I am making this blog to document my study abroad experience in the fall of 2010. In August, I will be leaving from San Antonio, Texas to the Nagoya University of Foreign Studies(NUFS) in Nagoya, Japan. During my stay, I will be studying the Japanese language and culture, and exploring some interesting locales in Japan. I will be there for four months before returning to San Antonio to finish my undergraduate education. It is my intention to use this blog as one outlet to share my experience with family, friends, and anyone else who is interested in my journey.
Some words on Nagoya perhaps? Nagoya is a labyrinth of skyscrapers and city streets. It is the fourth largest city in Japan and houses over 2.1 million people. Featured in this metropolis is Japan's main automotive industry, a collection of famous museums, and lots of Buddhist and Shinto shrines. More on Nagoya later...
Now when it comes to making blogs, I am a novice. You will have to bear with me as I get into the habit of writing my findings and thoughts online. Please leave questions, comments, and suggestions as my journey unfolds. Peace be with you,
Tristan
