Leaving tomorrow morning!!

Hey so this is where I'll blog for the next 4 months about what's going on in Nagoya!! So far I know that I am staying with a host family for sure. They are the Asano family. The dad's name is Toshiyuki, the mom's name is Tomiko and the daughter's name is Yukimi. They are 71, 64, and 40 years old. This should be interesting!
When I get there I have an IES (my program) field trip/orientation in Inuyama. I've never heard of this place but apparently there is a castle there! I'll take lots of pictures. After the IES orientation I have to take a Japanese placement test and then go through the school's orientation. My first day of classes is...September 8th!
We have lots of field trips and things planned for the semester so it should be fun. I don't know my classes yet...should find out in orientation!
Erin and I are leaving for the airport at 5:30 in the morning tomorrow yay!! (My flight is at 8:30 and the airport is far away..trying to avoid rush hour)
My next post will be from Japan sooo...yeah..wish me luck! hehe:)

I have a nephew who was an exchange student in the same city, for four months. He really enjoyed his time there. I know you will really enjoy it. I look forward to reading your entries from Japan about your adventures.
