用铅笔的文化
在马来西亚的时候，日本人都在用铅笔或笔芯笔。来到了日本，就理做当然地用铅笔来书写。
怎么知道，实验室的学长却说：“实验室里有好几个规则是你必须遵守的。就好像说，现在你用着的铅笔，在实验室是被禁止使用的。”当时听了，真的吓傻了。日本人不是都用铅笔的吗？印象中，好像还是日本人发明了笔芯笔的。铅笔上的橡皮檫，也好像是日本人改进的。
结果，再观察四周的人，他们都好像都在用圆珠笔！
中学的时候，老师说过，除了图表等绘画用途，书写都得使用圆珠笔。心想：“可能在日本也是这么样吧。”
于是，再问了一下，得到了更惊人的答案--所有的东西，无论书写或制图，都用圆珠笔！
大概，这可能和实验室是理科实验室的关系，教授要学生们减少出新的错误，而让学生们用圆珠笔吧。再打听，却得到不同的结论：为了避免使用笔芯笔时，笔心弹出，而卡在键盘当中，所以禁止使用。同样的道理，用橡皮檫的橡皮屑也会粘在键盘。所以就禁止了铅笔的使用。
那，我日文功课要用铅笔书写，要怎么办？看来只有回到宿舍才可以做日文练习了。

My Many First Times (Part 1)
So, finally on 1 October 2009, 10.55pm, I stepped onto the plane, JL724 which will bring me from Kuala Lumpur to Tokyo in Japan. At 7.04am, I arrived the Narita International Airport.
On the plane, I was mistaken as Japanese, and not given the cards of declaration and embarkation, which are needed to be filled in by foreigners. Even the air-stewardess spoke Japanese to me. I was terribly sorry, but I spoke English to them in the end.
It was my first time taking plane overseas, and my first time travelling overseas.
On the plane, I saw for the first time, sun rise in the plane.
Next, it is the first time I passed through the customs at Narita International Airport, which took me less than 15 minutes in all to pass through all procedures. Quite efficient of them.
Going on, I took the bus ride from the airport to the town of my university, Tsukuba City. Well, the way of Japanese managing bus luggages are quite different from Malaysian. They tag your luggages, and give you numbers, and they limit the luggage in their baggage storage. Instead of that, you will have to bring all your luggages which cannot be put into the storage right onto the bus.
