Share our Excitement & Join our Journey

Welcome to the travel blog of Rotary District 5580's Group Study Exchange (GSE) Team which will embark on an exciting five week goodwill / vocational exchange to Nagoya, Japan in November, 2009.

Here, our hybrid American-Canadian team of enthusiastic and adventurous young professionals, along with our lovely, talented and fearless team leader, will share cultural experiences and engage in unique vocational learning opportunities.

If you have come to this site, you are likely: a Rotarian, family member, friend or colleague of one of the team members, or... are just plain blog-curious. Either way, we encourage you to check our site often to learn about us, follow our progress as a team and of course, keep in touch as we explore Japan.

We thank Rotary in advance for the adventure of a life time and to all readers, we invite you to share our excitement and join our journey.

Sincerely,

GSE Team Japan 2009

We made it! Hightlights from our Travels...











After three flights including one that was just about 14 hours, we have landed at our destination, Nagoya, Japan. We were welcomed by a whole crew of Rotarians who we ended up spending the evening with. Tomorrow, the presentations begin.

    So glad that you made the trip to Japan in a timely fashion and are enjoying your stay in Nagoya. Looks like we might have to upgrade our GSE welcome dinner when the Japanese team visits Bemidji next spring. Brats and baked beans seem to pale in comparison to the feast that you received upon arrival in Japan. Really enjoy your photos!
    Warmest regards
