POSTCARD FROM JAPAN: WHITMAN CHECKS IN FROM GUNMA

Hi Tar Heel Fans,
Brandon Whitman here, a sophomore from Dundee, Michigan. We’re a long way from the States here in Japan, but we’re having a great time as a team. This is going to go a long way for our team bonding. We’re all growing closer and enjoying the camaraderie.
Yesterday, we went on a team hike and reached the summit to see an amazing view of Mount Fuji. A big group of us made it to the top and got some incredible pictures. This country has some amazing views – definitely things that you don’t see back in Dundee or Chapel Hill!
We’ve been eating some traditional Japanese foods and trying different cultural experiences. My favorite food has been the real sushi and ramen. Some of these guys are going to lose a lot of weight, but most of us are being bold! As Bryce would say, you’ve got to get tough.
We’re now in the prefecture of Gunma to stay in a traditional Japanese hotel and train/practice for a few days. It’s great to head to a different culture and get training in that’s different than what we get back home.
