For the US, it was Hurricane Irene. For Japan, it's Typhoon #12.
Cabin fever is the air in Seminar House 1. Today, the Kansai area was expecting heavy rain and winds as a result of typhoon #12 and we've all been advised to stay inside until the storm warnings are lifted. Unfortunately, this menace also cancelled the Kyoto tour that was scheduled as part of Orientation Week at Kansai Gaidai, so the international students have been virtually imprisoned inside of the Seminar Houses (the homestays haven't moved out yet) for the past two days.
But a college is still a college, even in Japan. Our RAs rented a few movies for the evenings in the lounge and one of the US students helped us pass the afternoon by teaching everyone basic steps in swing dance. Natsuki-san and Mirai-san honestly stole the show with their style of swing dancing.
And in one last note, Bennington's own Andrea Metivier gave an exemplary breakout performance in this summer's smash hit "Welcome to Kansai Gaidai."
