ninja!

I'm really getting excited about my trip. I leave on the 20th and it'll be a busy few weeks until then. I'm making an effort to see everyone I can before I go and take care of things you should do before a long trip like go to the dentist and all that fun stuff. So it's gonna be pretty crazy until then.

We have a 2 day layover in Tokyo on the way there and we booked our hostel for it the other night. I'm so stoked. We're going to pig out on sushi and ramen! I love Japanese food. We're also going to check out some shinto shrines. Hopefully we can see an anime while we're there too! Then it's on to Shanghai. From there we'll be travelling up the coast by train to Beijing to see the sights and meet up with a few friends. Then we go to see the Shaolin temple and some buddhist sights before we make our way to the place we'll be training for 3 months.

On a side note a lovely friend made me an adorable little stuffed ninja as a going away gift. It's super cute! Thanks Rhonda.

I'll be featuring this little guy in my travel pictures so you'll see him again.
