An Amazing Trip

My time in Japan has come to an end and I am so grateful for the memories and friendships I have made.  The most rewarding aspect of this trip was the presence of the faculty and students on our sightseeing excursions.  It was so kind of them to join us and they truly made us feel at home.  I enjoyed getting to know the students and have made some amazing friends.  The sightseeing was very rewarding as well because I liked getting to immerse myself in another culture and experience their beautiful country.  I was most surprised by the climate in Japan.  I was told beforehand that it would be hot and humid, but I didn't fully grasp this idea until we were there.  I expected it to be hot, but it was far worse than I would have thought.  Luckily, I was able to find methods to help cool off throughout the day and packed enough lightweight clothes for sightseeing days.  Overall, this was a memorable trip that I will cherish forever!
