This summer my chem. teacher offered kids in my grade to take a trip to Tokyo for 3 weeks next summer. The first week will be spent with a host family in Chiba, Tokyo. The last 2 would be spent sight-seeing in southern Japan. This seems like a great opportunity and I'd love to go but it costs roughly 3000$ and my parents told me I'd have to pay half. So I'd be paying around 1500$ depending on whether or not my uncle chips in a little. And since I'm a junior in hs I'm not exactly loaded, basically it would cost me most/all of the money I make this winter. So my questions for you guys are...
1. Have you taken similar trips with your school before?
- How was it?
-Was it worth it?
2. If you were given this opportunity would you go?
3. Have any of you been to Tokyo/S. Japan?
-How was it?
*The 3000 includes everything, transportation, housing, etc. except spending money.
All serious replies are appreciated,
thanks.
