My Daily Commute (abridged)

As the semester drew to a close and I began to get prematurely nostalgic about daily life in Japan, I decided to film my commute to school. Since I'm sure no one wants to sit through a good 45 minutes of me sitting on a train or 20 minutes of me on a subway, I've abridged the video. Even so, this clip ended up quite long and rather uninteresting. Still, if you want a snapshot of life in Japan, this is pretty much it. Serious props if you can sit through the whole thing (I can't).

Hello,

It's Tuesday, December 27 (I'm now 20!) and I am posting from Phoenix.

While I'm not in Japan anymore, I'm not quite finished blogging about my experiences either. I actually completed a number of blogs before I left Japan that never got posted due to a series of events (catastrophic internet failure, finals, traveling, etc.) so I'm going to back-post a few video blogs shortly.
