The final two days of orientation week... Thursday began with a grand opening ceremony held in Kansai Gaidai's auditorium, where the president of the university and some other keynote speaker's, including America's consulate general, gave speeches and wished us the best luck for our semester in Japan. The ceremony was followed up by a banquet held in one of the campus cafeterias, where we feasted on some delicious Japanese cuisine.That afternoon we were joined by some Japanese girls who took us to a fun area of Osaka call Namba, a place that reminded me a lot of Shibuya in Tokyo.
On Friday we joined up with another group of Japanese girls and took a trip into Kyoto. They showed us around a couple different shrines, including Kiyomizu temple, one of the more famous ones in Kyoto that has an incredible panoramic view back on the city. I ate okonomiyaki for the first time - take a look at the pics and tell me if you think you'd be able to eat it with chop sticks. It wasn't easy for me!
