Yes, it's T-minus 23 days as of today and things are going pretty much right on schedule.
My visa's been approved and is waiting to be picked up, my airline ticket is confirmed and also waiting to be picked up, my traveler's cheques were picked up, I picked up a pair of dress pants and some ties and will be picking up a suit and some new dress shoes. So, in general, just a lot of picking things up.
Most important, I need to go get gifts to thank a very kind Arakawa sensei for taking me under his wing and a very generous Matsuda sensei for providing me with a home-stay. Apparently smoked salmon is quite popular so I'll probably just get some of that. And maybe hedgehogs cuz everyone loves those hazelnut truffle filled chocolate critters. And Purdy's has Turkish Delight too!! If you haven't tried any, you should. It's quite good if I do say so myself, even if Purdy's doesn't make the best Turkish Delight I've had. Considering the alternative is Turkish Delight from Turkey, I guess it'll have to do...
So that's pretty much it. Just a lot of picking things up or planning on picking things up. It's now not nearly as exciting as I thought it was before, but that's ok. I hear Japan's really hot right now so I'll save all my excitement for when I'm being sauteed in my own sweat in the 40 degree heat and 1 million percent humidity. Air conditioning FTW......

Hi Lawrence.
I finally LAW-gged into your site. It is rather clever, considering your name is LAWrence and you are web-LOGging. Pat on the back for a job well-done.
But... I have been speaking with people who know people about perhaps, maybe, with a probable-cause or intent, of sabotaging your trip. Mainly because I don't want you to leave because I will not have anyone to go for bubble teas with on Sunday evenings.
Sigh.
Actually, I don't know anyone who knows how to sabotage your trip. So the most likely scenario is that you will have a great time in Sugito, and you will make great friends and learn the anime-language. I'm so jealous.
Funny you mention that because some people at work want to sabotage my trip too haha.......
Apparently they're just going to call the airport and tell them I'm a terrorrorist (Ali-G!!). And it's supposed to just.... work....
Anyways, thanks for the kind and slightly malevolent thoughts! =)... keep 'em coming....
i think you also need to give thanks to me for being such an awesome coworker for the past 3 years. The final shot of GBC shall take place next Saturday. 2 dollars is on the line here dont forget!
Yes, thanks Jen for always making sure I have more food than I can conveniently carry and drive with on the night shifts haha.....
And don't worry, with my pay, I definitely haven't forgotten the prize =P.....
