A lot of awesome stuff!!!!!!

Ok, it is 5:55 pm in Kyowa (a part of Obu) and I have found an internet cafe 3 minutes from the house so YATA! Ok, so lets see, how awesome is Japan so far... hm... OK, lets start! 1: Taking the train to school; Its so cool to walk down to a train station and take a train to Nagoya and get off at that station and walk to the school! 2. I.C. Nagoya; The school is a part of a building but its pretty neat inside. We took a placement test and I am in Class A, the beginning class, but im ok with that because even though i did the online test, I really didnt learn that much... except to identify the Hiragana characters. It was more of i needed the teacher and classroom environment to learn Japanese, so its all good. 3. Being on my own!; I like being on my own! Its like this, after school, I can buy a ticket to the subway and go where ever i want in Nagoya then when I`m done, I find my way back to Nagoya center and go to the train station and ride the train to Kyoowa then walk home through the town. Its just awesome! Ok, Ill come back to this cafe tomorrow and next time have some pictures to share! This is Chase Tyree, signing off!

Everything is Good!

Hey everyone! This is the CTJ (Chase to Japan) update! with your Host, Chase Tyree! Everything is going great so far! Yesterday I met my host family, the Kawahara`s and they are an awesome family! We had lunch at a sushi resturant where it all is on a conveyor belt (fricken awesome!) and we had luch at a western style steak house to celebrate Otousan`s (Fathers) birthday! Today, Otousan, Taiki, and I walked to the train station and took the train to Nagoya to show me where the school is and to have lunch. We also, and this is the best part, we went to the... POKEMON CENTER NAGOYA!!!! Lol, a pokefans dream! It was full of awesome pokemon stuff and was just awesome. I would show pictures but I...well... forgot to put new bateries in my camera before i left to Japan, so once i get some, ill post some pictures. Well, i got to get to bed now! Gotta wake up to catch the train to school =)!!! Lets see if i can use this Japanese keyboard right... おやすみなさい！ Ok, good night!

OOoooOOoooOOOoooOOOo Im in the future!

Its is the night of the 24th, Yes, its the morning of the 24th for most of you. I am in our new "イチケン青年” Or a public house. I would show a picture but until I get new AA batteries for my camera and it doesn't take an hour to upload a video, I will just have to say that it is awesome! Its like sleeping on the floor like most anime's or feudal Japan pictures people see. Its really cool and we are here for 2 nights, tonight and tomorrow night. At 2100, or 9 pm, we are taking a bath so it'll be a new experience.

Oh, and also, we, the most awesome group, the Nagoya group, has decided to team up and post each others blog links on here, so, without further ado, here is 3 other blogs:
