Tokyo!

I am writing this blog from Tokyo! It is amazing to know that we are finally here! We went through training from Saturday to Monday. It was an awesome time of learning, team-building, and preparing for this journey. We flew out Tuesday morning (USA time) and landed around 12:30 PM (Japan time). Just being on the plane was a taste of what was to come. We did stand out among the other passengers. The flight was 14 hours, but did not seem to bad. Also everything that was said over the PA system was in English and Japanese. When we landed, it really hit me that I was actually in Tokyo! We took a bus to our neighborhood and then walked to our apartments. Just walking the streets of Tokyo, you can feel the darkness. Seeing some of the things that are sold, advertised, or being done broke my heart. I am falling in love with this place already!
