Arrival

I am here. Finally. It is about midnight and what I really need to do is shower and head off to bed but I will keep you posted on how everything is going so far. Here it is in a nutshell:

*The plane ride was long...10 hours from LA to Tokyo
*I question whether I belong here when the toilet and bathroom door are smarter than me
*I know NO Japanese and that is very scary...thank god for good new friends who are helping and teaching!
*Bowing is important...there are three types of bows...know when each is important, but no matter what, just bow whenever you say anything
*Tokyo is way to busy...I would never want to live here in the city
*Business clothing in Japan means something very different than business clothing in America
*Orientation is alright, however, I am getting tired of sitting all day
*Karaoke in Japan in amazing

I am sure there is more...but it is late.

I will post pictures later
