Keio Plaza

Got an e-mail from the travel agency that is booking the tickets for JET participants. Not that this didn't feel real before, but now it feels so definite! Once I actually have a ticket for the flight, I'll have real proof that I'm leaving!

I also think that the contracting organizations, or JET leaders are doing most of the prep and dirty work for the visa application. This is good, even if it only means less paper work for me.

Once we get to Tokyo we'll be staying at the Keio Plaza hotel from the 25th to the 28th, then we'll be going to our contracting organization's areas which is different for everyone. It looks like a pretty fancy place... It is in Shinjuku, which is a pretty popular area of Tokyo. Mostly shopping, some businesses, some clubs, dining, etc. Here is the website. http://www.keioplaza.com/index.html
