My story starts in 2004. I was finishing up classes related to my major in Computer Science, but I still needed a semesters worth of general credit before I could graduate. I initially attended a 2-year university to save money, so once I transferred to the 4-year university I only focused on my major classes as I had no minor requirements to fill. I missed out on the standard college life by the path I had chosen, so I wanted to do something special to end my time in college. Starting from the first year of college, I had attended a Japanese animation club, which had seriously cultivated my interest in Japanese culture as a whole. Once I put the desire to visit Japan with my current lack of credit, I decided to check with my study abroad office to see what they offered. I kept a log of the whole study abroad process from start to finish, so you can enjoy the process as it happened. |

The author provides glimpses of portals for discovering the wonders of the human spirit. Spanning six decades, the book reveals the excitement and personal fulfillment that comes from openness to experiences. Moving from the cold, vast isolation of Wyoming’s ranching life, the author, through enduring realizations as a perceptive world traveler, emerges as a sophisticated observer of people, cultures, and aesthetics. His enthusiasm for the adventurous aspects of life takes the reader through time and space to some of the most enchanting places and exotic events in the world. Adolescent experiencing of Wyoming of the 1930’s emerges into heart-warming stories about post-war Japan.
A brief look into the mind of a young psychiatrist alone and frightened with a widely psychotic man blends with frightening adventures in Communist Yugoslavia and the southern Jordanian desert. A visit on the scaffolding in the Vatican’s Sistine Chapel during the restoration of Michelangelo’s masterpiece interplays with the richness of dance and temple life in Southeast Asia and a princely wedding in India. In the volume the narratives become a medley of serendipity, humor, telling pathos, the enjoyment of difference, and a testimony to the gifts that human encounters offer. The author’s wonderment about events that happen takes him on a brief exploration of the origins and the sense of the uncanny, serendipity, and the awesomeness of spiritual experience. |

This volume about Japan is from 1917.
From the book's Foreword:
Anyone who has enjoyed the rare experience
of making the tour of Japan, will advise all
others making it for the first time to remain "as
long as possible." Japan is a most gratifying
vacation ground and "lives up to its reputation."
It has a mighty reputation to maintain, because
its praises have been sung by westerners since the
first one set foot on Nippon's soil — and before.
Marco Polo did not visit Japan, but he whetted
the imagination of Europe concerning it when he
related what he had heard. More frequently
than otherwise, the visitor returns to his native
land and enthusiastically recommends the tour to
his friends, associates and acquaintances. Perhaps
he spent a year, a season or a month there. His
friends cannot remain a year and do not care to
travel so far for a month's holiday, certain that
much of Japan's charm could not be experienced
in that brief time. They would not care to cross
the Pacific, merely to gain a glimpse of a few coastal
cities.
How long, then, must one remain in Japan to see
the country, its people and their life?
I have heard the question asked many times and
the books do not answer it. That then, if apology
were required for contributing another volume to
the already existing library upon the subject, would
be mine for the following pages.
Experience proved to me that six weeks, after
the ship docks at Yokohama — where American
passengers usually disembark — is ample time for
seeing and enjoying all that the casual tourist will
care to see. If he follows something like the itine-
rary sketched below, he will arrive back at Yoko-
hama ready to depart for home, exactly six weeks
from the day he arrived at the same port. And
unless he has denied it entrance, the sunshine of
Japan will have lodged in his heart and he will join
the choir that gladly chants the praises of Nippon.
