Getting ready for an adventure

To all who will chance upon my travel blog.

はじめまして!私はRachelです。今、UCIの三年生です。今年の七月日本に行くつもり。九月、Keio 大学で勉強します。

It's almost one month to the date of my departure to Japan. As part of my EAP Japan program, I'll be going to Tokyo to first go through 2 months of intensive japanese language classes, which I'm sure will better prepare me for my year in Japan.

As you can see from the 5 sentences above. My Japanese is quite limited and kind of rusty ever since the Spring quarter ended. I will try to read my textbook a little before I leave for Japan. If not, I'll have to rely on gesturing and smiling when I'm there.

My goal is to document as much of my experience on this blog of my year abroad in Japan, not only for me to look back 10 or 20 years later and remember all the adventures I had when I was younger but also for those of you who are interested in the Japanese culture or thinking about going to study abroad in Japan (or any other countries).


Feel free to leave comments or ask questions. I'll answer them as best as I can. =)
Counting down... 34 days to go.

Exploring the world. One step at a time.
