Departure: June 14th

Dear Friends and Family,

I will be studying in Sapporo, Japan from June 17th to August 13th. I will be learning Japanese language, culture and history through the Yamasa Institute. It is an intensive program that focuses on fluency in grammar and conversation. After my program ends, I will be spending a week in Tokyo, Japan and surrounding prefectures. I will be returning to the States on August 20th.

If you would like to see the local time and temp, simply click here.

I will for sure be taking a voluminous amount of pictures for you to live vicariously through me. I think I will post both on Facebook and probably set up a Flickr account. Links will be posted shortly.

Please check back periodically. While I can't guarantee that I will have regular access to the internet I will be writing on my laptop at least once a week on what has happened so far. So that means you are guaranteed at least 8 entries! Also, as I hope to become proficient/fluent, don't blame me for my bad grammar and poor sentence structure. I only hope to come back FOBby. I think.

Lastly, lovin' the free wireless at the Las Vegas McCarren Airport. Come visit me!
