Well.... I am in the final stages of my preparation for my Japan adventure. This will in all likelihood be my last post before I take a giant leap into the unknown early next week. I'm sorry to say that I am more scared than excited at the moment. Normally before I travel I feel the complete opposite, but I guess this trip is in a league of it's own. It is making my two months in Türkiye a few years ago look like a long weekend.
My main worries are to do with the language and my job, which it has to be said are going to be pretty major components of the next six months. On the up side, I don't have many little niggley worries that are going to drag me down. In fact, the only one I can think now is that I have to survive the winter without my Vicks inhaler - the only thing I have found that successfully clears my nose when I have a cold. But unfortunately, according to the Japanese anti-stimulant laws, all of Vicks' products are illegal in Japan :-(
Anyway, I better get back to my preparations. See you on the other side.

I am currently taking a year out from education - a rest, you might say, before I embark on a 5-year course studying Medicine at the University of Manchester. However, I am spending the first six months of my "rest" working as a volunteer in a Red Cross hospital in Nagasaki, Japan. The work is hard, my hours are long, but there are so many wonderful things here that are making it all worth while. I hope you enjoy Japan as much as I do.
