My first step... My first entry

The first step in my Japanese adventure is creating a blogspot. This is new to me so already the adventure begins! My goal is to share my adventures, my thoughts, and even my misadventures.

First, a few caveats and provisos (excuses):
1. This is a spotaneous writing, do not expect the Queen's English.
2. Sometimes as a teacher it is hard to express thoughts and feelings. Sometimes as a student it's hard to empathize with a teacher... just give me a break!
3. Beware: No spell check on this blog.

In short, this blog will highlight my (all-expense paid) trip to Japan. The goal of the Fulbright Foundation (the people who paid for this trip) is to educate teachers about Japan so that they might better educate their students. This is the first step in that journey!
