OFF TO JAPAN!

May 14, 2014

Wow! 

I am so thrilled to be headed to Japan for the next three weeks. Not only am I excited because I always have a great time traveling and exploring new places, but Japan already holds a special place in my heart as it is a part of my heritage. My grandmother was Japanese, and my dad even lived there for many years as a kid. I've always wanted to go. 

I'm making the trip with a group from Furman, 15(ish) students and two professors. We'll be exploring, sightseeing, and learning about Eastern art and religion. I'm so excited to get to know my fellow travelers, take in this rich culture, and (perhaps most of all) try all the foreign foods! (Is that bad?) 

We fly out of Atlanta for Tokyo in just a few hours! Seeya in three weeks, Texas!
