OVERVIEW

Welcome! For those wondering, I am studying abroad at Nanzan University in Nagoya, Japan from August 28th to December 18th. I am writing this blog to keep all of my family and friends up to date with what I am doing, how I am doing, and all other relevant details.

So here is my basic info:

I am living with a host family in a suburb of Nagoya called Kasugai(春日井市). Though considered small, it has a population of about 300,000. I will be traveling by public transit south to Nanzan University(南山大学)which is in the city of Nagoya (名古屋市)the third largest and fourth most populous city in Japan sitting around 2.2 million people.

I am traveling through IES Abroad, which has been great so far. I can't wait to share all of my experiences with everyone!

I made it!

Well I made it to Nagoya! I haven't slept in 24 hours so I am about to pass out but otherwise the trip went pretty smoothly. I met 17 of my group members and they all seem pretty cool. We all have single rooms in a hotel near-ish to the airport. I have a flat screen TV in my room that has all HD channels and really fast cable internet! I am not sure how much longer I can stay awake to watch TV, but its awesome. I am so excited for whats to come, but for now I must sleep.
