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!

Last Saturday I went to play softball with a co-ed recreational team of people of all ages. It mostly consisted of middle aged women and two older men aged 60 and 74 who both moved like they were 50. (Middle picture) My host father was really excited about this, so he wore his old baseball uniform from an old team he used to play for. The softballs they use are different, they are cheaper so they don't have any laces. Needless to say, pitching was pretty difficult, not only for that reason but also because I haven't pitched in four months. Now, three days later, my body is still in quite a lot of pain. However, totally worth it. It was awesome, and I hope I will be able to go again sometime soon.
