I am packed and ready! I leave tomorrow morning for Seoul, South Korea to spend 11 days with Adam - and then off to Tokyo for the remainder of the summer. I am extremely excited to see Adam and looking forward to having him introduce me to his life in Korea! I'll give this blog my best effort so that you can share my experiences of visiting Korea and living in Japan for the summer.
I will be working at an English language camp in Tokyo from June 26th to August 21st - no I do not know any Japanese! As frightening as that seems, that was actually somewhat of a pre-requisite! The point of the USA Summer Camp is for Japanese kids (ages ranging from 5-15) to work on their English language skills - not to practice their Japanese. I'm sure this will prove to be a challenge, but I am ready! My team of counselors is a group of 25 college students from all over the nation. I don't know anyone that's going - but I think that makes it more exciting!
I am unsure of a lot of things at this point - how much I will have access to a computer, what I will eat (I hate fish), how I will ever figure out the Tokyo subway, what a normal week will be like, how hot it really is, how I will communicate etc.... On a slightly different note I am sure that I'm excited! I'm feeling to normal and healthy butterflies - but I know that Adam will be waiting as soon as I get off the plane in Seoul! I am most excited to see him and his world!!!
I leave Wednesday June 13th at 9:30 am and fly into Seoul Thursday June 14th at 9:30 pm (Seoul time - so that would make it 7:30 am on the 14th here)
