Going to Japan

So I have my ticket, waiting on a few loose ends but getting ready for 1st September. I will take off on a 16hour ride, going to Shanghai, then Tokyo. Then go down to Hiroshima by train. I will meet up with my friend Ryo, I met here in the hostel I work; American Backpackers. We travel back the same time, but he will get there one day before me. I will be able to stay somewhere for free to sleep, and get a gift from the war for my cousin Amanda who is studying history for MUN. Then I will train all the way down to Miyazaki, to see my friend Yasuki!! I cannot wait to get there and live my dream.
