Who is your roommate?
My roommate's name is Josh, and he is from the states and attends West Virginia University like me. He is learning Japanese because he like's it, I'm not completely sure why.
Where are the other foreign students from?
There are students from Ohio University, Korea, China, Malaysia and Australia. Although, there might be more from some other places and I'm unaware of them.
What are all the food options at the various cafeterias?
There are a few cafeterias on campus, but most of them have been closed this week because school doesn't start until Monday(9/22/08). But the cafeteria in my building is open, but their options are eat our food or get something somewhere else. They mostly serve rice, miso soup and chicken/meat variations. Also somehow Mcdonalds got a spot on campus...
In the elementary and secondary schools in Japan, the students prepare and serve and clean up the meals. Is this the case at college?
We do not have to do this, the cafeterias are like American ones; get your food, eat and drop the dishes off at washing place.
Do you have a private bathroom for you and your roommate? Or is it shared with others on the floor?
We have all share four or five bathrooms, but there are plenty of sinks, showers, toilets, etc to keep everyone happy.
Have you been to the school bookstore? When do you buy all your school books and other supplies?
The school is providing classroom materials for us, but we have to pay for them.
Are you going to get a bike? Can you get it through the school or do you have to purchase your own in town?
I will be getting a bike at some point soon. I need to find a bike store though. Others have gotten bikes so I will ask them.

Morgan - thanks for this info.
I notice you wrote it at 4-09 AM. I don't know if that is Japan time or US time but it is too early to be awake! Hope you get adjusted to the 13 hr time shift.

Hi Morgy- It all looks very exciting! Good luck with school next week! -L
Hi Morgan: Thank you!! Can you take a photo of Josh? I would like to contact his parents - can you get me his home address and phone?
I'll write another list of questions as I think of them!
We're fine here. The weather is absolutely gorgeous here in Boston. I bot a bunch of flowers for Lilia and they are on her window sill. So pretty.
Love, Mom
