Its been very busy in these few days leading up to the flight out. There doesn’t seem to be enough time to do everything. I have to do the following before Monday:

  • Pack
  • Graduate
  • Finish research for the paper
  • Find a job
  • Come up with 3 questions for the various companies we’re going to visit
  • Figure out what I’m going to do in my free time

I have been giving some thought about what I’m going to do in Japan and have a few good ideas. In general, I’m going to try as many new foods and take as many pictures as possible. I’ll also just hop on a bus and travel around the city and see what I can see. That was a lot of fun when I lived in Vienna.

There are a few specific places in the cities we’re going to visit that I want to visit. In Kyoto I want to visit the Budo Center. I don’t think they’ll let me train there but it would be nice just to watch. In Tokyo, I definitely want to visit Akihabara, the electronics district. There is also a sword museum with several thousand swords that I’d like to visit as well.

I do have several guide books but I haven’t had time to read all of them. If any one has any suggestions about what I should go see, leave a comment.
