I'm glad your enjoying it. :) As for your questions, yes, the program I'm on is a direct exchange offered by the University of Maine, not through some private study abroad company. I'm an English major as well. Hey YoruKanji,

I am quite impressed with the pictures and descriptions of the adventure to Japan. Your trip is very similar to what a few friends and I hope to do some day. I can't wait to see if you go to Harajuku ^.^ Does the University of Maine offer this exchange program? May I also ask what degree you are seeking? I just happened to stumble across your blog today.

So will you be coming back to Tokyo? I agree you got to see some more - Shibuya is a must! Check out<a href="http://www.tokyotopia.com/shibuya.html" title="Shibuya" rel="nofollow">Shibuya</a>. Sorry to hear you saw the Akihabara incident - that must have been quite a shock - more so as you don't usually see stuff like that here. Hope you did clear your heads of that. Keep on keeping on - love the blog. Hi there,

Glad to hear you are safe. And second, are you crazy? No Shibuya or Shinjuku? Blasphemous. I certainly hope you do make it down here a second time. I'd hate for your impression of Tokyo to be entirely based on Akihabara, which is only a mere shell of the geek paradise it once was, and Ueno and Asakusa, which are... Ueno and Asakusa. It's like going to visit New York and only going to Queens and New Jersey. And next time be sure to try some Tokyo-style dishes. Shoyu udon and monjayaki should be required for any short trip to Tokyo. Wow, that Akihabara trip was a close call. Glad to hear you are safe.
