I'm here!! It's been fascinating and exciting every step of the way so far. We got to the TOkyo Green Palace Hotel or whatever it's called... I went out to dinner with complete strangers (a girl named Nancy and two guys named Zack, I later discovered) and we got a lot of ramen even though I wasn't particularly hungry. We successfully ordered a meal in Japanese.
I am now using the laptop of a guy named Oren who goes to Hamline, which is very close to Macalester, in fact. Free wireless internet in the hotel lobby is a great thing. Dunno when I'll be able to get on again, but I miss you all, I'm having a wonderful time. I am going to be living with the Aida family...meeting them in a couple days. A mother and father and two little kids - they look adorable (I was given a family photo).
I dunno when I'll ever be able to post pictures, but I already have some fun ones.
Later...
