Cellphone and fluff

I've now started to get settled in the land of the rising sun. I've been going to language school for one whole week now and as long as it doesn't get any harder I think it will be just fine. I'm in a now very high level class but the speed of the class suits me. Every part of the class is in japanese so very good practicing for listening comprehension. I understand for the most part everything the teacher says, but I can't yet keep up with normal speed of japanese people. The lessons here is not what I'm used to compared to the lessons in sweden. Here we draw kanji after our sensei showed us the stroke order, and we have shadowing where the teacher reads a text and then we read it direct afterwards everyone at the same time.. (and everyone reads in different paces so it sounds horrible).

I've also managed to get myself a cellphone, a Softbank prepaid phone. I had checked up Softbanks english homepage and had seen they had alot of diffrent cellphones and also noticed that they only had two on their online-shop. So when I went to the first Softbank store with english speaking personal in Ginza, there they did not have any prepaid phones in stock so I quickly left and went for Harajuku. In Harajuku they had one phone in store, but they did not know anything about other phones as they were not in stock. Neither could they see if other stores had phones in stock. So I left that store too and went to Akihabara. There I went to a random huge store with Softbank counter and there they claimed to knew that it only existed to phones for prepaidplan. I belived them and bought a phone from them.

To buy the phone was a long process where I had to show them my passport, my registration card, give them a phone number (which I did not have but found on the internet for the school). I also picked the 4  final numbers on my phonenumber, and also got to pick my email-adress for the phone. Offcourse the personel here was none-english speaking but it worked out fine using my japanese skills. Only part that I could not understand and had to get an english speaking person for me to understand was a problem with my name. My name consists of family name, 2 middle names and one first name, ofcourse the computer system only allowed 3 names and I could not remove one name, that was impossible.. but we solved it. So now I'm a happy owner of a 携帯 (without å ä ö.. ).
