Ja Matane, Japan!

It is hard to believe that our trip is already coming to a close.  We have been here in Kobe, Japan for about 10 days now and have done so much within that relatively small time.  I feel like I have learned a lot on this trip; it has also reaffirmed to me how much I still have to learn. 

We had a great time in Hiroshima yesterday.  Going to the museum and seeing what has become known as the "A-Bomb Dome" was a very somber and evocative experience.  It was particularly powerful when we stopped to listen to one of the survivors that was volunteering there yesterday.

Today is going to be a very bittersweet end to our trip as we have our farewell party with our friends at KGU.  I am definitely planning to come back to Japan and visit (and hopefully get some karate training in Okinawa) in the future.

I wish our fellow students at KGU luck with the rest of their schooling, their rotations, their license exams, and their future careers.  I hope to meet again in the future.  Until then, ja matane!
