So this little spot on the internet is inspired roughly by my friend's travelling blogs. :) You can find them here: http://chaostravels.blogspot.com and http://slewis-adventure.blogspot.com They're both amazing writers, and have had adventures of their own that I hope to match.
My upcoming adventure is actually an overseas internship, so I'll be staying in one place a little more than a normal adventure, but I hope that doesn't mean I won't have exciting tales to tell.
I will be working at a Japanese children's home through the program J-CHIP for ten weeks in the city of Machida, Tokyo at Bott Memorial Home. I'm a little lucky because compared to other students in my program, I got placed in a pretty populated area, and I feel that there's more people at my home that speak English compared to others. Nonetheless, I'm going to push myself to speak Japanese as often as I can and to get better in it! I also applied for this program because I'm a Human Development major, and this is an amazing opportunity for me to further my experience in working with children.
Afterwards, I plan to stay a week with my host mother from my Antioch-Chichibu Sister City Organization 2009 trip.
My partner is an amazing and sweet girl named Yumie. :) I expect to be hiding behind her a lot when I stumble over my Japanese, haha.
Here's pictures of letters that we sent (that I stole from Yumie xD).
They're cute, right?
We'll be leaving the end of June! In the meantime I'll try to post things about my preparations for my trip, which will include buying gifts to give to the children. We're thinking about making goody-bags together. :) For now though, I have to finish finals for school!
