Sheryn's in Japan!!

Sheryn arrived safe and sound in Japan yesterday. I even drove to the airport alone to pick her up, which doesn't seem that impressive unless you've driven in Japan. We both made it just fine.
We thought we would keep you updated on Sheryn's impressions of Japan each day since Shane and I have forgotten what things we thought were weird at first. Sheryn has now spent her first full day here. This morning after getting Cailey and Bryant off to Yochien, we (Shane and Isaac too since Shane had the day off) walked to the Yokohama train station to show Sheryn around and go to lunch in a real Japanese restaurant. (The picture is for you Josh, to prove it.)
Sheryn: So far I am having a great time here. The biggest change for me is more from being in a big city than a different country. There are so many people here. The food is definitely interesting, but I did try everything at lunch today. It is interesting how everything is built up, and so close together. The people are very friendly though, and fortunately know more English than my two word vocabulary of Japanese words. I love how green it is, and how all the sounds and smells are different. I am definitely no master of the chopsticks, but I did manage to get my lunch into my mouth, and didn't drop too many things, and don't ask me what I ate, because other than the chicken and rice, I have no idea!
Back to me: We will try to post a few more blogs while Sheryn is here.

Seems like fun! I can't wait to get there myself. Too bad you will be here when we are there. Enjoy your time there Sheryn.

Haha...I'm impressed that Sheryn tried all that food. That's the part I would have a hard time with. I'd have to just live on rice and soy sauce. Have a great visit.
