We're Going to See Japan - Japanese Style

The 28 students of Franklin College's Fall 2005 Academic Travel Japan Trip are going to see Japan the way the Japanese see it: fast, full, and fun. We will be travelling from Lugano, Switzerland to Narita/Tokyo on Saturday October 15, 2005, and returning on Friday, October 28.

The co-leaders are FC librarian Susan Gilfert, who has lived and worked in Japan, and FC Assistant Professor of International Communications Read Schuchardt, who is going for his first time.

This blog is dedicated to the trip, and to the experiences, memories, images and words that the students post before, during, and after our adventure.
