Like last year, I have to say thank you to everyone for making this trip memorable. I know it was very trying at times, but we all made it through.
Bev, my roomie. It was so much fun shopping with you. I think I spent way too much this year. It was worth it though. I already developed the pictures including the ones I took for you. I'll get them to you as soon as I can. I can also put them online on Flickr if you want. Also, thanks for putting up with my passiveness. I know it can be a little irritating when I say "I don't care" and "Whatever, it doesn't matter."
Rei, the prepared one. You always had what someone needed for any mishap. Whether it was tissue, cough drops, or even an extra hand bag, you would just pull it out of your bag. What else were you hiding in that bag? You're so kind and thoughtful. That's why all those elderly people would talk to you. I would always look down so they wouldn't talk to me. I'm sorry about the incident in Yodobashi Camera. People can be so rude. Wasn't the sentou great? It's one of my favorite things to do to relax. Hopefully you get to go to the Tokyo trip. It's not as stressful as this trip was.
Aaron, Charlie and Travis, ninjas in training. More like ninja school dropouts. I didn't get to spend much time with you guys. You were too busy with your other plans.-Aaron, Mr. Comedian. Always making jokes. Hai Dozo (はい どうぞ). I think that's is one of the things I'll remember you saying throughout the trip.
-Charlie. What happened to you this year? You weren't as excited as last year. I thought we were going to hang out more.
-Travis, my guest. Thanks for buying those fireworks. I forgot about it last year and made it a point this year to do it. So, what about next year?
Yoko. Thank you again for volunteering to show us around your hometown. I can't believe you would go through all this just for us, you're too kind (^_^). I want to go back! Kushikatsu, takoyaki, okonomiyaki, and omu-rice! (T_T) I miss them already! Thank you so much for making the hair appointment for me, Bev, and Rei. I want to cut my hair in Japan every year from now on. Also, thank you for finding that sentou. I really needed it after all that walking and stress. You're a very giving person and I appreciate everything you have done for me during the trip.
Jayson. Thank you for putting this course together. I know that this year was more difficult even though we had less people. Who would have thought that the heat would cause so many problems. Even I was affected by the heat. I was very irritable because of it. Even though we were all complaining, you still got us to keeping going. I really want to go back. Eight days isn't enough time for a course like this. I think it would be easier to separate the two into two different courses (traditional Japan as one course and modernity in Japan as another course). Thank you for introducing me to Taishuengeki. I want to watch more. I hope you will let me go on more of these trips in the future. I will be graduated by the time the next course comes around.

It may not have showed, but I was so excited about this year that my emotions went passed the physical and into the spiritual realm. I no longer had to force myself to have fun because every moment was as exhilarating as the next. This time around, I was more comfortable in my own skin.
