Vlog3

I am finally in Japan ;) As you can see by my pictures it has been more of the same hiking, beach etc... in Hawaii, so I waited to do an official vlog (video blog) with Rewon. We got some really exciting things planned ahead; it's a bit overwhelming. Sorry if I am bouncing like a pinball on topics, I'm a bit sleepy. It's really hitting me now that in a few days I will not be talking in English at all. I have no idea what to expect, living with a host family in a new place with different rules and customs. Am I prepared for this? I'm in a weird state of vaction/frantically reviewing mode. I really wanted to do a vlog back in Hawaii talking about fears. I was gonna do a jump off of a 60 ft rock (the one in the picture is about 25ft I think). It was pretty scary--if you don't go on a calm day and aim where you are jumping, you could literally die (there was even an engraving to mark where some died). You can only prepare so much and at some point to get to that next level you just got to do it. Suck it up, put your fear or pride aside and just jump. I wasn't able to do the jump due to the horrible weather, but the point still stands. It may be as simple as taking that first step to talking to strangers with limited Japanese or joining in on an unfamiliar song in a karaoke bar. I need to own the experience. Putting myself into uncomfortable situations where there is no way to turn back is the only way I am gonna better myself.
