I think anyone who's hopefully clinging to the dregs of summer can let go now....over the last week, I have been so cold. My fingers and the tip of my nose feel like ice.... I've been sitting with a blanket and using the laptop to warm myself up... I know I was dreading the hot, hot weather in Japan, but I'm sort of looking forward to being able to

Sooo lucky!! Obirin offer Jasso, but all they said to me was "There are only a few people selected" so I guess I just wasn't chosen! I've spent today budgeting, and it's not such a dire situation. Though I worked out that I'll be left with approx. £30 per week for shopping/food/travel. Guess I'll just have to save up if I plan any big trips ;D Good luck with your packing!

Don't I know it, and I really do feel lucky; I was originally told no JASSO.

You can live fairly well on your loan if you're sensible. Additionally, go to your international office soon after arriving and quiz them over all available funding. There might be extra help available! And you could get part-time work doing English?
You're leaving tomorrow, right?? Come visit me if you get a chance this year :) And I'll definitely see you over winter if you're in Tokyo!! I'm staying at Otoha's.

Awesome, that's great news :D

And, my advice? Blutack. The stuff doesn't exist in Japan. At all. XD

Also, hand luggage is your friend because they don't tend to weigh it, so you can stuff it full of all your books and othe heavy things when you find your main bag is over the limit for the flight.

Can't think of anything else right now...

Thanks :)

Haha, I never looked last time, but I'll take your word on it and add it to my list!

Ah, you see I'm not sure on that one :/ They didn't weigh it when I flew to China, but on the way back they did :( I have 10kg though, so I think I'll be okay :)

Yaaaaaay! That's so brilliant! I'm really pleased for you!
