bills and notices










paying for bills, reading notices and announcements can really prove to be a challenge especially with limited language skills! more often than not, we bungle up these seemingly mundane tasks!

ni hao ma?










two-thirds of foreign students in japan are chinese. TsukU is no exception. the other half mostly speak english. one my friends in the university speaks chinese, japanese, and english (he's not chinese tho)! we therefore think that he can be the mayor for all foreign students in the U!

he's taking the entrance test next week, we wish him good luck!

in case you're wondering, the guy said "these noodles are great!" to which the girl replied; "really?" thanks to Poi for the chinese translation. cheers~!

oh, what are we to do without it?!?

japanese bikinis









everybody loves japanese matsuris or festivals! well... except my roomie. hehehehe...
check out all those men in fundoshis.

who stole my bike?!?










in TsukU, as well as Japan, bicycles are a way of life so losing your bike is probably the crappiest thing that can ever happen... especially to a poor student who relies on a *gasp* stipend!

keep you bicycles locked everyone!

internal alarm clock










ever notice how the japanese can sleep through their entire commute and simply wake up in time for their destination? amazing ne?
