I arrived in Tokyo yesterday at about 4pm. I managed to spend the first 6 hours on the airplane sleeping, and also did a bit of prep the night before at the hotel in LA. By the time we landed at Narita I was already accustomed to the time difference here in Japan.
I'm staying at the Keio plaza hotel, and the view of Tokyo from my room on the 27th floor is stunning. Last night blew me away. This morning I woke up about an hour before my alarm went off cause I heard my roommate get out of bed. And as soon as looked out the window, whatever shred of tiredness was instantly wiped out by an amazing view of Tokyo city.

Ok I have to run get ready. Talk to all of you soon and bye for now.
This is my last day in Tucson, at least for a while. Tomorrow morning I have to get up early and drive to Phoenix to depart for L.A.. I'll spend then night there and then head to Japan the next day. I'll probably be busy for the first week or so, so probably no updates for a while.
There are a number of people I was not able to meet up with before my departure. My apologies friends. But I'm sure I will see many of you again.
Here's a little picture I took last week, to remind me of the sunsets I will be missing.
PrettyHi everybody!!!
So for the duration of my stay in Japan, this will be the main website I will be using to keep in touch with everybody and let you all know how I am doing.
I will also be keeping a photo album online here. I will be uploading some of the pictures I take to this blog also, but the majority of them will be at that website.
To get a good idea of where I am going, check out this website. My city is called Miyakonojo, and the closest city near me is Miyazaki. But all of those places are not too far away from me, 2 hours max to the furthest.
Below is a test to make sure I am able to post slide shows in the future. It's from when I was in Japan last winter. Enjoy.
