japan background

i guess i should give a bit of background before i start into our trip.  my trip to japan, aka wharton japan trek 2013, was organized by 14 students in my mba program who are originally from japan.  these students offered to show us around the country and organize all of the details of our experience.  they are super organized and great ambassadors for their country.  the trip is extremely popular and they can only accommodate 150 students.  in fact, the trip sold out in under one minute.  the next few days of posts will describe my experience in japan.
