Not in Japan but the UK.

First post from the UK! I arrived to Leeds 14th Sep at night. It was like 11pm when I arrived to my dorm and there was nobody. I couldn't get in my room and decided to stay one night at my friend's room. It was lucky that I was with a friend of mine at that time! I thank her a lot. :) We couldn't find the main road to go to a friend's room in another accommodation and luckily, there were local people walikng down the street where we were and we asked them for the place. and again luckily, they graduated The University of Leeds where we belong to now and know the place of the accomm! We were very lucky. Thanks to them, we safely arrived to a friend's room and stayed one night inside. When Taxi that we caught from the station left us around my dorm, it was like a nightmare. but think it back now, it's a funny story though. I should be glad about my luck anyway. It's been 4 days since I came here and started living in dorm. It's not that bad so far. The uni is so huge that I can easily get lost, and in city centre, there're so many places I'd love to go! I actually didn't expect that the city has such a lot of fun places and shops. There's even MUJI which makes me sigh because of its sweet pleasure of reminding me of my home country. I haven't looked around the city very much yet. I'll do so before lectures start and become busy. I kinda like to walk to School from my place. It's a bit far and tiring for me since it takes 20 mins and there're some slopes, but there's a big and beautiful park on the way and it has a park for BMX and skateboard. That's more like it! haha and also you can see many poster columns which is like..ad towers and they make me wear a slight smile on my face because one of the famous palces for gigs in Leeds, Cockpit, puts their schedules on the towers and there's his name "Carl Barat". haha I always go like "I'm seeing him!!" so my playlist for heading school is The Libertines or Dirty Pretty Things. haha I thought Leeds could be like a country side but I was wrong! Now I can tell people that you should visit Leeds when you come to the UK for sightseeing. It's a lovely place esp City Centre. Around the uni, of course there're tons of students so I don't really recommend to come though. haha To be honest, I got bored and tired of my day going to School and coming back to my room. I should walk around the Uni and City Centre more and find something interesting. The uni keeps saying to us, international student, not to go out alone. It's a difficult request, isn't it? What about when I want to go shopping alone? but nothing can replace your life and that's not worth your safety...I know I know! Mmm, I get bored quite easily. Therefore, I decided to have part of Language exchange scheme. hope I can meet someone intersting and a music lover!
