YFU Japan 2008

[serfine1]

[BunnyLovelyy]

What is the song? :D



[tastytassie]

i'm so jealous! i really want to do this! is there a requirement for gpa?

[bollywoodpanda]

Was Japanese high school difficult during the summer, or were you not expected to do much?

[Mrsnickjerryjonas15]

I was wondering if you had another kid around your age in your host family? I was thinking about applying to YFU Japan, but through scholarship, but is it really worth it to just pay it all and secure a spot?

[zomgwtfss]

@Mrsnickjerryjonas15

During my year and from what I saw, if you're a good student and you work hard on the application, you'll get a scholarship!

Good luck!! My trip feels like it happens decades ago...

[monkeymajix]

What an experience!!

That trip must of changed you alot and made you become a stronger person.

The whole class was literally crying along with you, I hope you get to catch up with them in the future =D

[zomgwtfss]

i miss them.

i definitely regret not taping and taking pictures 24/7..

i got to "busy" too. =/

that farewell was really sad too D;

what city did you stay in? it looks like you were in a pretty decent size town.

[zomgwtfss]

I went to downtown Nagano for high school, but my house was in the countryside.

Yeah there were so many moments that I now wish I had taken a picture.

I miss it so much too. Well, we'll go back someday :)

[stryder050]

Im not gonna talk about it er nuthin.its the whole fact that all those people created a tunnel of respsect,friendship,love, and farewell for you at your departure that really hit me. you cant find such an honor in america.great vid. very glad you had a wonderful time!i hope to go to Nippon soon. take care.

I hate seeing you sad. ;_; You should've stayed in Japan. Jenna and I could've dealt.

[lapacow]

I read your blog during the summer. I am trying for a scholarship next year if I convince my mother to let me go. The final day was so sad I was crying too.

[zomgwtfss]

=D I really hope you can persuade her! It took a while with my parents, good luck and be persistent!

and ty for reading my blog... I feel special :3

[NiCo4z3]

1. This is amazing.

2. At 2:27, is that who I think it is? :3

3. Why did you have to use the damn OST from "1 Litre of Tears"?! As if the end of this WASN'T sad enough?!

Just letting you know, I never got to watch this before psychology class (when I commented on your note), so I just closed my laptop and watched it during my bus ride home. I WAS CRYING, YOU JERK. LOL

[zomgwtfss]
