Before the first class at the university we went to the International Student Centre to check out a Bazaar for Exchange Students. To our surprise, we could find real bargains, with all sorts of pots, plates, glasses and other kitchenware for just JPY 10 (EUR 0.075)!!! Why did I bring all this stuff from home?

The class itself (Service Management and Servicizing) was ok, with the professor speaking quite good English (excellent for a Japanese, maybe except for pronounciation) and topics already known to us from our courses at WU. After the class we hurried back to the International Student Centre for the welcome party. Luckily, we made it on time to enjoy delicious sushi which was all gone after 20 minutes... ;) During the party, we were approached by a Japanese teacher who wanted us to join her class of Intercultural Communication. A little hesitant at first, we were all in after we found out that we would get to watch presentations about our home countries prepared by Japanese students. I am super curious what they say about Poland, the Netherlands & Austria (or Australia as the former does not really exist in Japanese minds).
