So yesterday I got an e-mail from Robin (from IIE) that gave an update on all-things-related-to-the-trip, and finally, after much anticipation, the getting-to-know-you part is beginning. JFMF set up a Ning site (Ning is fantastic...I may start using it for everything, and may make up new words for all things Ning-related, like "Ningtastic" or "Ningeriffic"...anyway, you should check it out...for now, I digress). This site will help the 160 of us get to know each other before we head to Japan, and hopefully ease any anxieties people may have about traveling with 159 perfect strangers (one assumes you know yourself well enough to not include yourself in the 160). So, I registered, and am ready to start meeting people.
But...
it's pretty silent in there right now...
Where is everyone? My gosh, I have been checking that thing constantly since last night! Yet another sign that I am obsessed. Sigh.
Wanna check out what happens when 160 Japan-obsessed people are given a forum where they can talk to others who won't tell them to shut up about Japan? Then party on over to the Ning site...if you're not going, you can't post comments (besides, you should be posting them HERE, Skippy), but you can see what the group is up to...

Hi Micky,
If you have a moment you might want to check out the Ning site the June participants have. http://jfmf08.ning.com/ Congratulations on your selection, you have an amazing adventure in front of you!
Elise
I did check it out! Is this Elise that set up the site? I absolutely loved it, and got a lot of info from it. I actually started a Ning site for our group, but Tokyo (Tokyo!!!) had me take it down because JFMF's listserve for the October group is through a Ning site, and they didn't want any confusion. Looks like you were on to a great idea!
