Welcome Rodney

はじめまして
As the newest member of the Seiritsu Gakuen High School International Department I thought I should dedicate my first blog post to introducing myself. Like any good introduction, I'll you about myself. My name is Rodney James Bayliss and I have flown from my beautiful home town Perth, Australia to become Seiritsu`s newest member. Also to experience life and travel throughout Tokyo.
My usual high school day involves me waking up at the crack of dawn in the freezing Japanese winter weather. I walk to my bus which leaves at 7.03am, then arrive at the train station and pack in like a sardine into the train. I usually get to school just before 8.30am. School is really great, and I have already made a few pals really quickly, plus the students at Seiritsu treat me really well despite my lack of knowledge about the Japanese language. However, I am trying my best to learn more and more each day.
The holidays are coming up soon and that`s when the traveling will begin. I hope to go all throughout the greater Tokyo area and see and experience as much as I can. My time here in this amazing city is short so I hope to make the most of it!
