Hi everyone! So I have currently been in living in Suita shi which is a suburb of Osaka, Japan for about 3 weeks now. And I am loving it so far! It took some getting used to the culture shock not to mention the awful hot humid weather we have been getting, but its getting better now that the tempature is going down. My neighbor hood (pictured) is a small college town and the people are pretty friendly. I have heard from many people though that the people in Osaka are in general more friendly than people in other parts of Japan so keep that in mind if your trying to decide on where to study abroad in Japan ;)
