Hi :)

I will stay at the Institute from late June and it’s nice to see pictures and comments about it and how much you liked your stays there.

I have some questions:
- Did you swim at the beach near the Institute ?
- Could you post some pics of your room ?
- What do you think about the professors?

This brings back so many mamories. I went to the institute in 2008 for the 6 week program as many of the people who have posted. It was such a great place. I loved the teachers, the karaoke lounge, the view, the walks to Book-off (I guess that many of us have plenty of stuff from that same bookstore)

It’s funny that you use the Kanji Jiten for the NDS… I bought it there after seeing that all my classmates were buying extremely expensive denshi jisho. If i ever get the MEXT scholarship, I’mj definitely going back to Rinku Town.

I agree… Osaka would be #1 on my list. Having lived in Kobe, I realized that there really is no place like Osaka for convenience, cheap food, and entertainment.

Haha… Actually it’s been a month since I came back from the Kokusai Center. ;) Man… it was so much fun T_T Made so many memories there. I had a blast at the book-off… And I made some trips to Denden town and splurged my money on the 10 yen manga at A-Too XD I worried about how to bring all my stuff back, actually. Thanks for your pre-trip tips! I kinda knew what to expect there already. ^_^ Now I’ll join you with wanting to go back. :)

Aaah, games, they’ve taken so much of my precious lifetime already. I wonder if I’ll get a bonusgame when I die =P

You’ll be able to request for the LAN cable at the Center’s 受付 (uketsuke) after filling the application for room internet =)

Thanks :) I’m not much into “moe-style,” though… ’cause I’m a girl. ^_^ (Well, sure some girls like it, but not me) Where are those stores at, by the way?

You can find plenty of manga, especially if you’re into Moe style. Most of it’s going to be new, though. Try Melon Books (you can’t miss it – it’s HUGE) or K-Books (they do carry some used manga sets, though it’s heavily moe-oriented), and they’ve got a huge Animate store (major anime goods chain), packed with all kinds of manga there, too. :)

Might be pricy to trek out from where you’ll be, but Geektown’s always a lot of fun – I’d say it would be worth the money spent to visit!

Have fun in Osaka!!!

Sadly, I don’t have a DS. I might have to put up with EDICT on my phone without a touch screen, then… At least I have a dictionary… (I’ll just have problems identifying unfamiliar kanji) May I ask where I can request for the LAN?
