Opening Ceremony

---

Very nice opening ceremony. I don't know why it was one week before classes started. There are about 300 students in this year's SILS class, half of which are the 1 year study abroad students. The dean spoke to us about stuff that dean talk about. Oddly enough he is a very tall British man from Cambridge. Because of that he said nothing using many many words. The best part was the Wase-Oke, short for Waseda Symphony Orchestra. There were about 40 of them at the ceremony playing at the beginning and end. In total, there are 300 members. I want to look into that.

Another example of brutal Tokyo efficiency...at diner-type restaurants, each table has a button. You press it and your waiter comes. Imagine one of those at Yogi's...
