I have been in Japan for five days. Too much to tell.
However, internet culture here exists on a much different plane. No wireless. Most homestay families do not possess internet. Keitai (cell phone) purchases initially will be difficult.
I will not have internet in my room at my homestay, but I hope to write much while I have access at Kyodai Kaikan, my school building.
As someone said at ROFLCon: “Everyday is like ROFLCon in Japan!” Who needs the internets when you’re where the dreams of the internets lives?? That said, I understand your pain. Good luck!!
Hey! Found you on Linkedin! I’m a fellow WLC alum as well (80′s and 90′s) and wanted to let you know that we have an alumni group on linkedin. Please feel free to join and forward on to other alums you know!
Hope all is well!
