Apologies for this getting posted late. I wrote the following two nights ago from New York, but I didn't have the chance to get online and post it until now. I'm now in Tokyo, Japan attending the orientation events. I'll post more about how that is going tomorrow.
Today I traveled to New York City to have our final pre-departure meeting with the consulate. Afterwards, I enjoyed dinner with my parents at the Atlantic Grill in the city. Tomorrow morning, I'll be taking the 13.5 hour flight that will bring me into Narita Japan. My old classmates from my semester abroad in Tokyo are meeting myself and another JET friend at our hotel for a welcome back party. The plan is karaoke, which I've been missing a lot since I returned home. I have to imagine it will be pretty rough though, with jet-lag combined with an immediately busy evening. On Monday, meetings begin bright and early at 9am. I'm anticipating being a zombie for those meetings....

Sounds like fun! Sorry that I haven't introduced myself, I'm Colby. I joined your blog to learn about my favorite country, Japan. I would love to be an English teacher there, so I've been looking at the different programs. If you would like to look for a different theme for your blog look at http://www.pyzam.com/. They have some really good blogger themes. Thanks! I look forward to your stories in Japan!
