Off to Japan to PLAY

hello friends and fellow journey makers,

i am Teresa and am one of the potential 7 heading off to Japan this spring semester from UVA to study at Sophia University in Tokyo. i have met everybody invited to see this blog at one point or another and you have been invited to either blog here as well or comment if you're part of the huge group running off to J-land.

i'll essentially restate what i put into my earlier e-mail.

i am very excited that such a large group of us are going together. that makes it major fun! i am pre-planning to arrive in Japan on March 25th, a week before we are due at campus. this is pre-planned because i seriously don't want to be in japan all by myself for a week. i could do it if necessary, but company always makes me feel more reassured.

please post your plans for Japan on this lovely lovely blog, kay? you can also do it through that earlier e-mail, but i figure if we do it here it'd be much much less crowded.

some fun websites i have found to help you plan flights and book hotels in japan:

feel free to drop any comments ya want.

take care now,
