\n(p.s. this is just an observation… I am still being safe, smart, and responsible!)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Please understand that there was a lot more said in the orientation, and if only I was my normal self, I am sure I would have blogged about those.<\/p>\n
After orientation we went on a bike tour! It was a great time. I was continually impressed by my Japanese comprehension skills and at the same time embarrassed by my poor Japanese speaking skills. I guess we can\u2019t all have thumbs up all the time.<\/p>\n
I can\u2019t express how beautiful our location is. There is a huge lake right next to the place where I stay called Japan Center for Michigan Universities (JCMU for short). Japan is an island made from mountains so it shouldn\u2019t come to any surprise that I am in the middle of the mountains, yet I still find the shock and beauty in it every time I walk outside.<\/p>\n
The people that I am with seem so cool; I can\u2019t wait to get to meet everyone over the course of these two months!
