Turning Japanese

Arrived in Japan about ten days ago and i have been trying to contain my excitement of finally being here. For as far back as i can remember, i have always been fond of the place, and to actually be here in the flesh, all expense paid at that, makes it even more amazing. I have to thank my sponsor, The Sumitomo Foundation, for this trip of a lifetime.

Of course this is all in relation to my dissertation that is a comparative study of east and west philosophy. I have immersed mysels in Kamakura, Japan. The one place that i have forever been reading about. I explored every inch hoping to take in as much as i can and try to remember every detail. The place is just beautiful. No amount of reading can ever suffice to the actual experience i have had in the last couple of days.

I am eternally thankful for grace.
