INTRODUCTION
Your name is Toshi. You are an ELI student from Japan. This
is your first session at the English Language Institute of the
University of Delaware. It is week two of the session.
The goal of this game is to survive the weekend in Newark and
come to your classes Monday morning prepared for the required
classwork.
You will find many things to do over the weekend. You will
need to make decisions about these things. Remember that your goal
is to learn English and get a good job when you return back to
Japan. But also you want to learn as much as possible about the
way of life of Americans.
You live in the International House (sometimes called "Little
Tokyo"). You have two roommates -- one American (Dave) and one
from Lithuania (Zardok).
You are very fortunate to be in Newark, Delaware -- one of
the Middle Atlantic's great centers of culture.
