Essay Research Complete

Thank you to everyone who helped me over the last 47 Days.  The people I have met throughout this process have been amazing.  Each of them has touched my life and I hope they will touch the lives of many more once the documentary is complete.   I am now back in the states completing my research essay for graduation on August 1st.  As for the documentary, it is post graduate work and my life long goal.  I will continue interviewing people interested in being a part of the project.  Please contact me at here if you would like to be a part of history.

Shinjuku till the end...

I can't believe a month and a half of traveling has almost come to the end.  I have met so many great people and seen some awesome things.  I am so grateful for all I have experienced and for those lives that have touched my heart and my soul.   Update:  I have interviewed 25 people/families.                 I have traveled from Miami to Los Angeles & then Tokyo to Kyushu & back to Tokyo.                  Cities traveled to in Japan: Aichi Dotonbori Fukuoka Gion Hakata Hirakata Kyoto Kyushu Nagoya Namba Osaka Sanjo Shibuya Shinjuku Shinsaibashi Sonogi Tenjin Terramachi Tokyo  Yokohama Yokosuka With that being said I will be here until Monday morning if you are still interested in being interviewed while I am in Japan.  I am in the Shinjuku area of Tokyo.  Please email me if you are interested in being in the documentary either in Tokyo before I leave, in South Florida or via online.  

Yokohama adventures

I have spent the last few days in the Yokohama and Yokosuka areas.  It's been wonderful exploring the area with a friend from Miami who lives in this area now.  Chinatown was gorgeous.  The bay off of Yokosuka had an unbelievable amount of jellyfish migrating.  It was amazing to watch.   Then I had the honor of interviewing a musician named Winton.  He gave such a great interview.  I feel fulfilled as I head out in the morning to go back to Tokyo. Less than a week left on my research trip.  If you would like to be interviewed before I leave please email me.

Made it to Mie prefecture; Nagoya and Aichi.

   I left Tokyo Friday , July 6 to head towards Nagoya.  While waiting to meet up with my friend I enjoyed the area around Nagoya train station as well as Noritake Garden.  I will be here until tomorrow and then I will head to Yokohama.   Constantly on the move has been super interesting and new for me, but the experiences I am having are worth all of the hassles.
