Biking in Kyoto + HEALTH EXAM
So after about a week and a half of walking around Kyoto, I decided that it was time to get a bike!

I don't think you can test for TB by x-ray. I had to get tested for TB when I volunteered at the hospital, and back in like 2003 they did it by injecting you with something and then you had to come back a week later to see if there was a reaction.

27 units is a LOT. goodness gracious...

I am happy to see you started a journal to record your memories of Japan.
Oh, man! The health exam. I wasn't sure what the eye-exam with the little C's was supposed to prove either! The guy had to explain it to me several times and I'm still not sure. Taking off my bra when I am a 34DD and no one else is... sooooooooo uncomfortable. ha ha ha!!

In Kyoto station (I think) you should be able to go to a customer help window to get a month long subway pass between your school subway stop (Imadegawa) and whatever subway stop is closest to your apartment. You have to show them your school ID and such, as well as proof of where you live. I lived between 2 subway stops, so I got my pass extended to the the one farther south. That meant I had to pay less often, since I obviously always got off at the closer station.
