It any case, I'm very happy for you, and I'm gonna keep up with this blog now that I know it's hurr. Well, i just found this so i just watched the video. THATS AWESOME!!! You being in Japan, that is.

Before you said anything about anime, I was "OMG, that looks like DeathNote x 3D!" LOL at God of War. Dude, you made Japan real for me. I had seen videos from Japan on the internet, watched DeathNote, have artifacts in my living room my grandfather brought back from the war, etc. But because no one (that grandfather was gone before I was born) and nothing I had personally been around had invaded Japan, it never seemed like a real place. Really, no foreign country had, as I've never left the east coast of the States. They all seemed like imaginings in my head. I knew the difference between fiction and nonfiction when I read, and I imagined things going on around the world when I read the news. But still, none of it seemed tangible. Seeing you in the same frame as Osaka has shattered that barrier for the first time. It's an insane paradigm shift, so keep the videos coming. Just saw the video.

I love this! Watching your video made me really want to get on top of things and do all the things I want to do. I made a wordpress account a while ago cause I was gonna start vlogging and blogging (although, I'd rather vlog since it takes me more time to write) about math ed research stuff that I've been trying to do on my own like not for class or anything. But ya I just haven't found the time to do it. Anyways, back to you... I can't believe you are in Japan. I remember how you didn't even want to go to Hawaii freshman year. You turned it down for a while until you later got comfortable with the idea I guess. I also remember you telling me that there were too many Japanese people when we were in Hawaii. HAHA you must be going crazy with the amount of Japanese people there. You will truly learn a lot from being so far away from home, outside your comfort zone, and just from feeling out of place. I know when you get back you will feel more confident in what you can do, and will be a stronger, wiser person. My piece of advice to you is to make sure you take up every opportunity you receive, don't be too afraid to try something new... take risks, go out of your comfort zone... I promise you will be very happy you did, so you will have no regrets. All experiences (good or bad) are learning experiences, their outcome of you learning something is always good. Oh, I gotta go blow my nose now... Peter got me sick :( Jya Matta! HEY! I love this! Watching your video made me really want to get on top of things and do all the things I want to do.

I rushed over to her room and we sat down and watched your video and read your blog. It was amazing (すごいです）。 You really need to update ALL the time. We need this Chris!! You don't even know. Let me know if you see any type of Vegan dishes or foods while you're there. I highly doubt it and that's a concern I have if I ever go there, but I wouldn't know. I'm not in "JAPAN...JAPAN!!"

Glad you're having fun. Promise you'll write on here everyday. I know it may not seem like something fantastic happens that often, but I'm still in GA, so even the mundane details will be interesting because of their foreignness. When you find out, lemme know what Wendy's serves over there. Sweet. Glad you’re having fun. Promise you’ll write on here everyday.
