Hello, or should I say, konnichiwa! I’m starting my year on the JET program, and therefore I will be in Tokyo for orientation from evening August 1st through the morning of August 4th. I’ll be staying in the Keio Plaza hotel in Shinjuku. After that I am off for Aomori City. I would love to see some of y’all in person! I know there are at least a few Japan-based dopers near Tokyo. Would a dope-fest be possible? I sure hope so. I know it’s kinda last minute… Gomen nasai (Sorry) If it doesn’t work out, then maybe sometime in the future. I’ll only be a (expensive) train ride away, haha. ---

Well, I’m leaving for Aomori City in 1 hour. It was nice meeting all of you 😛 Hope you enjoyed orientation **lynkster**. We’ve probably bumped into each other. I’m guessing you haven’t checked the dope in the last 3-4 days. -10 doper points! Anyway, better luck next time. じゃね！(Bye for now)
