The Latest From Tokyo
Authored By:
Greetings from Tokyo!
I suppose I should give it a rest on the photos...so that I can get some rest...but I know, as a parent, how much the parents of the CIEE participants probably like seeing photos, so I can't seem to help myself!
I actually like to write but, once again, I've decide to just get the photos up as soon as possible. If I wait until I have a lot of time to write, it could be awhile, so please accept these photos with short explanations for now.
Enjoy!
