A year in Nagasaki

A desription of my final preparations during august and the fun time in Amsterdam during that time up to my year at the university of Nagasaki from the 1st october 2005 thru august 2006. Together with 9 other students from the University of Leiden, Holland, we are on an extra-curricular year to improve our conversational skills. Will it work ??

Monday, February 13

Finished.....

Last friday I went for dinner with Diana and to show you how small the doors are here at times, there is a cutie picture of Diana in front of the door of the restaurant called gobansho 御番 所.


Well just downed the 1st G&T cause we finished our exams 試験 ...... after a truly grueling time for me anyway. And I think they went O.K. as far as I,m concerned. Had a truly horrible night..stressed out and for what... It appears the 1st exam counted for 20% and the 2nd for 10% of the total mark. Attendance, participation and handing in your homework counts for 90% and 80%. For some people that's going to be tough cause there is clause that you must have an attendance rate of at least 80% to qualify for a credit anyway... So much for this schooling system.
Going for dinner later and not just with one beer.........


Since Alex loves ninki bunka 人気文化, basically making photoshots in booths with lotsa people or just by yourself, here a little collage of the most interesting ones(cause I'm in them ofcourse).

    Is Diana very large or is that door really that small. Is it perhaps the home of Santa's elves - I believe they are very small!!
    Well all that fuss over exams. What a rotten lot they are. I bet you did really well though. You are a credit to the Netherlands. They will speak of you in Nagasaki long after you've returned to the social whirl of Amsterdam. Speaking of which - how is Poppins?
    Am absolutely broke at the moment so as you well know that's the time to spend recklessly. I bought a satellite navigation system for the car. I just love it. Never get lost going to a shag's house again - joking!! Got it in Tesco. They had an offer and a further 10% off. Couldn't resist.
    Well back to work to pay for the thing.
    Take care
    Cheers

    He Paul.
    Staat een leuke verassing te wachten als je weer in eliden gaat studeren. Guess what. Opkomst plicht voor colleges. En met een mailtje ik ben ziek red je het niet. Er moet maar liefst een heel papier ingevuld worden voor de docent en de studie coordinatrice.
