Japan Recap

So, apart from a few rough times in Tokyo and Narita Hotels, and some defying death on Mt. Fuji, Japan was a blast. ...Ok, maybe Fuji was fun too.
It was definitely awesome to visit 4 of the 5 biggest cities in Japan, visit my Japanese teacher in Sapporo, make tons of Japanese friends and learn a ton of the language.
One thing I wanted to share is this video Amy Kawabata (RIT), Chris Trott (UIUC) and Daniel Soledad (RHIT) made for our culture class in Kanazawa. It's stop motion with a DSLR camera, and Chris made the music for it. Enjoy:
