Some Background Info
Okay, so I thought I should talk some more about exactly where I'm going in Japan. I will be going to Fukuoka, Japan.
It is a beautiful city in the southern part of Japan. Fukuoka is the capital of Fukuoka Prefecture and is located on the northern shore of the island of Kyushu (just across the Korea Strait). Apparently, Fukuoka has been called the "Liverpool of Japan," because more successful music artists have come from Fukuoka than any other city in Japan. (see www3.oag.com for more about Fukuoka)
I will be going to Kyushu University. From all the pictures I've seen, and from what my friends in Fukuoka have told me, this place is amazing! It's an older university, and the campus is just gorgeous... stay tuned for pictures when I get there! In the mean time, if you're interested, check out their website at:

One last thing: logistics. Just so you all know, I am leaving on September 28th, and I will be staying in Fukuoka until the end of next July. I would be forever happy if anyone wanted to visit though! \(^o^)/

Whitney, Guess who will already be in Japan? Yours truly! I'm leaving this Thursday so that would be Aug. 31! SO SOON! I'll be at JCMU in Hikone an hour from Osaka. Aren't you excited! I've got cold feet. Keep in touch!
Whitney:
I am so proud of you. It seems like yesterday we were circling the townhouses on your "Big Girl" Bike!
Keep climbing ... I am convinced there is nothing you can't reach, once you set your mind to it.
Stay focused while you are away, and don't forget, you have two sisters, mom, and myself ... rooting for you, albeit across the international dateline!
Love,
"D"
whitney!! come visit us before u leave!! 420 packard, come come come!!
I'm so excited for you! Living abroad is sooooo amazing. I've only lived in England for a few days, but it seems like I've lived here for months. I'm jealous that you get to be gone for about twice as long as I do, though. ;) Anyway, hope you have a amazing, life-changing trip!
God bless,
Mike
