Jet lag is a pain

Konnichiwa everybody

Sorry I haven't updated sooner, but I haven't had much access to a computer as of late, and my time on this machine is very limited, so I will have to make this short:

After a long and boring flight, I arrived in Tokyo on Tuesday afternoon at about 2:15 Tokyo Time (what time would that have been in Philly)? Mr. and Mrs. Takahashi picked me up at the airport and were nice enough to drive me to CAJ. After I finally met my host family (well, I only met Minako b/c Darren is in Cambodia right now), the Takahashis took me to an Onsen and then out for dinner.

Wednesday I spent at CAJ meeting the staff, my cooperating teachers, some of the students, and basically learning a lot of random peoples' names. Went home and had dinner, then ended up crashing at about 8pm.

Today (Thursday) I biked to school and was asked last minute to be a chaperone on the 9th and 10th grade field trip to the Tokyo-Edo museum. The museum dealt with the development of Tokyo from the Tokugawa period all the way through WW2. I'll post pics later b/c like i said earlier, I am not on my own machine.

I miss everyone, and will update soon

Although your name isn't Waldo, but you get the point.
