first post!

Hey everyone! okay so i've been asked by so many people how Japan is, and i never know where to start. there's too much about this country that i love to explain to every person who asks. so i've decided to just start a blog about all the things i see and love here. that way everyone can keep updated on how i'm doing. i wish i had the time to talk to everyone back home one at a time, but theres too many of you, and i dont have a lot of free time. i'm gonna do my best to keep in touch as much as possible but this way i know whoever i dont get a chance to talk to will still get some type of update. i miss all of you, and i would love to hear from anyone that has the time to just write me an email or something and let me know whats going on in your life. i dont want to fall completely out of the loop. if you dont have any of my contact information (email, sn, skype, ect.) just ask. i'd love more than anything to hear from you. i cant just post my info on my page for security reasons. there are a lot of crazy japanese fans that stalk the disney characters, so i cant post personal information on the internet. its weird. i'll probably go into detail on a later day. okay well i have A LOT to update already so i'm gonna get started. love you guys! sayonara!

p.s. i dont feel like making the effort to make all my posts have perfect punctuation, and i hate capitalizing things. just thought i'd warn you.
