Japan- Day 1 (Paul)

Japan!

I had dreamed about this moment for months and now it was finally here. The international ports, tofu plants, and fish markets of Japan were just around the corner for our team. Then, like a speeding bullet, we were off! The flight was about 14 hours long, but was well worth it.

When we arrived we had a quick tour of Tokyo from our friend and guide, Chieko, then headed to our hotel that was much like most American hotels. The city around us is very big as Tokyo is one of the largest cities in the world. The bright lights and fast paced life surround us, yet the city is still so quiet. It is so interesting to see how the Japanese culture shares many similarities, yet also has many differences from the American culture.

I cant wait to learn more about agriculture here　in Japan and share it with all of you back home. We will continue to keep you posted on our trip!
