Hey, Chris here. I just created this blog a few days ago in order to record what happens in the next few months. But for those of you who may have no idea what's going on, I figured I should start from the beginning.
In this story, the beginning was in the fall of 2009 where Zack and I started as freshmen at Columbia University. We were both studying physics and became friends. Later on in the year, we both began to apply for internships, and met Professor Tomo Uemura. Professor Uemura told us that he was looking to take a few interns on a worldwide trip to study physics and learn about how physicists work in the real world. A few days later, Professor Uemura asked both of us if we would be interested in going on a University sponsored trip to Canada and Japan. Naturally, we were both incredibly excited to go. Now, the departure date has been for July 14th, and we are preparing for the trip. I have set up this blog in order to record our travels and adventures. Hopefully, we will also be able to give some advice to people going to Japan, as we will be there for a month.
So thats pretty much the situation. We will try to update with information up to and through the trip with our adventures. See you soon.
