Aaah! I don't believe it's been two months since my last post! I wasn't supposed to take a break! I actually have a whole bunch of half written draft posts, but todays topic is something I have really wanted to post about for a while anyway, so I thought I might as well.
As I have mentioned before, I plan to go to Japan next summer for a month long summer school, so that I can be certain that I can cope by myself in Japan before I go there for an entire year!
Well, I've known for a while where I shall hopefully be going, and that is Yokohama Design School, as they are also a language school! And so in anticipation (which is funny really as I haven't even got a place yet or anything) I have been conducting research about Yokohama and the surrounding areas. The city itself lies on Tokyo Bay, almost directly south of Tokyo, in the KantÅ region of the main island of Honshu. It was Japan's original international port and I think it is the perfect place for me as I have always grow up and lived by the sea. It is an hour and 20 minutes away from the centre of Tokyo, and has a beautiful big wheel and lighthouse, I kind of want to compare it to Plymouth but I know it is much bigger!
I want to make a much more informative post on Yokohama and the design school at some point, but for now this is it!
Til next time! (Which hopefully won't be so long this time!)
