Back in Tokyo

I'm back in Tokyo (which also means back to having internet access). My time in Fukutsu was wonderful. I visited three schools, got to experience indigo dyeing (which is a local craft), and had my homestay. The family I stayed with exceeded all of my wildest expectations! They were so kind and incredibly generous, sending me on my way with many gifts. It was a very unique experience getting to have an inside look at how a typical Japanese family lives.

I have too many stories from the past week for one post, so most of them will have to wait until I return State-side. The trip is winding down now with just one more full day before heading to the airport for my retuen voyage. Although I am exited to get back to school and see my friends and family, I am sad to leave as I have made so many wonderful friends. I have learned a ton from this entire three week journey, and am confident that it will have a significant impact on my personal and professional life.

I hope you all have a wonderful Halloween; I'll be back at school next Monday!!
