File-san! It had all information, rules, schedule, what we need to bring, what's available in the Institute, even a drawing of the electricity plugs in Japan (so that we bring an adapter)
So detailed, so helpful, so useful, made me so cheerful
The program, from August 29th to September 12th
All documents had an English version as well but yeah, Japanese looks cooler (& accurate)

♫ Went to the gate, & guess what! they took my ticket, ripped it, gave me a business class ticket & here you go!
♫ "Eh? What's this?" Lady: "The plane is full, that's why we compensate you with Business Class Seat" "Oh.. ok" & I walked away.
♫ THEN.. "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHH? IT MEANS MY WINDOW IS GONE!!!!"
♫ Do I even know what a business class is? Didn't even think of it! All I want is MY WINDOW!!
♫ Ok nau sit in the waiting place until you enter the airplane.
♫ Found an Asian girl
♫ Me: "Sumimasen, can I sit next to you" (in Japanese) Girl: "Yea, but I'm not Japanese" Me: Oooh sorry XD
♫ Girl: Are you in a program to Osaka?
♫ Me: "EEEEEEEEH?" One of the Participants is HERE!! ♥ Kim-chan ♥
♫ We decided to talk in Japanese, and knew more about each other ^^
♫ Airplane Time, Business Class time! XD
Me no window ToT oh my window!
♫ After a while, I realized that "Since it's business class, after take-off, I might find empty seats, then I can SWITCH"
♫ So yeah, nau know HOW LUCKY you are, enjoy your SEAT!!
Business class is SO WIDE!! *o*
♫ I didn't even try Economy seat in Emirates Airlines before.. directly to this luxury XD

♫ They have Arashi's believe in the plane.. ONLY BELIVE go away!! I have my laptop here X"D
♫ Nau open your laptop to watch Bokura ga ita anime so that you watch the movie in plane!
♫ I checked in the website before, they said there is Bokura ga Ita.. but I didn't check in plane yet, I was so sure it's there.
♫ Spent my time in plane watching.. then.. OMG anime is still not ending! Will just ignore anime & watch the movie!
♫ The screen in plane is soooooo tempting!! CINEMA-SAN!!
♫ Search for Bokura ga ita movie in plane.. nothing.. eh? eeeeeeh?
♫ Ignore bokura ga ita forever! ignore cinema screen!! just watch arashi & sleep X"DDDD
♫ Open your laptop again & watch Arashi concerts ♥
♫ Move your seat, make it like a bed & SLEEP! *O*
♫ Me was so excited I couldn't sleep, only 2hrs X"D
♫ Food was so luxurious that I couldn't eat it.. bcz bread was full with NUTS! (me nuts-allergy) Gimme my economy-class bread!
♫ I actually wasn't hungry.. hv no idea why! <<< u'll read this a lot
♫ Toilet in business class is BIG!!! X"D Can't believe I actually used a toilet in a plane! never did that before!
♫ Almost there! Guess what, I didn't open my window cover bcz everyone else isn't! I thought that we're still not there!
