Hey Everybody!
I am incredibly excited about my trip to Japan!
On July 9th, I will be leaving from RDU, and on August 7th, I will be retuning to North Carolina. I am going to be staying with Tomo Maehana, my year-long exchange student the entire time I am in Japan, however, we will be traveling together all across the main island, Honshu.
LABO, the Japanese equivalent of 4-H has helped coordinate and plan my trip.
While in Japan, Tomo and I will go to many places with cultural and historical value, such as Hiroshima, Miya-Jima, Kinkaju-ji, Todai-ji Temple and a variety of authentic Japanese restaurants.
I am glad that I will also be able to experience pop culture in Japan. I will go to Universal Studios of Japan, Diamond City ( a large shopping mall), and a variety of Purikura boothes.

I will try to write you all as much as possible, using this blog and snail mail.
When possible, I am going to try to put pictures up so you can see what I have been up to!
If you would like, you can send me a letter at Tomo's house. I can be reached at:
