Answer 2

www.yfu.org. i went with them, free to go. won a scholarship and spend 2 months there. Best summer of my life.

I was in Naha and it was awsome. It is amazing studying abroad. Japan is a lot of fun. The people are sweet and curious. The kids are in all honesty a little imature but want to be friends.

IT was hard sometimes, like not speakin a word of japanese and almost no one speaking my language. it got lonely sometimes but i was alawys surrounded by friends. I did sleep 6 inhes from my host mom and THAT took a long time to get used to. Be ready for all your privacy to be thown out the window.

if you go you will not regret it!
