Memoirs of an American in Japan

What can I say, I must be a little mad. I am packing up my bags and moving 5,500 miles away from all my family and friends to a little country called Japan. Some call me crazy, and some call me adventurous, but I am ready for the experience of a lifetime...

Typhoons and Earthquakes...oh my

Ok, I am still alive. I've been given the third degree from grams and mom so here i am blogging to let everyone know I have survived the nature disasters that have hit Japan in the past week. I slept through the Earthquake (not a shocker for those who know me) and the Typhoon just missed Nagoya so we got lots of rain and wind but not the excitement I was waiting for. I promise I will blog soon about everything that has been going on. It has been quite an exciting few weeks, with sumo practices and lunches, Saori's cabin, spontaneous overnight trip across country to watch the sun rise over the clouds (did we actually see the sun-its a shocker), and Naomi leaving-the beginning of the end. But you must wait. I am absolutely exhausted and sick and want to go to bed. I am off to Hiroshima with Lizzie, Charrissa and Saori. When I get back I will do a proper update. Till then...
