In my third day, I shoud go to the city hall and post office. I made an appointment with Kelly, a Korean friend of mine. That she also brought many people join us to go there. So I had another friend from Korea and Taiwan.
I didn't take a lot of picture because I think I dont need to. So we went to the City Hall by passing the Senriminami Park and find it next to the Garden Mall. The city hall is in the 1st floor. Kelly helped me a lot communicating with the officer and told me what should I do. Please put in mind if you're going for an exchange in Japan remember your name in Katakana because there are so many forms you need to fill with your name. I gave the officer my residence card and they stamp it on the back side. It didn't take a long time here.
And then we went to the post office to make a bank account. We met the officer who helped us yesterday so she quickly came to us and told us what to do. She said we must wait until 1 PM so we can get our bank book. We're all kind of hungry so we need to eat somewhere. But near the post office there was a Soba/Udon restaurant. I told Kelly that I can't eat any meat but seafood is okay for me. So I chose Soba tempura and onigiri, quite a lot and cost me a lot too about 560 yen. Bismillah, I wish it's halal for me.
After that we walk around the garden mall to wait. And we came back to the post office at 1 PM to get our book. My book is cute because I choose the kawaii one hahahha. Then we came back to the dorm.
I was so bored in the room. Then I decided to find any interesting place and I thought I'd like to go finding the Banpaku park. I asked Kelly to join me and I also asked Chloe (we met at the stairs). As I only know it from the maps I didn't know what will happen next. So we walked outside the dorm and took a walk.
After a long walk we haven't got to the park yet. Oh my god we need to ask somebody! Then Kelly asked an old lady wearing a polo shirt with the banpaku statue on her shirt. She said it's not that far. But we walked too far as we came to the Osaka University Suita campus. HAHAHAHA.
And it's dark already so we decided to come home and found a big maps that told Banpaku Park is closed at 4 PM. And we passed the entrance as we walk too further. It is because wa can't understand everything they told us in Japan word.
So we just headed to back to the dorm. And I had to make sure I should come back to this park again. After that we gathered at the lounge with the dorm manager and gave him our bank account number so that our account will be automatically cut for the dormitory fee.
After that we realize that it's the nigh sale time. I and Kelly went to the Dew Mall in Yamada station to find some shops and something for dinner. Did you know that I bought another sushi to be eaten? I ate sushi in 3 days in a row. So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?
Dew Mall is also not that big. How could I say so? It's exterior is not that as luxurious as I imagine. Even Jakarta's mall is more luxurious than in here. But it's near to the station. I guess so that people don't need to specifically go out to the malls and just stop by after work or so.
Then, see you again tomorrow!
