
This was even more "modern", which the television was now even a touch screen!
This flight was to similar to a "small" storm calm as the flight from it. The storm, the aircraft has shaken so violently that my food and especially water would be skipping through the air, if I had not noted. Oo That scares me even more.
During the flight I will then try to get some sleep, which may have I managed for 2-3h well, but exactly I do not, because by the time shifts may hours have been lost.
arrived in Osaka, I had a health check, which consisted primarily of the question, which country do I get and then I could with my luggage. Which I could still wait a good half hour. I was afraid that it is not come along.
began But now the exciting part, for I was now completely on my own, in Japan and I still had to Kobe to my hotel!
After I had found the machines after an eternity for my ferry, I was just waiting for the bus that brings me to the ferry. And now here I noticed that even though I'm at the airport, hardly anyone spoke English. Could they not, or did not they?
the ferry I went in 30 min and had arrived in Kobe, there just have to find the port liner.
There goes this train on elevated tracks, it was not too hard to spot the station and after I had bought another ticket there, I went to the station "Boekki Center. Since I was pretty ko, I do not have too much of the trip noticed, except that it always full, the closer I Endhaltestellle (Sannomiya) came.
After I gequätscht from the car, I stood there. In which direction was the hotel again? Although I've looked at the streets Google.Maps, I still am, first run in the wrong direction. But I habs finally found and am exhausted but still fell into my bed. The next day I had to
then go back to the port liner back towards the airport, because my dorm was on port Iceland between the stops "Futou Kita" and "Shimin byouin Mae." Here is a small card:

Since I already had experience, I immediately bought the right ticket and I have now found their way to the dorm. * Happy *
I was there, kind of all sorts of people (students, the job for home and students who should take care of us) is received and after it is all been said, I have my room seen for the first time.

(Ok, the photo was taken a little later ... ^^''')
then have me accompanied by two female students to IKEA, where I got my first few utensils (dishes, bedding, etc bought).
After a short implementation period at home, we have then taken over and are all gone to the local register office where it was pronounced vorran quickly, only why there speak no English (after all we were there in the Department of foreigners), I do not understand. And then we went first to the university to know where the main building Kokusaibunkagakubu (Faculty of Intercultural Studies), Medical Center and of course the
KISC - Kobe International Student Center:

(You do not see too much of the center, but at least the view from there over Kobe)
The day itself was really very interesting and we saw so much new, but the Job's message came in the evening:
On the question of how it looks because with the Internet, the answer came:
You need to get it myself or find someone with whom you can share. Since virtually all of them were newly drawn, there were few who already had Internet, which in turn had no place more quickly to divide the Internet.
apply for new means, however, wait 3 weeks ... So I introduced myself to 3 weeks without an Internet ...
