And he's off

OHIO!
Ok, so a quick update while I have the benefit of a speedy internet connection. Kampi (Cheers) ! After almost a full 22 hours of traveling I made it to Japan. I got into Tokyo around lunch and finally made it to Fukuoka around 8:30 - 9:00ish. The longest flight, Chicago to Tokyo, felt surprisingly short. I comfortably lasted the 12 or 13 hour flight with my own personal TV monitor in front of me and a very friendly older Japanese woman beside me. Communication was attempted several times but was not especially successful. I believe the only English word she knew was sorry. Anyway, I’m off to catch a bus to Nagasaki, and meet my host family. More when stuff settles a little.
