Where do I live now
I live in Chiba Perfecture in Japan, which is located near Tokyo the capital city (an hour by train). Chiba is quite a big perfecture, the climate here is the same as in Tokyo but much more windier since it's located near the coast.

But I think I quite like living in Chiba. It's not as a frantic as Tokyo, but it's not what you call small town village either. There are plenty attractions here (at least that's what I've heard), but I seem to be spending my weekends more at Tokyo so I have this vow to myself that I will go sight-seeing around Chiba one of these days.

For all the people who haven't got the clue about the reason why I am in Japan, well let me tell you a bit about it. I'm here because I was fortunate enough to get a scholarship to study at Chiba University Faculty of Letters Department of Sociology under the tutorial of Associate Prof. Okumura for a year. I'm still enrolling at my university back home, University of Indonesia, as a fourth year student at Japanese Study Program.

And yeah, I'm Indonesian, and my home town is Jakarta.

The Chiba University International House
I think I will often mention this particular name in the future since it's where I'm staying now.
E-304 is my room number. A lil, tiny, weeny, dingy, cheap dormitory room with a bed, a book shelf, a cupboard, a tiny kitchen, and a bad excuse of a shower.

But no, I'm not complaining. The rent is cheap (really really cheap for Japanese standard), and there's a lot of hang out places around, and the best of all, I have lots of cool friends in this dorm.

Wanna see something gross?
Ok, click this! But I warn you...
