Okay, time to get back to writing......
Since I last wrote, I have finally moved into the place I will be spending my year in Japan in the beautiful city of Sendai, the City of Trees (杜の都).
I have spent two weeks here now, and I have to say that I am enjoying myself quite a bit. I am in an international house of Tohoku University, meeting many students from around the world, and we regularly enjoy the town which is only 15 minutes away by bicycle (that is right, I said bicycle).
Not trying to sound biased, but Sendai has many qualities that I was looking for in a place to settle. Downtown Sendai is a bustling city with many shops and just as many beautiful parks that regularly hold events, while the residential areas surrounding Sendai are close and quiet. Along with the modern conveniences of a developed nation, there are also many temples and historic places connecting this city to the past, including Aoba Castle, countless temples, and the mausoleum of the famous Date Masamune.
Alright, I currently love living in Sendai right now, though I do not know if I want to live here for the rest of my life, that is a decision I will have to make after a year of studies and research here. Nonetheless, I feel that I am maximizing my experience here hope that I will continue to create new experiences that will allow me to grow as an engineer, a geek, and as an individual.
Time to get to posting pictures and vlogs!!!!
