I’m in Tokyo, writing this from a Kinko’s next door to my hotel. The trip went really well – the JET program is pretty organized. I’ve been spending my time wandering the streets of Tokyo, and trying to stay awake as long as possible to avoid jetlag. I’m attending the orientation today, and it will be cool to see all the new JETs in the same room.
First impressions of Tokyo – cooler (temperature-wise) than I thought. Hardly any foreigners. Plenty of places to eat. Everyone is very polite. Not many smiles outside the hotel, however.
I’m off to the orientation, but I’ll write more in the next couple of days!
