Things in Japan will soon be coming to an end for me so I think I need to give a update as to my plans in the next few months. The 31st of July through the 15th of August I will be on summer break from work. My brother, Blake, is coming to visit from California. We are planning on going on a trip with some of my good friends to the northern island of Hokkaido. I am looking forward to the great food, nature and of course fine alcohol that I have heard is there. Also to go with my brother will be wonderful and I cannot wait until he arrives on the 30th. We are thinking of going to lovely Lake Hakone when we get back to Honshu after Hokkaido. Blake, my friends and I will have quite the adventure I am sure. He will be leaving Japan on the 8th of August to get back for Jesuit football tryouts. From there I will have until the 15th to enjoy some time off. Tatsuro and I are thinking of visiting Kyoto and enjoying the Japanese summer. On the 16th I will get back for my last 2 weeks at work because come September I will be done at Felice. After finishing my work I am going to be staying in Korea for 17 or so days with my good friend Dan Grey who is working in Cheonan. I can’t wait for the Kim Chi :P After Korea Dan and I will come back for a final week in Japan. Then, at long last, on the 25th of September I am going to board a plane bound for California. San Diego I will see you soon enough and I didn’t think I would say this but I miss school. I can’t wait to be back! My friends and family back home, I can’t say how excited I am to see you again and how much I miss you. The end of September will come soon enough I am sure. This is my plan from now until fall quarter, I have a feeling life is going to be in fast forward. I will make the most of it. Life is good!
