Hello everyone! This is JapanJames, or James for short, and I would like to thank you for taking the time to read this. I don't have much to say yet, but stay tuned and you won't be disappointed (I hope).
I have been accepted into the Summer Intensive Language Program offered by Michigan State University (MSU) through the Japan Center for Michigan Universities (JCMU). I am leaving May 30, 2012 and will be gone for nine weeks. I plan to document as much of my trip as possible and will hopefully post pictures and videos (I'm not entirely sure how this blog site works, and it's my first time trying to blog).
I should really be getting to bed now, for I have about five hours before I need to get up and get ready to leave for my flight. The airport is about two hours away, they say to get there two hours early as well, I have an hour flight to Toronto, two hour wait, and a 13 hour flight to Tokyo. I then have a three and a half hour (roughly) train ride(s) to get to Hikone where my hotel awaits me for the first night I am there. Needless to say, it's going to be a long day.
I won't lie, it still feels like a dream and that I am going to wake up to find that I am not going to Japan. I hope that's not true, and I hope you all will come along for the adventure as well. If you have any questions that you would like answered, do not hesitate to comment and ask. I will try to get to any and all questions that I can.
Until next time...Peace Out! -JapanJames
