The Adventure of Life

I thought that I would try out this whole blog thing, so that all of you out there can know what is going on in my life. Things have been pretty crazy these past couple of months. I finished up school in Rexburg and went on a last fun trip called Spring Summit with the school. It is a trip where you go down to southern Utah for a month of fun in the desert; hiking, survival, backpacking, whitewater rafting, mountain biking, and canyoneering. The trip created some of the best memories of my life. The group of people that I went with were amazing and now they are great friends that I cherish. I learned a lot about my self and the people around me. What is important and what is not.
The day after summit I flew out to Japan to do my internship working for the Navy as an MWR employee as a recreation specialist. I work with kids taking them out into diffrent parts of Japan rockclimbing, surfing, sailing, snowboarding (yes there is an indoor snowboarding hill here, so cool), wakeboarding, rafting, canyoning, and much more. I have learned a lot while i have been here, not only about hard skills like surfing and sailing but about the people and the Japanese culture. The Japanese people are amazing, there are over 120 milling people that live in a space the size of California! They are maticulisly orginized and clean. there is a job for everything here and every job has their own uniform, its so crazy cute. They love cute and cuddly things like hello kitty and they are obsessed with American Pop Culture, its kind of funny. The people are some of the most gracious, kind, and loving people i have ever met. They will go out of their way to help you if you are lost or confused about what to do ( I have first hand experience in this). As far as the land goes it is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. It has the beautiful ocean, grean lush forest, and everything in between. If I had the oppertunity I would live here for the rest of my life. It is truely a great place.
