[inuboi93]

i might be doing this program (not completely sure yet) can someone describe it to me? i went on the site and found out some info but i probably don't know as much as someone who's been here. so if you could respond that would be great. thx ^^. also, will there be time for souvenir shopping? i really want to bring home something to remember this trip.

[candidomoattack]

i have an interview with them this sunday but i dont know if i want to do this. Ive been to japan to visit family already and it wasnt nearly this expensive and i did so much more...and it seems like a bunch of bonding crap which i hate? i dont know. someone help? :(

[MeAmUsagi]

[DotDotDead]

Favorite parts: the homestay, Mt. Fuji, Tokyo, my P2P groups, not having to worry about anything in America for a few weeks...

Least favorite parts: coming home. Seriously, everything about the trip was fun. Even the language barrier.

[nickjroxsmysoxs]

i was supposed to go to austraia, but i cant!!! so im pretty mad about that:(:(

[pinkmuffinofdoom]

Thanks for posting. =)

I'm going with P2P this summer to Japan, and it was cool watching the videos and seeing it from someone who has been to where I'm going.

So what was your favorite/least favorite parts? =)

[scubadiver1411]

i was accepted to go to the england trip this summer...i'm really excited, but what's it like being away from home for that long? and what song is this, by the way?

[brewdog11]

The song is "Don't Wait" by Dashboard Confessions.

Being away from home for a while is very fun. Just make sure you don't call your parents too often, as it WILL make you very, very homesick. (happened to me on the first trip away from home, which was not with P2P)

[scubadiver1411]

thanks for the song...i have been away from home a week during the summer, and i do remember getting homesick on the first night...i haven't been away for 3 weeks, though.

[vietmikey]

don't you mean the Europe trip ? which includes going to England, France, and Italy... it's 5700 tho. T.T i have to find out how to get that much... haha..

[scubadiver1411]

no i don't. there's about 20 different trips and mine is england, wales, and ireland. i know they're really espensive mine is $6000!

[brewdog11]

Our only problem is that our family is impecunious, so I must prove the worth of the trip to them. I'll definately have to raise the money, though.

N.B. Impecunious- (adj.) poor, without money

[sweetiepie18]

i hope u go to the trip.Going to China seems really cool. I'm not sure yet but im going to have an interview to go to the European Discovery. I hope i get to go one the trip.

if i dont im going to get really depressed for wasting 400 dollars for nothing.

[brewdog11]

Do you really have to pay for the interview? I hope not, because my mom doesn't even have $200 in the bank lol. My dad hid his money before he commited suicide, so we can't find it...

[p2puser]

say WAT???????? i think someone scammed you you DON'T have to pay for an interview

[demonslayer192]

realy? i got the letter in the mail signed up online and went to the meeting and thats when they told us

[demonslayer192]

people to people trip to japan cost more then $6000 and you have to pay $400 for an intervew but after the intervew you might not end up goin anyway..i was sad when i heard this:(

[brewdog11]

Do you really have to pay for the interview?  I don't believe so. They didn't tell us that, though. My interview is quickly approaching, and I can't wait. I will be going to China on the Gateways to China trip. If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask me. (I definately won't be as knowledgeable as Dot here, though.)

[spazzy3092]

you don't really pay for the interview, you pay to apply. it's $400 to apply but if yo are not selected you are refunded everything but the $95 procesing fee.

[greencutie268]

im going 2 japan dis summer!!!!! im so exited (= i cant wait

[PrincessZeldaGirl]

Ive goten invited to ALOT of p2p trips over the years, but, ive been waiting for an Austrailian invite! And I finally got one!!!! so I went to the meeting and got the ap, and stuff, so know I have to raise $6000 in less than a year :o yeah, but Ive never wanted something this bad my entire life, so I think i will make it!!(hope I will)Ive already got 800 saved up :)

[SouthernCowgirl12]

[Libluvzmusic]

[vanityxxqueen]

Dude! Luckyy. I've always wanted to go to Japan! But I got invited to the United Kingdom && Ireland ^^

[gosiaaa01]

thought i was invited to go to japan not europe

well anyways, nice video..i wish i went to japan

[pinkflower14]

I got invited to Japan, my meeting is this saturday (Oct 13) but now I'm just worrying about the money...how much did it cost you to go?

[Cleopatra15]

I got one to go to France, Austria, Switzerland, and somewhere else I forgot in Europe and I am excited to go, it's just that money I have to worry about for 2008! But I would most definently love to go to Japan!

[Cleopatra15]

I remember, it was Italy! How could I forget Italy? Hehe? Yeah it was Italy....

[randalloglesby]

i am becoming very skeptical on my invitation to japan... i have gone to the meeting and everything but i was reading the news i researched on p2p and i found out that it is a profit organization and they buy our names off an acedemic list... they dont care what our grades are!.... my trip is said to cost 6 grand... i still plan on going but i am already dissapointed

[rikuzgirl4lyfe]

hmmm... where do they get the acedemic lists from? [not saying that i dont believe you, just wondering...i'm skeptical also] But ur so lucky you got invited to Japan!! i got invited to the United Kingdom & Ireland.

[mmwdolphin97]

how much do the trips usually cost?

[rikuzgirl4lyfe]

hopefully not much. I'm dying to go to the united kingdom & Ireland this yr. Did you reserve ur spot at the info meeting?

[mmwdolphin97]

[p2puser]

[rikuzgirl4lyfe]

hey your sooo lucky you got to go to japan!! i got invited to go to ireland + the united kingdom. do u know if there visiting japan again soon?

[agoodgirlNOT]

[rikuzgirl4lyfe]

[p2puser]

[faceJE56]

[freespiritedangel]

I was invited to go to Japan in 2008.

I want to know how much it cost you and what process do you have to get through to actually go.

Something about an interview?

What kind of things do they ask?

[DotDotDead]

not this summer, but in the spring i'm going to spain <3...barca, madrid, seville, etc. i'm pumped. its no japan or anything...but expect pictures and videos.

[p2puser]

so no one going to europe? hey dot are you going somewhere this summer?

[DotDotDead]

[brewdog11]

YxJames,

You usually fly American, but I do believe that they sometimes use United. That's what I heard from a friend, but don't take my word for it because I haven't been to the information meeting yet

[YxJames]

[Ichikachan101]

I'm 13 and i was invited to go to Europe for 2008!!!! I can't wait!:D

[mgadentprz]

Dotdotisdead I have a few questions about the offer . First off do they have scholarships? We are very poor. What is the process? I take it first is the meeting. Is this a sales pitch or what. Secondly did you have to get your passport and do the people at People to People? Do the provide you with visas and was there a fee required? Over all how would you rate the experience? My name is Martin.

[PunkGuitarist33]
