Hello everyone. Just wanted to post that I made it to Japan safely, though my luggage did not. But that is a later story.
I arrived at PDX and had Panda express。There were subsequent transfers to LAX then Guagnzauh China then finally Osaka. The flight from LAX to Guangzao tookover 15 hours of flying time. My luggage was unfortunately not included on that leg of the trip. I hope to pick up that luggage tomorrow at KIX which is when they say it will tomorrow at KIX which is when they say it will arrive at Tokyo.
Ive made several new friends since arriving at the hostel. There was a group of students from Austrailia, and several visiting Japanese as well. Tom Alix and Dori were from the Austrailia group and they will be in the Japan area for about as long as I will。They will be sending me their travel plans so that we can maybe meet up again at Tokyo.
Last night I was able to meet with my friend willy, his girlfriend Abigail and Peter. they all go to the Kansai School. We went to a cool restaorant where we had some chicken based dish with other good stuff. I:ll have to get the name later. Today we plan to go to Den Den town the electronics district. Yesterday I saw a little but not very much.
Well that is all for now. it is qute difficult to get used to a Japanese keyboard so Ill type some more later
As promised, I have some signs soon.

Nice, glad you survived the long trip. Sorry about your luggage
I would have thought you would be good on the foreign keyboards, since the computers in the Berglund Center would randomly revert to Chinese now and then J/K
Later,
Matt
