[Informational] Traveling Abroad: Japan (1/3)

I'm leaving for Japan next week ^_^

This is my first time out of the country, and on a flight, so I compiled this video to give information about how to prepare for international travel.

This is part one of three. The video was too long, so I split it into two, and then there is a blooper video ^_^

@TakashiTokugawa haha xD Yeah I was just picking music I liked. At the time I had more Kpop on my pc than anything else. In later parts of the video I finally used a Japanese song lol

I really like the opening song, but why an korean song to an japanese Video?! -_-

(that's not a criticism, don't get me wrong please ^-^)

[KimKey09]

@LaraGoesDreaming Thanks =) I was just picking songs that I like to use in my videos. Most of my music on my computer is either Japanese or Korean, but when I made this video, I hadn't loaded much Japanese music onto my pc yet. So I just picked songs I liked xD I think in one of the other parts of this video I used a Japanese song. haha xD

@Turtlecute92 lol. xD

It's actually my mom's couch. When I came back from Japan, it was gone and there was a new one. The carpet was also gone and replaced with hardwoods...lol Leave the country for a couple of weeks and everything changes O_O

@TohruNoOnigiri yes, it can be rather expensive. If you go through a program at a college, it is a lot cheaper. Usually your tuition is paid to your college, but you exchange with a student from Japan. They pay tuition to the Japanese school, but you go in their place, and they go in yours. However, you also have to keep in mind spending money and money for food and transportation within the cities. It can add up. I didn't spend too much of my own money, but I was only there for two weeks.

@molymolymoly Thank you ! Glad my videos were helpful!

I think that's a great idea! I went with my college. It was only for 12 days because it was what they call "may term." I'm required to take one may term course before I graduate, and I chose this one. I've already been, so if you have any questions just let me know! I am considering going back for an actual semester. I understand money is an issue, it is for me as well. Best thing to do is check in to school aid and loans!

hey! im considering studying abroad in japan, and i really appreciate your vids! i want to go my junior year of college from the university of houston. are you studying abroad from your school? how long are you going? i cant decide on how long i want to go (either summer or semester), and money is definitely going to be an issue...
