Re: "Did he arrive safely, DE?"
Whoops. I forgot to check...

Just kidding. Things went swimmingly. His plane arrived half an hour late due to a microburst that forced it to circle, but once he got down he made it through immigration and customs SO quickly that he was on a subway train half an hour earlier than expected. (The subway station is in the airport.) From there, straight to the hostel. He had a great five-hour nap and can stay another two hours before he has to leave. He says the hostel is worlds better than the one he used in DC a few months ago. Big surprise there, eh?

He's got a 20 minute walk from the hostel to his dorm, then he'll have an interview, pay his rent money and get a room. He's very nervous about the interview even though I kept telling him that they aren't going to turn him away NOW. They wouldn't really say what the interview's purpose is, though. Just, "Oh, do not worry, Joey-san." I figure they might be checking to see what sort of a girl he wants as his roommate.

He's checking into the dorm a few days early, so he'll have lots of time to figure out where things are.

He's staying in an off-campus dorm that students from several Tokyo universities use. It's just a 5-minute walk to the school, though, or so he thinks. He'll find out soon enough.

I've asked him to send lots of photos. Maybe I'll bore you guys by posting some of them here.

My son is in San Francisco today, waiting for a 4PM flight to Japan. If it's on schedule, he's probably taking off RIGHT NOW. (Update: I just checked and it left six minutes EARLY. Wow, I didn't think flights ever left before the scheduled time.) Hopefully he'll enjoy his 5 months abroad.

Did he arrive safely, DE?

Hopefully, you have heard from him and he's A-OK.
