Hello everyone my name is Richard and I am preparing to leave for Hirakata Japan to study at Kansai Gaidai. I will be there until mid December and I want to use this page to share some fun photos, stories, or anything else I find interesting while I stay in Japan.

So, to send me off my mom put together a going away party for me and my cousin make me this georgeous and delicious sushi cake. My favorite part is how the ro (fish eggs) were represented with orange m&ms. Despite being very ready for my trip I'm still very nervous.
