Better news!

Sam leaves tomorrow! The weeks flew by and the day has come to say good-bye but the next time I'll see him we'll be in Japan.

Now the better news...
The University Sam will attend in Japan is called Kyushu Institute of Technology. They contacted him once again regarding his arrive. Previously, they instructed him to be on house arrest for 7 days because of the H1N1 scare but things have changed. Now, they have provided him a hotel miles away from campus for only 3 days but they instructed him to take his temperature 3 times a day & someone from the University will call him everyday to check on his vital signs. On the 3rd day they will send over a doctor/nurse to give him a full check up & if his vital signs are good then he will be relocated to the graduate housing (aka dorms) on campus. I have one word: Hypochondriacs!

I thought I share a map I found on the web.

Kyushu is where Sam will be residing. It's pretty far from Tokyo but it's only a 5 hour train ride.
