Who wants a postcard?

I have made the decision to send a postcard from Japan to anyone who would like one, free of charge! All you have to do is contact me in some way with your address where I should mail it. I do not know specifically when I will be able to send any of the cards of course, so make sure the address you give me is somewhere you will be able to receive it sometime between April and August. As for getting me your information, you can always message me on facebook or you can email me (constablehoward@gmail.com). So if you give me your information, I promise I will send you a personal postcard from Japan sometime during my stay there. I will try to make the postcard from somewhere I have visited or seen or something along those lines (in other words, they probably will not be like the ones in the picture). This is open to pretty much anyone who would like one, so take advantage while you can!

こんにちは!


Welcome to my blog about my travels through Japan! I'm going to be studying abroad at Meiji Gakuin University for about 4 months, and then some. It's located in a small town called Totsuka, which is actually one of the many wards of Yokohama. And according to Wikipedia, Yokohama is the 2nd largest city (by population) at night time, but its "daytime population" is only 3rd largest. Crazy. Tokyo, of course, is always 一番 ("ichiban" - "number one!"). Zane knows what I'm talking about.

Anyways, I will let my pictures from the trip make up most of the blog's content, but I will include captions and stories as well for your enjoyment.

I leave on March 31st, so keep on the lookout for my first post from Japan.
