Don't know about the photos. I just use imageshack for everything.

You mentioned it's emptier due to the disaster. And it makes sense people are scared. May I ask, were you hesitant to leave for Japan, and do you think it's safe to travel there again? (There's been a lot of talk about the radiation.)

Otherwise keep up the good work!


If I was hesitant to leave for Japan, it definitely wasn't because I was scared ^^ I wasn't worried about the disaster affecting Tokyo at all. Japan is safe to travel to (if you minus the exchange rate, holy balls) as long as you don't go to the disaster areas. The Kansai area (western part of the main island) is especially safe.

Imgur allows you to upload groups of photos as albums and link the albums individually, but from what I know, you'd have to separate them beforehand. It should be good enough for what you want.

Awesome pictures. I'm so jealous. One day, Japan, I'll be there. Too bad the sakura aren't in bloom, or you'd probably get some really pretty and beautiful pictures


Hm, are we able to write descriptions though on imgur? And don't worry, the sakura will definitely be worth the wait. ^^

The picture of the road lined with Sakura trees on both sides (third photo under the ICU plaque) reminded me of Clannad...or every other school/slice-of-life anime :D


That's exactly what I thought the first time I saw it lol.

Hi!

I registered here in TeamLiquid just to ask you some questions.

What time did your flight arrive in Narita?
How many hours will it take traveling from the airport to the dormitory in ICU?
I'm asking since I'm planning to arrive at past 1 p.m. on Sept. 1, but the dorm orientation is at 5:30 p.m. so I'm not sure if I can make it.

Thanks!


Wow. Welcome to TL!

I arrived in Narita at approximately 3:00 P.M. From Narita Airport to ICU, it takes about two and a half hours I believe, as long as you don't get lost. If you arrive at 1:00, you should be able to arrive by 5:30 easily.

What school are you coming from by the way!? If you have any questions, feel free to ask me any time!

Ever tried Picasa? you need a Google account but who doesn't have one these days?

You upload the pics to your Google's web album and it gives you the links you need to paste into forums.

It's very nice for managing albums as you can delete, change, re-arrange and re - upload, it will sync with your web albums.


That sounds nice! I'm gonna check it out. Thanks a lot. ^^

Hopefully I can give another update this weekend, but I'm gonna be at Akihabara so no promises. ^^

Hmm, I know you can put titles on all the pics, but that would look pretty tacky if you want to put a full description =/ sorry, I'm not sure.
edit: just tried it. you can add captions to all of them as well

Souma, I forgot about ICUs curfew. I don't believe it's strictly enforced, but I could be wrong, or the policy may have changed. I lived off campus, but we often stayed out late with people living in the dorms and it didn't seem to be an issue. I'm curious to know , so let me know how it goes!

Hi! Thanks for the reply
I'm from the University of the Philippines. I actually don't speak or read a single word of Japanese so I really hope I don't get lost. Maybe I'll ask you some questions in the following weeks if anything comes to mind. But I'll be following your blog so keep on posting. )

Ohh sweet, thanks! I'll compare it to Picasa to see which will work better for me. :D

The dorm I'm in was just opened this year and has really strict rules (it's infamous for it). For the summer they don't care, but I hear they crack down hard during the year, so =/

Ah, man. I think if I didn't speak Japanese it would have been hard for me to get from Narita to ICU even with the directions/guide in hand. How long will you be here and do you know what dorm you'll be in? By the time you get here it won't be very hot/humid anymore, so you're lucky!

Oh no. I think I'll just tell ICU it's possible that I can't attend the orientation, in case I get lost. Haha. I'm staying at 4WD and I'm just an exchange student so I'll be staying until June 26, 2012. Good thing summer will be over when I arrive there, though I'm used to humidity since I'm from the Philippines which is a tropical country.

Looking forward to more of your blog entries. :D
