Hi, I don't really know where to put this... but I'm going to apply to be a Rotary Exchange student to Japan this upcoming year. So, I thought you would be a good pal for me XD I'm in Rotary district 7280 (NW PA) I was wondering how easy it was to get your first choice country? [Doesn't want to apply if she isn't going to go to Japan] Your help would be very appriciated ^__^

Cool... Thank you so much! I want to be an East Asian Languages Major, so... I hope that makes things so it's impossible to deny me. My Rotary club has never sent anyone before, but I'm not sure how many the district have sent.
One more question-- (I don't want to question you to death, I intend to read your journal as a help >_>) How much did it cost you total to go? Thanks ^^;;

about $5000+ just to go really. tickets, insurance, preperation, rotary trip/tours, etc. then more for when you are here (japan is VERY exspencive) but since im a poor bum i got a lot of funding from my home club and you get $100month allowence from sponser club.
good luck ;D

Wow O_O Althought, I do know how expensive Japan is...I went to Japan for a 7 and 1/2 week summer program in 2003 and in that time I speant about 1,400 dollars. XD [Might have been the fact I didn't find out about Book Off until close to the end of my stay >_>]
