I won the Japan-American Friendship Scholarship! Isn't that great?
On June 12th I will be flying out to California for the JAFS Orientation. The orientation lasts till the 15th which is when I will be flying to Japan. I will be there for six weeks and will return to the states on July 27th.
I am so excited! I cannot wait! I wonder what it is going to be like.... :3
I dont know where in Japan I am going yet. I have concerns relating to the tsunami that recently occurred in Japan. My heart goes out to Japan and all those affected by the disaster. I am most worried by the nuclear power plant and how that has/is/will affect the country, the people and the environment. I know that I will have to be careful while there. I know that due to this natural disaster I am not going to be placed within 100 km of Fukushima Plant, nor in Ibaraki, Iwate, Miyagi or Fukushima prefectures. Of course, My thoughts are with those affected by this disaster and wish a speedy recovery.
There are 43 more days till I leave for my trip. I am so excited!
I will post again when I receive more information on my stay, host family and location.
