It’s been nearly a month since my semester of exchange began and I am finally able to blog! Lack of internet made it difficult for me to sit down and document my experiences but now that things are finally settling down, I can properly collect my thoughts and share it with you all.

Unfortunately, so much has happened in the past few weeks that I don’t really know where to begin! So, over the next few days I will put up several posts split into three categories: International Residence, Kobe University and Life in Kobe to make things a little easier for me.

All I can say right now is that I am having an amazing time and I’m cherishing every moment. I’m always excited about what the day may bring (and believe me, days have brought weird/wacky/crazy/amazing things already!) and I’m happy to be sharing it with my new exchange friends who come from all over the world.

But right now I’m off to bed as I have a rather large hike up a mountain tomorrow… (more about why later…).
