I have everything packed and ready to go now. In the morning I have an hour drive to get to the airport at 10, then my flight is at 1:15. EXCITING.
Time for bed :)

Swimming in Money
I just received my emergency cash! I decided on carrying 20,000円(yen) just in case my bank card doesn't work or gets shut down after my arrival in Japan. Thats a little over $200, should hold me over long enough to figure out my money situation more permanently.
Exciting. Twenty grand, yo.

The Countdown
Alright!
Time to get this blog fired up. In nine days I will be on a plane with Candiece and two dozen other students. We will be in Japan for the duration of Fall quarter. You can keep up with our many adventures in Japan by reading my posts!
I will be taking a photography class over there, so expect a lot of pictures.
Now since there is barely more than a week left until we leave I have been scrambling to get things done. The major investment of last week:
Our class schedule has been adjusted to give us a nine day break at the beginning of november! Candiece and I (and a group which is still forming) will be taking a trip down to Kyoto, Nara, Osaka, and other places in western/central Japan. The rail pass pictured above rings up at 28,300 yen... about $310USD. That gives me unlimited train travel on any line operated by Japan Rail (except for the new Nozomi bullet trains) for the period of a week.
Thats all for now. I will probably post more details before we leave!
