Yum...!!! Look at all that chocolate!!! Aren't chocolate factories fun? :-) It looks like Japan gets into Christmas about as much as Austria does. Have you seen any Christkindlmarkts over there? ;-) Keep having fun!
What fun!!! It is crazy how quickly the time flies! It looks like you're making the best of it! :-) I'll be anxious to see your calligraphy skills when we're both back in the U.S. ;-)
Icecream Square icecream! Wow! I imagine someday we'll see that in the US and then you can say you had that first in Japan.
Sounds like you had great fun teaching the kids. Keep the journals coming. Love, MOM
At first I didn't know if you were swearing at the ice cream but then I did see that it was actualyl in a square shape. Odd. I probably would have taken a picture of that too. Sounds like you're having a good time!
enjoyable Thanks Joy, for allowing us to read your travelblog. It is so interesting, and we always look forward to the information and pictures. You must be having a great time and experiencing so many new things. Keep sending updates, we love it.

Have Fun! Joy, I was so excited to hear that you were in Japan. I am glad that you are able to expand you center of knowledge and go places that will offer experiences we don't get here in the US. Stay safe. The Lords' Blessings!
Pyramid What a unique architectural structure to see! I bet Greg would love to see that. The little witch doll is so cute! How are you going to bring home your cool jar of fish? Looks like you're having fun with some of you're friends from BVU. Keep the posts coming! I love hearing about all your experiences. Mom
School Sounds like you will be very busy in school. Thank you for answering so many of my questions before I even asked you. God bless your semester there!
Fun Experiences Hi Joy! Sounds like you are experiencing many new things. Glad you are enjoying the new food and learning to cook. Good for you! Loved your pictures!
Sushi!!! It sounds like your time in Japan has gotten off to a wonderful start! And look at all that sushi! Reminds me of when we were in Japan...what fun! I'm glad that you're open to trying new things. You're going to experience so much while you're over there. I'm so happy for you! :-)
Joyous! It sounds like you are having a great time and really like your host family. That is great to hear. Keep having fun and don't study too hard. :)
Greetings from BV How nice to be able to hear from you thru your journal. Thanks for posting things as time allows. We are off and running here at BV. Seems like the weeks are flying by. I do miss your smiling face passing the desk but I am so happy for you that you can have this wonderful experience.
Take care and enjoy your time in Japan.

:) Joyous! It sounds like you are having fun... so lucky that you don't have to start school till the 19th. Give you lots of time to explore and just have fun. :) It was great talking to you last night! Keep having fun!
Konichiwa! Hey Joy! Nice blog. ;-) I'm so glad to hear that you made it to Japan safely and that you're having a wonderful time! The Okonomiyaki looks delicious; I'd say you had a very nice welcome dinner. :-) You also packed just as light as I did: one suitcase, a backpack, and a purse. It made travelling so much easier! I wish you the best on your placement tests and no need to tell you to enjoy yourself, as I can tell you already are. :-) Take care!
