Well shit, maybe I should lay off the わ then. Also, I'm so happy I went all normalfag and full I-love-everything-japanese-related-so-much on their application form. Should boost my chances for 2 minutes from the main gate.

I'm(was) at Stockholm University, Sweden. The seniors I know who were in Nanzan last year are two Swedish girls named Tuva and Rebecca. Rebecca went 600 and Tuva 400, both lived in NKK I believe, and both left in December.

Let me ask about my minor worries while you're here. You seem to have paid 10 times the attention any of my seniors did.
In the pre-departure information I got, it says that it is preferable to arrive September 3rd or 4th. Registration is September 6th. I wanted to arrive a wee bit earlier at the 1st or 31st, would that become a huge bother for the ones who'll be picking me up? Or do they run several times on those days anyway? Is it an advantage to arrive earlier than suggested? I wanted some time to settle down and look around Nagoya before school started, but that might not matter if everyone gets tours later on.
