August 24th

So basically it's about a week before I head out to Japan. I have to put a passport-sized photograph on my ISIC before I go...I received my Passport with Visa attached a little while ago (it was a very fast process) and so the most crucial step is now completed. I also have my e-ticket with me now which means that my flights there are 100% ready to go. Now I really need to think about packing: Where is my iPod? Where is my memory card (I want to take pictures when I get there). How many clothes do I pack anyway? (I want less so that I can buy some when I get there) What about gifts? (For my host family...all of them) With one more week to go, it seems as though these will be the more important questions to be answered.
