Kansai Gaidai University

The seminarhouse is only 5 minutes away by bicycle. The location is not Osaka, but Hitakatacity which is on hour away from the city, so its like countryside! But the good thing is that its between Osaka and Kyoto which is only one hour away as well. The seminarhouse is great! The rooms are pretty small, but enough space for two desk and two bed and you share a room with a roommate. The facilities are great! There is a big shared kitchen on the first floor and seconds floor with all the necessairy things you need. There are many seperate toilets and showers and you never have to wait. Although the toilets of the guys can be very smelly!! There are two floors. The first floor is the one of the maleresidents and the second of the female residents. On the first floor there is a big loung with a comfortable couch and a big TV and a videorecorder. There is also a nice garden where people can smoke. There are vendingmachines in case you are thirsty. The best of all is the computerroom in the secondfloor which has one printer and 10 fast computers where people can email etc. The good point is that we can bring our own laptops and hook it up to their connections and the speed is fast!!! but the bad thing is that you can not let your friends sleeping over in your room and all visitors have to get out after 10.00 pm!!

Bring medication. Have fun. Travel. Don't stress to much. If you have a break down, don't worry...everyone does...several times a month.

Do a castle circuit...go see every castle within travelling distance. Learn to like sushi...you will not regret it. Meet everyone you can...the divedends are unimaginable if you make them.

The dormatory rules are rather strict- even a friend in the dormatory next door must vacate by 10 PM! Still, it was clean and quieter than expected.
