My Year In Japan

From October of 2000 until July of 2001, I was an exchange student at Kobe University.  Every day of my time in Japan was an incredible experience that I will never forget.  The pictures displayed on this site are from all the places that I had the opportunity to visit.  In the interest of space, I am only able to put a smaller version of the pictures on the website.  If anyone would like the full, non-compressed file of any pictures, please e-mail me at smithn293@netzero.net .   Enjoy!
