22 ~ Abroad in Japan—My Japanese New Years

This video is a bit of a collage of the past few weeks during vacation and some clips from after vacation. Some footage (sushi restaurant and bonsai) was taken by Mathieu, please thank him! He treated me to sushi for my eighteenth birthday. =]

These clips are in no particular order, so you're in for some karaoke, temples, gymnastics, well... you'll see it all!

I hope you enjoy, and I apologize for the lack of videos. For about two weeks I wasn't able to use YouTube because of an internet issue. However, I should be able to from now on resume making one video per-week on average.

I wish I could go, it looks so much fun! Do you know how much the scholarship covers and is it hard to get chosen?(CIEE)

[Juchaeh]

@ninjakid165 The CIEE scholarship for high school abroad is up to $1,000. It's probably quite easy to get chosen, but the amount you receive completely depends on how well you've portrayed yourself through your written essay and application. I was fortunate enough to get $800 from the scholarship, which helps, but doesn't cover much in regards to the entire tuition fee.

Yay, new videos! I will be looking forward to them. Also, I noticed you subbed to QuickRhino, I've been watching his videos for a while too. He's so hilarious!

[Juchaeh]

@ameh01 Yeah, it'd be awesome to meet him! I've had some good memories watching his videos at midnight on school nights. So hilarious.

Um... question out of the blue. I was wondering if it was easy to adjust to Japanese school during the middle of their school year ? Because I might go to Japan and I was wondering when the best time to go and attend Japanese High School. I like your videos and they are fun to watch !
