I've been here for over a month already, and I feel like I'm always busy with something. But even so it tons of fun! On weekdays i mostly hang around at home studying and spending time with the family. On the weekends I hang out with classmates. The taiwanese girls really take initiative for trips and gatherings, thus I tend to just go along with them. Even though there are some language barriers (only one of them speaks high level english), it's still alot of fun. Another thing I noticed is that taiwanese girls apparently love taking photographs pretty much all the time.
This weekend we went to Toyota to see some classical japanese music arrangement. It was a whole bunch of people playing the shamisen (two string instrument) and singing traditional japanese songs. It was slightly entertaining in the beginning, but after a while i noticed that half the row of my classmates where sleeping (me too...). We went out after 2 hours, and just started walking in a random direction (taking alot of pictures of course!). We ended up at the new Toyota museum of art. The museum grounds were really peaceful and beautiful, and we spent the rest of the day there. I'll post some additional pictures on facebook.
On another note here is an interesting japanese fact: In Japan you eat udon (thick noodles) when you are sick!
