Wow! I'm sure this video will take you back from your excitement to going to Japan. I was totally clueless back in high school so I never thought about doing an exchange program but now that I'm in college I'm definitely going to do the study abroad in Japan! :D
Hi Katrandom. :-) Its me Justin. I was just wondering out of curiosity ut have you now returned to the US from Japan? It has already been one year. Just wonering. I am currently in New Zealand.
Sorry - I think you have misunderstood! I haven't even gone yet. I'm still in the States. I will be going this coming August (2009). I made this video a year ago, saying that I wouldn't go for another year :) yea i started the whole video thing a little bit early....
*raises hand* Is guilty for trying to find every possibly thing about exchange to Japan. Lol xDD
It's so cool that you're going. I looked into ciee and many other programs and I have a question. Why did you choose them? Sorry for asking lol. Please do one on school life when you DO go! I think that's the part that worries me the most lol just how different /or if it's that differnt/ it is. nice video and CONGRATS on getting to go lol
and i just wanted to say, that since your probably already accepted, and i assume that your leaving next august,
i would say, that you should specify to them if you want to be near tokyo, and also the siblings, because if you want a host sister, and are worried about living with a brother
my first family had no kids, and even though i have a host sister now, i also have a host brother just 2 years older
also i forgot, also if you have a problem with being in an all girls school, tell them that now, i didnt even think of that possibility, and now i've gotten used to it, but it's still a little disappointing. you just have to tell them before you get your visa, or your stuck, chances are they will use my school again to host students
heya, good luck in Japan next year! Talk to me on aim or Skype etc if you have any questions (rickyruffle)! I'm going to make a video over Christmas for sure. But before going I was planing on making them very frequently, not once every 3 months. Just remember that while you're here you're going to be busy with schoolwork and when your not doing that, make the most of it. One major thing; don't stay too attached to people back home or else you'll miss out on all the new people you can meet here.
awesome! thanks a lot, I've traveled a lot so homesickness won't be a problem. I will definitely stay in touch because I have plenty of annoying little questions :) again - thank you!
well... I won't be leaving until mid or late August I believe :) yea a long time to go, but I find out who my family is in January ( I hope) so that's the next "event" that is Japan involved. Can't wait!
I cant wait to see your videos. I was thinking about doing an exchange program to japan,and id like to see what its like! Ill definitly watch all your videos and sub!
How are you Austrian-American. Which of your parents are American and what country were you born in. Just asking. Im a Filipino-American born in the US
don't die of excitment (did I spell that right) before you go. Just that you know, I will (ofcourse) watch ALL you video's. An I will probably subscribe, because I care about my dear cousin at the other side of the world. (or should I write: beloved, most handsome, incredible cousin, no I think dear is just right)
Jeees, one year away, but we already have a long-distance-relationship :P...
I can understand your excitement! I was doing the exact same thing a year ago, looking at other peoples blogs in japan, japanese blogs and whatever. Now I'm in Japan for a 1 year study abroad doing the same thing!
I've only been in Japan for 3 weeks, but you'd like to see what I've been up to, you are more than welcome to take a look at my channel!
Good luck! You're gonna love it here especially if you're going to be near Tokyo AND with a host family.

Wow, your really lucky.
I actually have a ciee booklet thing in my room that my friend got me from a college thing...
It's too expensive, so I couldn't go. But you're really lucky :)
txmmj 2 years ago 4
aww thanks!
actually, I was REALLY lucky because I applied early enough to get the old price! which wasn't 14000 yet....
maybe you can find a scholarship? because a year abroad can be really life changing... :)
