Hey I was just in Tokyo yesterday and I have to agree that the weather was fantastic. I just felt bad for the many Japanese who had to wear winter uniforms for school and work regardless of the weather....
Oh yeah and the weather has been like that here in TN. All this week it's been really nice and warm but I believe it's supposed to get cold again next week. :(
Hey Rodger! I've not commented for a while but I'm still watching!
I've recently booked a world trip and am stopping in Tokyo! Only staying in Japan for two weeks, but hoping to see a lot of stuff. I was wondering if you can recommend anything? Might even stop by Keio for a little look, haha.
hey swan, you think you can help me get into Kaio, i know you are busy, but information, more than you have previously given would be good, like what the applicaiton process is like, or the registration, or what ever.
Ahh I used to hang out at Keio during June & July 2006 coz a friend of mine I was visiting was an exchange student there! Thanks for sharing! 懐かしいね~ (^▽^)♥
Swan, you shouldn't move back to Michigan after your stint in Japan. What a waste that would be! It would be so great to see you document life in a city...e.g. Chicago, New York, San Francisco, DC, Austin, etc!
Hmm...its not that different from US College. Well besides the vending machines there's only a pop in my school. Oh and those desk!! There way to close for me....I probably would have killed some one being that close! I really wish I had weather like that!! It's flipping -30 (No joke). Oh! Does anyone know how to spell his friends name? Kasuke? Kaisuke? ...? (Ya I suck at spelling)
How long did you study Japanese before you decided to come to Japan? I want to just wing it and go to Japan with my limited knowledge of the language, but that's probably a bad idea. =_=
I was just asking myself when is iwate sawn is gana be back on i think of you as a tv show wich makes my day :] thank you! So glad your back :D ~Fabio
Absolutely! I agree, you're such a cool, friendly, cheerful, affable guy. You look like youre truly having a great time, whether its going to a store to buy Xmas presents, going to a school festival or chillin with old friends from your college days.
Dude Roger I have been watching your videos for over a year now, and I have to say you seem like such a pleasant person, your attitude toward life is so refreshing. Keep making great videos.
Yoroshiku Swan! Glad you're back. Always great to take a walk down memory lane. The Keio campus looks much the same as any university... except for the ubiquitous vending machines! AARGHH!!! What is it with Japan's fascination for those contraptions? haha ^_^
WELCOME BACK SWAN!!! I missed ur vids so much! I look forward to all ur vids. Question; When you were a foreign exchange student at Keio how long where u there? A year or less? Keep up with the amazing vids!!
How I miss you so much!! I almost did a little tear when you went into the Coop. I was so skint at the end of our year there that I couldn't buy 4 million Keio goods! But when I'm back you know my first stop is going to be buying stuff that shows off that I went to Keio :D
You can tell you were so happy to be back in Tokyo, Rodg XD Can't wait to see Shibuya and Akiba again. Hope you're having a lovely 2010 out there, I'll see you again in 2 months! x
I know that this is Japan, but a lot of US universities are like that as well. You can just drive onto the campus and hang out if you want, go the the library, canteen, etc, even if you're not from the school. Some places may require a school ID though.
I love you Rodger Swan, you had such impact on so many people. You made people happy by just being who you are.
