what can I say...

...when this is your view after waking up in Japan? Wow, what a way to welcome the day and the adventure of a new country.

...when I have the nicest, most helpful, awsome translator? My new friend Noriko was the biggest help and such a delight to get to know better. All I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you, Noriko for taking care of me and helping my class run so smooth.

when the magic of this place makes you do something you normally wouldn't? Sushi - yes - I tried, I ate, I liked! The next table over has Ali, Paolo, Tracy, and Miki, encouraging all of us at our table - Lance, Clark, Katie, Scott, and me.

...such an inspiring and incredible trip I will never forget. Beautiful people with so much humility, respect, and creative ability - my life is changed.
