Tomorrow
I’m leaving for a 10-day trip to Japan! The trip is sponsored by JENESYS 2.0. It is
supposed to “promote international understanding on the nation’s potential
strength, allure, and values.” The trip will foster relationships between
countries and a better understanding of the culture. It is a highly structured
trip (sorry friends in Japan, I won’t have free time to visit!). Most of the
trip takes place in Tokyo while the other part of the trip takes places in
Chiba. Here’s what the itinerary looks like:
