A Hoosier in Japan. Tuesday, October 28, 2008. I tried to do breakfast after that. It was a nice set-up, but man, there was a little dish of sardines there, just staring at me!

An American Teacher in Japan. Saturday, November 1, 2008. Making the Most of Every Minute. Well, I'm back in the states and, once again, I find myself trying to adjust to the time change. It was not easy to leave Japan knowing there were still so many things that I wanted to see and do, but I was also excited to. Come home and share my experiences with all of you in person! Not to mention, it was pretty thrilling to come home to a championship winning baseball team! In this historic city was the Hasedera.

I attended a seminar on art education, and it was so much fun! Had we done the same with the meeting with Sanyo-Onoda's mayor, I would have been at the top of my game!

A Hoosier in Japan: March 2008
http://emilygoestojapan.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
A Hoosier in Japan. Tuesday, March 25, 2008. Yesterday I found out that I had been accepted to participate in the October cycle of the Japan Fulbright Memorial Fund sponsored trip to Japan. I am so excited! It was so thin! I was certain that it would be one of those nicely worded rejection letters. Surely such an important piece of communication notifying me that I had been selected would not be so thin, but sure enough, it was what I had hoped for! I'm going to Japan! October 12-30, 2008.

A Hoosier in Japan. Thursday, October 30, 2008. I have safely made it home. I had an awesome seat on the flight from Tokyo.window seat right behind the bulkhead, so extra legroom for me! I got some pizza at the airport in Chicago and found it disgusting.this is clearly a sign that I have lost my senses or that I have just become accustomed to Japanese food and couldn't stomach cheese. I slept the entire flight to Louisville from Chicago, and am now nestled on my couch. When did it get so cold here? It wa...
