I think this is very interesting, because in the past two months,

I have experienced so much new things.

I think, yeah, I came here from Beijing.

Airport from Beijing, it takes just three hours, from Beijing to Tokyo.

It's just like a very short travel, a short trip from Beijing,

just like I'm traveling in China.

So, I don't feel that I'm in Japan now actually when I get off the plane.

And when I get off the plane, I think,

the first thing I did was, I purchased one IC card like this.

[LAUGH] I think this can be very useful because you can use this to get home in trains,

to use the subways and you can also buy some small things.

You can put some small money into this card, it's very use worthy.

Then I just went to my dorm.

I applied for the dorm provided by the university and luckily I got in.

It's not very far from the campus, it's just like half an hour by subway.

So it's very convenient and

it's much cheaper than houses provided by the outside area.

>> By the way, you speak Japanese right?

>> I can speak some Japanese.

Before I came here, actually, I studied some basic Japanese but

I just cannot, for example, when I went to the bank, the ginko.

I found it very difficult to speak some specific words,

it's very difficult.

Actually, they find a person, a staff who can speak some English and

we just communicated one word by another word, it's very difficult.

I can speak some Japanese word and he can speak some English word, yeah.

But we made it, I opened an account for myself now.

It's very interesting, yeah.

And then, another thing, I want to talk about, about starting a new life in Japan

is that after a student come here we have to go to the Shi-yakusho,

which means I think the, >> The City Hall.

>> The City Hall. Yeah.

To get registered and to do some procedures.

>> Uh-huh.

>> It's better if you can find some, for example,

a Japanese friend to accompany to go there because we have to

You have to talk with government officers, and

basically they cannot speak English well.

So, it can be a little bit difficult for you if you go there alone, yeah.

I think, when I came here it was April.

The sakura was blossoming, so I, the first day, went high,

I know was the Hanami, yeah.

Basically, it's just about you and your friends, and your family.

You go to the park where

the sakura is blossoming.

You just sit down and drink some beer, eat some food.

>> [CROSSTALK] Talk.

And you get to sing, singing and talk.

It's very relaxing and fun.

Yeah I think, yeah.

>> What about you?

>> So that's what you're interested in most.

>> Yeah, yeah, yeah, because I like sakura very much.

It's very good for you.

>> It's a good time when you've been in Japan in April.

[LAUGH] >> Yeah, yeah, yeah.

The first place I went was Ueno Park.

So, I was just amazed by the sakura there.

>> So, mine I think, should be the tea ceremony.

>> Sorry.

>> Tea ceremony.

>> Tea ceremony.

>> The ocha one.

>> Plus, I have joined the Japanese arts school with Japanese language class in

Hongo Campus.

And then he offered me chances to experience

the traditional Japanese, the tea ceremony.

And then, even though procedure is simplified.

But I can still experience a traditional one style,

maybe I think, the powder and then stirred it.

>> Matcha desu ka? >> Yeah.

>> And then drink it.

Yeah even there's a skewer, how to make more the bubbles,

even important to taste the green tea.

So it's a very good experience for me to taste their ocha.

>> You like tea?

>> I like ocha.

>> [LAUGH] >> Like my first year,

in my first year of Masters course, I've been to

almost all the cultural events created by the student affairs office.

>> Wow >> And

I was like too interested in that cultural event.

So even the student affairs office really remember my face.

>> [LAUGH] >> We have been to, for example,

Kabuki show.

>> Wow. >> Yes, Kabuki show.

And we've been to the historical museum as well.

Not only with the students but also with the local people.

And there are a lot of cultural events and also,

I also joined tea ceremony and Japanese dance.

>> Yes, yes, I've been exposed to a lot of cultural experiences and it's really fun.
