いらっしゃいませ　（Come On In!）

Hello friends and welcome to my blog. My name is Joshua Wheeler and for about one semester I traveled to Japan's frosty northern Island of Hokkaido. There I studied and traveled and made notes of the journey. The tales of my adventures and woes are all here on this site so pour yourself a nice hot cup of green tea and pull up a chair while you read the Redragon's tales of Japan.

For those who stuck with me and read all those posts, thank you. However, I feel like there's no point in really going on detailing past events or going off on Portland vs. Sapporo. Instead, I'm back in P.Town studying at Lewis and Clark Co. and studing for my B.A. degree. For this trip I'd like to thank 1st Lewis and Clark Oversea's program for offering the program; 2nd for Hokusei Gakuen University for hosting the program; and third my parents who helped me financially to go participate in this program... Thanks guys!

As for blogging, I've gotten some exellent experience in posting and writing. Someday I'd like to start blogging again, but I think i'll wait until I get a new idea or embark on a new adventure. Maybe on this blog you'll see a link to r3dinthailand, r3din(exotic country), or r3dsailingthepacific whatever it'll be, expect a new theme and a new blog detailing my adventures abroad. For now, I'm taking a break.

So to everyone... here's my blog... check out the links, the webalbum, previous blogs from Day 1 to now. See you around!
