Anxiously waiting...

Hello! Long time no post! I've wanted to write a post, really I have, but I've had nothing to write about because Rikkyo hasn't given me any information yet. They originally said that we'd be sent an information pack at the start of July, then it got pushed back to the middle of July, and now on July 22nd I still haven't received anything. I'm starting to get a bit anxious with all the organising that still needs to be done for this trip. For anyone planning on going to Rikkyo in future, do not expect them to be too organised.

So what have I done so far to prepare for this trip? Well, not much to be honest. I've bought a lighter suitcase because my old one weighed about 5kg, a new laptop (which is already off being repaired and I have no idea when I'll get it back), and I've bought new shoes because I figure I'll be doing a lot of walking in Japan and my old shoes were falling apart. From what I've heard it's pretty hard to find AU size 9/10 shoes in Japan so I've decided to take more shoes rather than clothes (damn luggage restrictions!). I've yet to do anything important like get travel insurance, but I'm sure once I actually hear from Rikkyo it will kick my butt into gear!

And a side note for anyone else going to Rikkyo in September this year, a facebook group has been started so that we can get to know each other. Here's the link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/482468281844396/

I'll let you know as soon as I hear any information from Rikkyo!
