Continued with our orientation today (more rules, regulations and information on how to register for modules) in school after spending the morning trying to find out as much as we could about cellphone plans, having a ramen lunch before buying my cellphone at Bic Camera. Since the process was so frustrating (with so many terms and different charges for different plans), I got one along with two of my Korean dorm mates who could speak better Japanese.
Some pics from Asakusa and the Imperial Palace Gardens taken the other day with my dorm mates, Chika and her friend:

The cherry blossoms have started to fall, signalling an end to the very short-lived sakura viewing period. Wish it lasted longer.
