First of all... I went to Yoyogi Park today, and it's beautiful. It's the nicest place I've been since I got here, and it's probably one of my favorite places in the entire world. I have to go to bed or I'd write more, and the pictures are being processed as we speak, er, type.
To answer the question about Meikai and Kanda, yes, they are two separate schools and I do have classes in both of them. I have Marketing in Meikai and my Pop Culture Course / History of Tokyo / Japanese at Kanda.
Lastly, I actually placed into Japanese 300, a class that has students that have an equivilent of 2 years college study, which is less than I have so I hope I can handle it. I can always move down should I need to, but for now I'm going to give this level a shot.
Well, gotta go to bed. Pictures of Yoyogi are here [but they aren't quite working and I haven't added any comments, so if you wait a bit maybe then they'll work fine] :

Good job with the placement exam. I'd probably embarrass myself trying to converse with you. Yoyogi Koen is beautiful. You will find more such places when you get outside the city but it's nice to find these places IN the city. I forget the name of the park but it's a large one with lakes and streams and lots of koi and it's in Kichijoji - about 8 stops or so from Tokyo Station on the Chuo line.
Congrats on the placement - I'm sure you'll handle it - nice to be able to go out and just practice what you've learned!!

Hi, Damian.. in looking at your photos, the grounds look like ours here in florida, the palms, the live oaks, the undergrowth , beautiful.. we have the citrus trees blooming here now, very pungent flower smell. sweet. now was that chocolate good? it looked like white chocolate? that water fountain, at that park, looks like the geyser that we saw at Yellow stone national park .. it only stayed high like that though for about 20 minutes.. those pastries looked very good. have you tried any of that kind of stuff? so, school is all organized. japanese 300, sounds real good to us.. Congrats... enjoy everything to the fullest, just like you are doing.. love, Gram & Papa
Hi Mr D
Too bad your pictures fouled up on Facebook. However, they were great. That park is something! I bet you never wanted to leave. I know we'd stay till they kicked us out Ha Ha.
Great about your placement exam: I'm sure you can handle it, though. Don't worry
Thanks for clearing up the Kanda- Meikai confusion. Sure you'll be busy with the classes at both. Good luck with them.
Take care
