I also visited onsen for the first time. It was almost the same as sento, (bath house), but they also had hot bath outside. It was really relaxing. The place was quite big. They had rooms just for relaxing with comfortable chairs and you could watch TV. Sadly we didn't have much time to try them. 

Today's Monday and we have only two weeks before we need to return home. It's upsetting but I kind of miss Finland. It's nice to go home after two months. But I am sure I'll return to Japan in some day.

Week has passed really quickly. The food has been great, people are friendly and everything looks beautiful to me. I am always amazed of the tall buildings that could not be seen in Finland. Everything will look so tiny when I'll be back home.

But not talking about that just yet. I have visited different restaurant to test all kind of food. I also have bought so many different sweets, that it's way too unhealthy. But I am a curious person and even if it's my first week and I still have 7 left, I feel like I need to test everything as soon as possible.

Talking about testing, I bought my first candy, that you make by yourself. It was an failure. I also tested this photo booth in Akihabara, where you go in, take cute pictures and then edit them before printing out. I was testing it alone and I felt like I stuck out like a sore thumb since these photo booths are usually used in groups. I still decided to try but I ended up wasting my money because I didn't know how to use it. I couldn't find the place where I edit the pictures and then print them. Well better luck next time.

Travelling with subway and train doesn't feel so scary anymore and I am getting better and better at it. I mean I traveled from Akihabara to my place all by myself! And I got to right trains at first try.

In Akihabara, we visited different anime shops. It was otaku's paradise. Figures, comics, games. They had it all. The vending machines are neat too! And they are located everywhere. Not only in Akihabara and the toys might be from popular anime like Sailor moon. You could find them in front of a local store too.

I've been in Japan for two days and it has been great and also kind of scary at the same time. I've been scared of being that 'rude foreign person who doesn't know to behave', but I shouldn't. Everyone here is really nice and very helpfull.

The people from our workplace came to pick us up from the airport and took us to an office so we could check in and get keys to our appartment. This took almost an hour! I am so grateful how patient they were with us. After that they showed us some places and then to eat. And what did we eat? Ramen. It was delicious and there was a lot to eat so I felt kind of ashamed for not managing to eat the whole plate. The people from work also helped us to get a new simc ard and metro card. With the metro card we are able to travel as much as we want for a month. Of course this is just for the area we live in but it's super handy and I recommend everyone who's coming to Japan for a while to buy.

We settled in to our appartment, ate and headed to bed. it had been a long flight and our first work day was ahead. And I sure did sleep well.

The next day we started our first work day, and also used train for a first time. It was kind od difficult to see what trains we needed to use but luckily people helped when we asked.

At the work we talked about the basic things and it was quite normal. We settled in and prepared ourselves for the next day when we start to study how they work there, what they do and why.

The two days had been stressful but fun. Can't wait what's next.
