Tokyo update















Well, it's been a week of the Japan-America Student Conference, and I was all ready to blog about my experiences at American Orientation outside of Chicago, and the first few days here in Tokyo, but the internet connection here is running pretty slow tonight, and it's difficult to upload photos. A single image from the Harujuku area of Tokyo will have to suffice for now. We've done many fun things in the past week, including a reception at the Japanese Council General's home in Evanston, Illinois, listening to a panel discussion on Japanese history, having a forum on the environment at the World Bank, as well as a meeting with students from Ghana and France and a chance to hear from some people working on environmental policy here in Japan. We've also done some purely fun things, including shopping and dinner at Harujuku, skits from the Japanese and U.S. students, and a game of capture the flag in the park this afternoon. It's great to be back in Japan!! Hopefully the connection will cooperate more soon, so I can include some photos of all that I've been doing.
