Starting a blog

It's about 5 days till I leave for Japan. I figure a blog will be the best way for those interested to keep up with my adventures, misadventures, and maybe some of the more mundane happenings of my life there (and those who don't care won't be bothered). Hopefully I'll do a semi-decent job of writing in this blog. And those of you reading, please keep in touch by sending me the occasional email at ritayamin@gmail.com.
