Hey everyone, I just thought I'd pass on a message to let everyone know that I made it here okay! If you don't wanna be on this list in the future - just email me back and let me know. If you do want to send a reply - please reply to me and not the list :)

I'm having a bit of trouble getting used to the keyboards here - all the letters are in the same place, and MOST of the keys are but all the punctuation's spread out all over the place. The country here's about the same - lots of FAMILIAR sights, but they're in weird places and they look a lot different.

Got moved into the dorms last night - NICE rooms. They make my dorm room back at ECU look like crap ;b Food here... takes some getting used to, but I haven't had anything BAD yet. Everything here's more expensive, but luckily, they pay for a lot. (There was a Y20000 bill for the taxi ride back from the airport but the university ate the cost *.*)

In any case, I haven't started classes yet but I will soon, I:m sure - right now I've got a meeting with the guy who drove me back, hopefully I'll know more later. Gotta run!
