My trip to Japan was amazing. I had a wonderful time wherever I went and because of that I know I’d like to go back some day.

 

Beginning in Japan was somewhat difficult. It was hard to be immersed into a culture so quickly and try to adapt, but over time I grew to find that I liked trying to adapt to Japan.

 

The thing that made living in a Japan great was the host families and their compasion for every aspect of our needs. I loved every single one of my host families, and if I go back there won't be one that I wouldn't want to visit yet again. All in all they did their jobs perfectly right down to making me smile.

 

I loved going to Japan for many different reasons. I loved the scenery, the rolling hills and the clouds just touching the tops of them. I loved Miyajima and its amazing scenery even though it rained the hardest the day we went.

 

I loved the food in Japan and felt like eating nothing else when I got home.

 

Going on this trip made me look at Japan in a very different light. Although they have different customs, and a different language, I had so much in common with every person I met there that I figured I could live there alone one day.

 

I loved Japan, I'm going to go back, and I might even consider living there. Thank you so much!
