So the highlight of the day was going to Ohtsukakanon (a place in Nagoya-city) to buy a new TV. Well I didn’t want to buy a “new” tv just something to play Nintendo Wii on and watch news at night. I was also thinking about buying a computer monitor as well. Well in good ‘ol Japanland they have both. I bought a new tv that can work as a computer monitor. It cost 16800 yen (~$150) used. I am very happy because it’s just the right size and pretty stylish.
My new tv that also doubles as a computer monitor. Nintendo Wii also shown.
Along with buying a tv, I also bought Japanese books to study. I decided to take the JLPT-Japanese language proficiency test in December. There are four levels and I’m going for the highest one. The passing rate is about 30%, but this gives me something to work for.
I also started working in the biochemistry lab today. It was pretty fun. I got to play with E.coli. I didn’t do much but I got to see the Japanese work ethic in action. Everyone is so busy in there. Most people come to the lab around 10 and then leave around midnight, some people stay longer. I come to the lab around 8 or 9 and then leave around 5. But I’m sure things will get busier as I learn more.
Everyone is really nice in the lab and we have fun talking in Japanese and English. I’m starting to like it here already!
The NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) machine. In the BYU chemistry department I only learned about NMR in textbooks, but now I actually get to play with the instrument.
