Pre-Summer Internship in Tokyo - Day 6

I visited a friend of mine from Waseda Business School who will be going to CEIBS for exchange also. I went to Waseda University to meet him. Wow, the university is nice!!!! It reminded me of Tokyo University... Very cozy, friendly, clean.. ^_^ A very typical Japanese university. ^_^

It was to my surprise that my friend is about same age as me (only 10 days different). ^_^ Hm... how do I describe him?

1. Of course 100% Japanese.

2. Very hardworking.
He finishes two-year Waseda MBA curriculum in one year. He is taking 13 subjects this semester. Apart from that, he has arubaito.. I am wondering how he can survive and juggle with all these things... Sugoi ne!!!

3. Friendly - we can chit chat for almost 3 hrs. We met at 12.30 and I left there at 3.30pm..... Lots of things to talk ^_^

Oh yeah... Before I went to Waseda, I went to Roppongi to collect my China visa. I was stopped by two policemen, asking me to show my ID.. I was quite surprised.. What was wrong? Later, I found out that in the train, there was a notice saying that police was on high alert. There may be some fugitives... Something like that.. It was written in Japanese. I just guessed the meaning... And, why Roppongi and not other stations??? Later, I also found out that Roppongi is the place where almost all the foreign embassies are located. Something must have happened. I can't be bothered to find out more, because I couldn't understand the notice.. ^_^

Anyway, another impression of Tokyo living style... The transportation is "damn expensive". I spent around 1500 yen today just for transportation.. That is equivalent to Rp, 150.000 (SGD 22) just for train transportation... My gosh!!!!! I can go bankrupt if I go on like this..... Tomorrow, I have decided to stay in my room the whole day, do my freelance and prepare for my internship ...

Oh gosh, I just realised that I haven't visited the internship company yet... I need to find out how to reach there, so that on my first day, I don't need to worry about the direction... Alamak.. I should have done that this afternoon on the way back....

Maybe, I will do it on Sunday or Saturday...
