Japan I

Greetings and salutations! Welcome to my blog. Here marks the first post of my 'Japan Blog.' As of today, I leave for Japan in 1 month and 2 days. I am currently seated on my parent's porch listening to Star Slinger and hoping to get this all typed out before the temperature becomes unbearable. Here are some FAQs![Where will Julie be?]
First, I am leaving from Columbus Airport to Seattle, Washington. In Seattle I will be visiting a friend and resting up before I cross the Pacific ocean. I will be flying to Kansai International Airport. From Kansai, I will be staying at the Kansai Washington Hotel for one night, then heading back to Kansai to be picked up by a representative from Kake Institues along with my fellow intern. I will then be escorted to an apartment in Okayama, Japan.

I will be living here for about 4 months. I will be back home on December 23rd, 2012.
[What will Julie be doing?]
 I will be a teaching intern at Kake Institutes. What Ia m teaching is the actual language of English. As far as I know now, I will be teaching several classes to a wide variety of age groups. Like an actual teaching position, I will be working at the schools everyday and have weekends off. I also hope to do some traveling on the weekends which will include Tokyo and South Korea hopefully.
