Toyama Handbook - Online Edition!
It's summer 2007 and the Toyama Handbook is now entering its third year online. Please bear with me as I attempt to navigate the madness and update all the information we gathered to make this year's handbook all the more useful for you all.
If you find a mistake, or have something you think should be included, please email me at the usual address to let me know.
My utmost thanks to the orientation volunteers who helped with this latest update!
