Things are winding down now here at KIT, only one week left to go. Because of that, we're starting to be thinking more about our travel plans after the program. A few of us are going to a music festival called Nano-Mugen. It's a two day music festival featuring Japanese and English bands in Yokohama, near Tokyo, that I believe the band Asian Kung-Fu Generation started. That band is basically the only Japanese music I know, and I only know it because Xander showed it to me before we left for Japan. The band is pretty good, but it's really hard to understand their lyrics. The concert should be a lot of fun, although the tickets were pretty expensive. We're only going for 1 of the 2 days, and it still cost us close to 100$.



After that, the plan is to go to Sapporo to visit one of our Japanese teachers and friend from RIT, then go back to Tokyo for the remaining time. Hopefully sometime during my stay in Toyko I'll get to visit Akihabara and climb Mt. Fuji, but it's not set yet.
