Personal Writing: Exchange Student In Japan

It was March 15, 1997. The time too early to remember. What was
clear however, was the fact that I was soon going to be on my own in a
country where I did not know the language or the people that I would be
meeting there and staying with. The adrenaline rushed through me as I

almost two hundred miles an hour. It had a dining car, and a playroom for
