Well its officially now less than one week till I return to Japan. The nerves have started to appear again, but also the excitement is building. This last week I've spent a lot of time preparing and packing, and I just can't wait for the big day to get here.
Today I just found out what my flight info will be. Originally I had been told I would be flying out of Los Angeles, which would've meant two flights for me since I live in Houston. But now I've just learned I'll be flying nonstop to Narita airport from Houston. That is a huge sigh of relief since I didn't want to have to switch flights on that day. Also just having one 14 hour flight is enough. Luckily this time I'll have plenty of things to entertain me.
I've been doing lots of internet searches on Kofu lately, and while the amount of information in English is hard to come by, there are a lot of great Japanese resources for the city. I'm amazed at just how many stores that the city has. One thing I wish I could find however is more pictures, yet for some reason there aren't as many of them up online.
Also to prepare myself and to practice my Japanese, I've been watching some anime this past week. Particularly the series "Monster." I highly recommend people check this series out, even if you are not a fan of anime. The series is about a doctor whose choice to save one patient over another has devastating, and life threatening consequences for himself and the people around him. Its a fascinating show that really shows off some of the great storytelling talents in the anime/manga world. Check it out.
6 days, amazing to think that the wait is almost finally over.
