She's Coming!!!!!!!

Yes folks my baby sis will be arriving in the land of the rising sun in less than 40 minutes as we speak. I can't wait!

I have been anticipating this day like crazy for hmmm... say two and a half months! So now there won't just be one Haitian trying to solve the jigsaw of the Japanese mind, but two! Although, she'll only be here for a week (her spring break), we'll definitely try to wreck havoc. ;)

I am absolutely so grateful that she's getting the opportunity to visit me here. I consider the both of us blessed beyond measure. Myself for having the opportunity to live and work here and my sister for being able to travel and expand her view of the world. You see, this is her first time leaving the western hemisphere and I'm going to be able to witness her reaction to her first exposure. She'll finally be able to see just how small our world is in Miami. And hopefully, maybe, she'll grow to want to explore the world more and make it apart of her domain. Oh, Lord, thankyou SOOOOOoooo much for this wonderful blessing.

Okay, enough with the mushy stuff. Here is what our schedule looks like for the upcoming week. (Note: I'm going to be taking off FIVE days of work. wahoo!!!!!!)

Today (Friday)
Pick her up at the airport and take her directly to a JET's party in Mito! We're having a changeover party for the new council of my prefecture and I have to be there because I've been elected social coordinator. (Hmmm..... we'll see how that goes ;). I've got mad plans.)
Note: This plan is a recipe for disaster. There will definitely be no sleep tonight. Thus, I told D to get AS MUCH sleep as she could on the plane. ;) It's party time! As for myself, I did a lot of sleeping this week to be able to perform my best for tonight!

Saturday
Previous Plan: Was going to take her to the sites in Tokyo, but decided against it this week.
Current Plan: Waking up in Mito. Then heading to my town, Hasaki (this'll be the first time she actually sees my apartment ;). but not for long though, cuz we're mostly going to be out on the road ). We'll have lunch with my Japanese family (Saeko and Masatugu). Then chill in the afternoon. She'll prob want to rest a bit from the night before and adjust to the time change. Later we'll have diner with my Brazilian friends.

I'm excited that she'll get to meet them all!

Sunday:
A day of site seeing in Tokyo!

Monday:
Off to see the big buddha and many other cool sites in Kamakura!

Tuesday-Thursday:
If you come to Japan, one almost "has" to go to Kyoto. To tell you the truth, I'm not all that attached to the place, but I can't deprive my sister of the experience because of that.

Friday:
Playing doge the deer in Nara! We'll see tons of them as well as the world's largest sitting buddha! Or is it the largest wooden buddha? I can't remember. I'll tell you what it is when we get back.

Saturday:
We're going to zip it back to Hasaki and the world's coolest sister is going to do my hair. Yey for sisters that can do hair!!!!!!! If we're done in time, I'll take her to Mito again and we can party out her last night there.

Sunday:
A relaxing morning. After which I'll be taking her to the airport to say goodbye.... :(


haaaa.... after the time it took to write this post... she's here folks!!!!!
