Living in Tokyo

So hello guys, i wanted to make a post for all you guys who likes to read.

As you know i am living my life longer time captivated by japanese culture. And for me i knew i will go one day there. I didn't know it will happen so fastly, so last year i got Scolarship and i entered Chuo University. I was very happy back there,now i just can't realize still that I am actually living here not just visitning.

So you may ask now: Akira you in Japan?!
I am here yes.

My apartment is in Nagayama so it is kinda country side. Actually when i first got to Nagayama i said "Omg,this is like Zagreb,i am wondering how the center of Tokyo looks like then"
So i could tell it is very amazing to be here,altough i didn't travel trough tokyo a lot. The place where i live is very calm, and i am really thankful to that.

First time when you visit another culture you can experience culture shock but it just depends on person how. First i was sleeping 2 days very bad because of time difference of 7hours. FIrst week i was super tired,but in same time very energetic and excited. Then i couldn't manage with my self why everywhere is so many people,
 Kanji characters are giving me a headache everyday ,so sometimes i dont know what i am buying.
Wifi here is immposible thing, and i hate that thing about Japan the most.
American food like Mcdonalds,KFC,Starbucks are here really expensive. But they provide you wifi

As for living here , their shops arent so expensive,it's kinda same as in Croatia sometimes it is cheaper so i was very surprised. For examples they have bananas for 95yen(u get them 5 i think for that price) which is less than 5kn. I will inform you about food one day.
 But clubbing and going to bars is expensive.
In croatia we always go to coffee bars,but here is that expensive thing to do every day,so until now i sticked only to shops like Seiyuu ,Family mart,Lawson. And i gather with my friends in rooms. We buy six pack beer for 456yen and drink and eat,together.

They have tabehoudai-eat as all you want and it is usually about 2000yen which is kinda expensive if you cant eat so much,but if you can drink i think it is worth the money :D (i am going to do it next week probably )

As for studying in Japan, Chuo University is so big that you cannot imagine . And buildings are so high so sometimes i late to my classes and run into sweaty. And so many students like thousands of them.I am taking Japanese language and Japanese studies literature and culture. In chuo they have so many caffeterias, So in lunch time break which is from 12.30 those things has big lines. They have ATM's also ,and a COOP it is like store where you can buy everything, i mean really everything . from food to beauty products,books , clothes etc.
I think Chuo is functioning like a little city, is better then my place where i live  in croatia.
I don't want to mention the scenery how beautiful it is.









Review:SHINJUKU,HARAJUKU,SHIBUYA

So after 23 days i had visit with my friend KangWon Shinjuku,Harajuku,Shibuya. Thanks to him i had so much fun.Accidentaly, First i saw Kabukicho ( those who are following me from before knows what kabukicho meant to me) It is the Host club heaven. Next time i'll visit it at night so i can truly experience the Kabukicho. Then we went all around and  we unfortunately didnt stop anywhere because we started from home from i think 2pm so it was no time.
We walked all trough Shibuya(we walked until 21h i guess) so we went trough big park where was Meji Jingu so i saw it too. The exit from park leaded to Harajuku bridge. And really guys Harajuku bridge is really small haha. I haven't
seen people i wanted maybe it was too late idk. Then we walked trough according to my friend trough omotesando,which is full of very expensive brand shops as Chanel,Dior etc... We started to feel hungry so we walked trough the streets to find something to eat and in the end we went to Family Mart and bought some dishes and sweets . And finnally we had a quick rest from walking.
I wanted to go to the well known Don Quijote ,but it was in Shibuya and then i begged KangWon to take me there,and he finnaly said OKAY. That was the most great part because we followed the google maps at night,and i think Tokyo at night is very special. I felt so good because it felt like i am visiting a city in Croatian sea coast(but ofcourse so much bigger and better) Tough we thought we are lost sometimes it was very fun that we started that adventure and finnaly we reached Shibuya. First i saw that is so crowdy and i stick to the friend to not lose him somehow in this crowd because i dont have mobile data yet and i really feel i could be completly lost .
,I can't describe how much people is passing there . So many fashionable people i saw. It was Saturday night so i guess people were going to visit clubs. After visiting Donki we went to the biggest crossroad and there i was so happy because really i realized my dream came true. It kinda felt like i am at the top on the world and if i die tommorow i wouldn't regret a thing.  I filmed everything so if you didn't you can check it out. Unfortunately my battery was dead in harajuku ,so :(

Next time i am going to visit Akihabara and Asakusa i hope so .


I am very busy here but i will try to inform you about everything. I know maybe some of you want to go visit tokyo so i hope i can help with those posts i'll post in future.
Many of you want to find the cheapest way ,and i am one of you guys too.
If you want to know something precise please let me know !

Until next time !
