Hey everyone just checking in. Not much going on here recently, just the same ole stuff. We started the second half of the semester this past week and I now have cornrows. Thats pretty much everything that is new. I just needed a change because I have had pretty much the same hair for 3 years and I am bored. Anyways I am not sure if anyone actually reads this blog so if you could leave a small message or comment that would be awesome so I can see that I am not just writing to myself.
I Miss You,
Richard H.

Hiroshima
I just returned to Nagoya from Hiroshima yesterday and it was a really fun trip. Seeing the site where the atomic bomb hit was really crazy. We studied that exact place in school for as long as I can remember and it always seemed so foreign, but to be in the area and see it in person was a really wierd thing. It was almost unreal to think about what happened in that exact spot on the earth. Its pretty depressing to think about.
After we went to the museum and saw the dome, we ended up going to dinner and actaully went to a few clubs in Hiroshima. We went to a salsa dance bar and a hip hop club. Even though the hip hop club only had maybe 20 people...it was so fun! We ended up not getting home until 4 and waking up at 6 the next morning to go to Himeji.
We ended up going to Himeji castle which was awesome! It was unlike any other castle I have been to, because it was not restored like Nagoya castle. It is in the same shape that it was when it was in use hundreds of years ago. I thought it was very interesting because of this.
The trip was only 2 days long but it really had an effect on me. It was really cool to see things you only read about in books. I hope I have the opportunity to go to more of these places in my lifetime. Hopefully there will be more to come in Japan as well. I have a few pictures here from Hiroshima, Miyajima, and Himeji.
Enjoy!
Love,
Richie

Hello All!
みんなごめん英語だけ。。。
So I have been living in Japan for a little over 2 months and things couldn't be better. I have met so many awesome people both Japanese and from all over the world. The only regret and that is a could be doing a bit better in school. I might be having a little too much fun but I will be picking it up this next week as it is the start of the second half of the semester. I have been partying, making friends, and having a great time with everyone. I moved to a new apartment about a month ago and I am living on my own now. I really love it, because I am able to have anyone over and I don't have a curfew like I did in the dorms. I couldn't believe that I had one!!
So tomorrow I am heading to Hiroshima for a school trip and I am nervous being an American. I think it will be a very emotional trip and I hope a rewarding one too. I will post some pictures and tell you all about it here in a few days. I have been so behind on updating everyone on anything, because I just got internet here TODAY! Sorry everyone!! I miss everyone back home so much, but I am having a blast here so I can't worry too much. Oh ya my Japanese is improving daily because I am always talking with friends and going to class. Hope everyone is doing awesome and please shoot me a comment or an email on here or facebook or whatever.
I love you and miss you,
Richie
