May 21st: OMU, Dinner, Hockey

 



As per usual every morning I wake up and start to get ready to make our way to campus. As usual my roommate and I headed to the train station, walked to our usual platform, and boarded the first train that arrived. However, today, in our morning haze, we failed to notice the train's route display. Instead of boarding the train bound for Nakamozu, which would take us directly to campus, we ended up on a train that only goes until station M26 four stops short of our destination at M30. Once at M26 we got off the train and waited for the next one that was headed to Nakamozu, once the train arrived we hoped in and we were on our way. 

For class time it was no different than normal days. We started with COM 221, we work on Some class activities as also our proposal for our second assignment. After COM 221 we went to get lunch I don't remember the name of what I had but it tasted very similar to Pechuga a la Milanesa(Chicken Milanese).

 



After lunch me went back to take our SS 314 class, this time we had a presentation from the Satellite Department where they talk about the SSSRC(Small Spacecraft System Research Center), we learned a little about what they do and what they are currently working on. They had some pretty good activities, one of them was to create a presentation on how we can solve issues that the world needs to get solved. 



Once this presentation was done we move onto our next activity witch was doing some Japanese calligraphy, in this activity we had our OMU buddy's join and do the activity with us and help guide us on the process of how to do the calligraphy. I learn how to write Puerto Rico in Hiragana since it was more simpler than doing it on Kanji. 

Now that all the OMU activities have come to an end we had to rush to get to the station because our OMU buddy made a reservation for us at a restaurant to get dinner and the place was near Namba station and we where a little short on time( we got there 15 minutes after our reservation :) ). We arrived at Ikkaku Shinsaibashi and Sayu (Our OMU Buddy) order for us since she wanted that we tried everything, especially the chicken since it's the restaurant main dish. All I gotta say for this is that the food here was delicious, I'm definitely returning to get more chicken. Sayu invited us to OMU hockey game, so once we finish eating we started walking to the ice ring since the game was about 15 minutes away from the restaurant and 5 minutes from our hotel. We did a little stop by Dotombori.




We got to the hockey game where OMU was playing against Momoyama, and of course OMU was home team. The game started at 9pm and by 10:20pm it was over. The final score was 8-0! OMU won!!!

May 13th: First day at OMU

  May 13 th , with the first day down at Osaka Metropolitan University lets recap what we did from my perspective. The day started at 8:50 am leaving our lodging (the Fraser Residence Inn Nankai) and traveled on the Namba metro system officially for the first time (as a group.) I found navigating the metro stations interesting as you only need to scan a card or insert a ticket and get to your platform while dodging the sea of people heading in the opposite direction; in America people don’t really use the same type of train systems as they do in Japan besides big cities like New York.   As we reached OMU and entered our new reality, the group got ushered into a classroom and started our introduction with the professors and students. After the OMU faculty got to know us, we left to another classroom to begin our first lecture SS314. This first lecture we were introduced to our month long project the Kikocho. After the class we got to eat lunch at the university. Later in the day we sta
