よろしくおねがいします

こんいちは、みんなさん~
Welcome to my blog! I hope you all had a good summer holiday. I've been in Japan for two weeks now and it's really fun! とてもたのしいですよ。
Remember we talked about what sort of thing you'd all like to know about Japan? Well, hopefully I'll write something that will interest everyone. This week, though, I thought I'd just tell you a little about arriving here in Kyoto.

I'm living in a dormitory (寮りょう) and this is the view:


どうおもいますか。わたしは好きです^.^

りょうのちかくにはえきがあります。

 The trains are actually trams, and they're really fun to ride. This area is very pretty, and apparently in the spring the cherry trees blossom and tourists come expecially to ride the tram - you can see why:

Sticking with the cherry blossom (さくら) theme, this is a local bus we saw in the city centre, きれいですね:

The other way I've been getting around is by bike. よくじてんしゃでいきます。The dormitory rented me one so it was also super cheap ^^ Everyone in Japan seems to have a bicyle, so I'll do a post just about them another time, but first, here's mine (だいすきです ^.^)

I hope you're all enjoying the first few weeks at school! Stay tuned next time for a post about food in Japan!
こんどは、たべものについて書こうとおもいます。

よんでくれて、ありがとうございます。
