Arrival in Japan!!!

Hey!! Well I'm here!!! I can't believe it... it's so weird that I am actually in Japan.. AHHHH

So my flight went well... I didn't sleep at all but read a book and wrote in my journal (man I sound like a dork) oh wait I am one... right. anyways... so I flew from LA to Tokyo and then had to connect to a flight to Nagoya (which is where my training is). I almost missed my connecting flight due to the fact that I don't read Japanese and got lost in the airport (thank God I made it in time) and some how managed to snake a seat in business class...!!! How that happened I have no idea
So then that flight was only about 50 min and we landed no problem- got all my bags -no problem- one of our trainers was there to pick me up- no problem- then, myself the trainer and another girl (who I will be training with) took a train to Nagoya Station ( which is super cool- really big and has lots of department stores in it!) then he walked us over to our Hotel and we met the other girl that will be training with us... both girls are around the same age as me and have a background in teaching. One is from Hawaii and her name is Tarenn and the other girl is Melissa and she is from Seattle. Both are really nice and we are going to go sightseeing tomorrow! I think we may hit Nagoya Castle and maybe the big TV tower... I have have to look up what it's called, but I know it's  kinda a big deal if you know what I mean... and if not stayed tuned and I will tell you all about it!!! lol!
Wow first day on the blog and I already feel like a big dork! I love it!!!
We also went to a nearby convenience store to pick up some water and a little something to eat... we all walked around trying to figure out what was what... I will try to post pictures of what I got... I think I got cottage cheese (but really I have no idea) and some kind of coffee drink, water, and looked like some kind of pickled cabbage!!! Very exciting!!! Can't wait to open that "cottage cheese" and find out it's fish guts or something... well guess I won't know until I open it!!! Watch out!

okay time for bed, it's been a long day!
