SHAZ N REB ON THEIR WAY!

Ive been looking forward to today for ages. sharon and rebecca, two mates from home, will arrive at narita this afternoon. im on my way to narita now. the shink has just emerged from the gunma tunnel and once again im suprised that there is no snow at all on this side of the mountains. there are quite a few cherry blossom trees around so i hope they are in bloom in tochigi so s&r can see them.
theyve got a busy two weeks ahead of them. first tokyo and tochigi. then toka before matsumoto and kyoto. theyll then go onto hiroshima and then make their way back to tokyo via osaka. and theyre doing it all by themselves! i think thats pretty brave of them. im a bit worried theyll have trouble with language, but the japanese are so friendly and welcoming that im sure theyll be fine.
i hope theydo have a great time so they go home and persuade everyone else to come over!
