About a week in...

These are a few photos from the beginning orientations of the trip, from touching down in Tokyo to photos of the orientation in Nagoya to some of the house. There aren't very many, but I will upload more soon. ^_^



This is of Narita Airport; I will try to go back in later and rotate these. At this point, we were waiting to be taken in a bus to the hotel in Tokyo, where we spent one night until we were separated into different cities.



This is just a picture of the vending machine there; there were so many drinks to choose from, it was ridiculous! 8D I ended up getting an apple juice that tasted like drinking straight out of an apple.



...and here is RT, my Texan friend posing with said apple juice. It was excellent.



This is a picture of Holly, who was my roommate in LA; first picture of an actual peace sign. It's only going to be peace signs from here on out. :)



More peace signs. This is Holly and Alyssa, another friend who is from Florida.



A picture of some Japanese Kanji that I took for future reference. :D I know that the second to last one is the kanji for electricity.



I had to take a picture of the BIG cup of noodles. I just thought it was cool.



This is actually supposed to be a picture of Disneyland Tokyo; but it was raining and I was pointing my camera through a bus window. I think you can sort of see the castle in the background...



A Japanese McDonald's. Funny how that happens.



A picture of us settling into our room at Nagoya.



This was the first part of our group that stayed in the Red room in Nagoya. It was awesome because there were girls from so many different countries.



Arranging our futons. We had to put on our own sheets and claim our sleeping spaces on the floor; there wasn't much room to put our luggage either, so the competition for finding space was fierce. :D



This was Group 3, and our leaders were YOOOOK-say (Yusuke) and Sakae, both of whom are peacing out in the background. That kid in the front is Tom from New Zealand, who by this point was all photoed out.



These are the people who went to the temple that was down the street from the hostel where we stayed. My camera ran out of batteries not long after this, so there aren't many pictures of the temple.



Walking up to the temple.



The temple close up. This is where my camera died, I remember now.



This is a picture of my messy messy room, which I had just moved into at this point.



A picture of my coats, and everything hung up nice and neat and tidy.

So those are all the pictures that I have. This first week has certainly been nervewracking, but very very fun. School starts next week, and I should have lots more pictures to upload by then. Bye for now!
