Preamble

This post is meant to lay down the basis and intent of this blog.

As my brief profile indicates, I am a computer science student at the University of New Mexico, and am currently departing to Kyoto, Japan for a 2-semester student exchange program. This blog is meant to cover my experiences in a broad sense. I will try to address a lot of the questions that I faced when pursuing this, to try to enlighten other people who are considering studying abroad. I will update this with things that catch me off guard, things that turn out better or worse than expected, and things that are just plain different, in regards to the study abroad. I will also just generally do a fairly normal joural-like blog between the rest of it.

I will also, of course, show lots of pictures. I got a new camera for this trip, and I intend to use it.

If anybody has questions regarding studying abroad in Japan, feel free to ask me. If I can, I'll answer it on here.
