I made it! The flight was okay except for the desent for landing (people being thrown into the air, lucky me I had my seat belt on), getting through customs and buying train tickets was easy. And I didn`t miss any trains.

So I have been in Japan for three days, and so far we have pulled 5 tosai ponds. There are a lot of wierd insects that live in the water in Japan. All of the roads in the mountains are still in very poor condition and under constrution. Also today I went to the 4,5,6 & 7 sai mud ponds to refill the auto feeders. So far it has been a lot of fun!

I haven`t taken any pictures yet but I am going to try and take some tomorrow.
