Willy Goes To Japan: Part Deux. Tuesday, May 25, 2010. I have been placed! I received my placement this month and was extremely excited to find out where I'd be placed. I found out that my new home for the next year, at least, will be in Hokkaido Japan. I was at first quite surprised and disappointed about my placement. My top choices were Kansai and Okinawa, so to be placed in Hokkaido was a bit of a shock. My next post should be right before I leave for Japan. Willy - Goes to Japan. again?

Willy Goes To Japan: Part Deux. Saturday, July 31, 2010. Pre-Departure, Tokyo Orientation, and Hokkaido Arrival. Let me describe real quick how I feel about the past week and a half. If you could imagine being thrown in a dark room blindfolded, then suddenly thrown outside onto a beach with the sun shining and being told everything you need to know to survive on this island in only generalizations.

Willy Goes To Japan: Part Deux. Saturday, September 25, 2010. A trip in my car! After seven long months, I finally got to see my GF. She arrived in New Chitose Airport and was scheduled to stay for only 4 short days. We decided to spend the first day in Sapporo, so we left my car in Chitose and took the train to Sapporo. The drive isn't too bad. It takes about 3 hours one way to get to Chitose Airport. I can't remember the kind of Ramen I ate, but it was good and very filling. The next day my girlfriend ...
