Here I sit in a Japanese hotel room in Hirosaki, Aomori, Japan. It is hard to come to grips with. The whole arrival in Japan and subsequent journey to my present location has been and still continues to be the most intensely lucid dream I have ever had - I fear that I might wake up tomorrow, back in my bedroom in Maine. After all the talk, all the preparations, my money is where my mouth is. Perhaps you would like to share with me the events that have transpired over the past 24 hours or so, complete with pictures and video? I thought you might.

"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime."
