Greetings and Salutations from Taiwan
Very sorry for the lack of blogging! i know i promised all of you that i would blog much more often than i have. my only excuse is that i haven't had constant internet long enough to upload photos and type something meaningful up. but i can also tell you that i've been keeping a journal and i plan to make a thorough entry once i finally do land in japan on thursday and settle down. so stay tuned.

Chapter I: Departure
Frantic, emotional, nonstop, butterflies, bittersweet, hopeful, anticipatory, anxious, confident.
Still packing, still thinking of things I may have forgotten, that I should buy, that I will kick myself later for forgetting. My trip has not even begun yet, and I'm already tired. I think I might have ran so many errands and packed so much that I had a fever last night, but I think I'm over it (hopefully).
So I guess I'm not very good at saying goodbye. Each time I said goodbye to a close friend, I guess it sounded more like goodbye than see you later. Well I'm sorry if I did that to you, that's not what I meant at all. I fully intend to keep in touch with everyone and anyone I can. I'm sure there will be a lot of downtime that I can use to update people on my travels. Thank you everyone for wishing me luck, being supportive and saying goodbye, I'll miss every single one of you.
Now I must continue to try to fit my life into two measly suitcases and a backpack. Sayonara!

The First Post...
This will be the official page for my travels abroad in Japan this year. This blog is intended to:
1) Act as a virtual diary/record of my travels for anyone who wishes to follow me along my journey.
2) Be a response to a virtual community blog ring I will be involved in between other friends traveling abroad.
(So far I have David in Denmark: http://35nodes.blogspot.com/
And Ryan in Italy: http://ohisshryan.blogspot.com/)
Please keep in mind I'm new to blogging. So the format and grammar will probably be inconsistent and on occasion, just plain bad. I apologize in advance and please feel free to not read this in the event that you hate this blog. Domo arigatou gozaimashita!

3) Be my memory bank because I have a notoriously bad memory as all my close friends will tell you.
