Oh god, all of my blog menus are now in Japanese. I'm in Japan! I've only been here 2 days so far, but I've been very busy with orientation, and also just exploring the city separately. It's an amazing place! I heard about how different Japanese culture was, but actually being here, it really hits you. I do love the mix of traditional and modern. Also, such a contrast to my Russian stay - everyone here is so polite (whereas in Russia, they were often pretty rude on the street). I'm not very confident in my Japanese yet, but I suspect it will get better (I just moved in with my host family today, and they speak no English at all, so I had to get over my hesitation to speak Japanese).
We've been on a few bus tours and the like so far, which I didn't really get any pictures of (because it was inside a bus, and therefore crappy). But I got to walk around some very nice streets, I'll just post a few photos.
I deleted a bunch, because the formatting was really weird. But these two are of Shibuya crossing (the most famous Tokyo area probably), and an all-purpose store.

Is that a giant bagel?
How do you say bagel in Japanese? Nina ;-)
Haha I suspect it is, they have the most random stuff in those kinds of stores.
Um, I'm not sure about bagel. I'll ask my host mom and get back to you! I don't think it's a very popular meal here, though.
