Today I bought a samsung galaxy 4S!! I had to pay 318, and from now on 60 each month. I can use Internet and it's so great gadget!!! I love it. Maybe it's better than iPhone! Later I met Swiss guy and Korean guy at shopping mall coz its Black Friday. I was able to buy a backpack and clothes at good price! We had dinner and talked about differences of our countries. My image of black Friday was totally different. Especially when I went to discounted supermarket, not so much discount at all and people are more relaxed. Maybe products there were already cheap enough and also I was too late coz I arrived around 10:30. Some shops were open at 5am. But at a bit fancy shop, there were more discount. so only expensive items were discounted. I'm so satisfied but recently im not home at all that I really have to do homework and laundry. 最近はいつもイタリア人女性の友達カロライナにPacific Beachまで会いに行っているのであまり家にいません。今日はブラックフライデーといって年で一番のセールの日なのでスイス人男性、韓国人男性の友達とショッピングモールに行きました。 さらに今日はスマホを買ってしまいまし

Today I went to UCSD by bus by myself. Wow that's was a little complicated coz on Saturday the bus won't go inside campus. So I had to get off at UTC shipping center and then asked someone who I suddenly spot as student how to get UCSD. I found out that I had to take another bus and it costed me 9 dollars to go and back! Anyway, when I finally found my extension building, I was kind of disappointed coz the building just look like temporary shack. There's clear distinction between university student and extension student. But still it's better than just English school.  For lunch I had pita gyro Greek food. I love Greek food and I was so happy tone able to find everything! Some guy asked me the location of some building but do I look like locals? I was taking picture of myself and around me a lot, enjoying myself. 今日は大学にバスで一人で行ってみました。土曜日だから途中のショッピングモールまでしかいかなかったので他のバスにまた乗る羽目になりました。なので往復9ドルもかかりました。学生証ができたら乗り放題ななるのでもうちょっとです。ショッピングモールでも歩いていけないかさまよっていたし、大学でもけっこう迷いました。

Today I went to supermarket again. I was a bit depressed in the morning coz I felt alone at home. I wish school starts soon. But I think this is also good way to look outside for friends. Around noon I got myself outside, seeing host father brought a guest for lunch. While walking, I began to feel ok. I went to Vons, Kohl's and tried a pair of jeans for kids!!! I think adult woman size is too big for me especially around hip. But I just found out that the one I really like was running out of stock. Then, I went to Five Guys. I like that restaurant! I can have free toppings as I wish and the guy there was also kind to recommend me the nice combination with BBQ sauce. But what's more, I liked the way people in the kitchen shouting like Hell's Kitchen. So passionate!   Then my host father picked me up to bring me to the university. Actually, he called me when I finished placing an order so I made him waiting, but I was able to try using mobile! He was so kind to

 Today I went to shopping mall nearby house. 今日は家の近くのショッピングモールに行きました。 I got SIM card at T-mobile shop. The guy there was nice. Its interesting that they ask my name at purchase. I guess it has a good effect on nurturing relationship with customers. Then, I went Marshalls, recommended by Joe about reasonable clothing. San Diego get quite cold in the night, so I needed to buy some other heavy clothes. I found a cute gown at 20 bucks!     I also went Target to buy photo frame.In the end, I walked for about 4 hours searching for the best deals. I had nice tacos for lunch but it costed $11. It was a bit expensive. I was surprised that people in their cars let me cross the street first. They are quite sweet and also people sometimes greet me on the street. I got to be friendly, too.      SIMカードと$30日分のプリペイドカードをT-mobileで購入。お店の人がいい感じで(でもプレイボーイ風?)チャージするときはまた来ればやってあげるとこことです。一か月ごとの再開なんてうふふ。UCSDにいくならディスカウントもあるかもとのことだけど$50$が40になるなら$30のままでもいいわ。お店で支払をするときはなぜか名前を聞くことが多いけど親密感がでていい感じ

Arrival at San Diego

Image
I arrived at San Diego. The flight I was going to take was late for 2 hours, so I was put to the one flight before. I had only 1 hour to connect at San Fransisco , but the line for immigration was so long that I was so nervous. The airport I arrived was so modern and beautiful. 無事にサンディエゴに着きました。町がきれいで驚き。とにかくアメリカの入国審査ってすっごい並ぶからサンフランシスコでのコネクティング1時間しかなかったから超焦った。 The weather was awesome. It's dry and feels good with high pressure.  高気圧の天気が気持ちいい。 人も綺麗でハツラツとした感じの人が多い感じ。 I went to Fashion Vally. That was awesome! 留学エージェントの人にFashion Valleyっていうショッピングモールに連れて行ってもらったんだけどすっごく素敵だった。改装直後みたい。     Yesterday I learnt so many things about house rules and the way to go bus stop for UCSD. 昨日はホームステイのルールを一通りやってバス停までの道のりも教えてもらってちょっと頭がいっぱいだわ。シャワー流している時間は5分以内や使わない電源は抜くなどけっこう厳しい感じだわ。でも水が貴重なんだからしょうがないわ。
