Last week i got a letter from the people to people student ambassador programs people.... and i was utterly confused. The program was supposed to let me go to Japan with some other people.... but it left out the most important thing.... price 8) heres a scan of the letter they sent me (i editted personal info:)):

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

does anyone have any personal expierence with this program? i have til september 7th and i don't know what to do :cry:

Well I've never heard of it before and if I got something like that I would be thinking it was some sort of way to get me to part with my money. :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But if it's well known in America then it's surely worth going to the meeting. I'm sure they would tell you all the info (how much it's gonna cost) there.

Cool, so it's like a retreat but you get to go to another country oO

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I didn't get that, does Canada give stuff out like that?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

btw, Do you get diplomatic immunity? :lol:

Call them. Simple :)

Japan is definately worth a visit, I've been there for 3 weeks this summer and it's just incredible.

 

 

 

Himeji, the peace park, mt fuji, tokyo it's all just incredible.

 

 

 

Very different culture aswell, almost no criminality. and everything is so organised.

 

 

 

It's just completely different and that makes it interesting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also went with a group of students (24) and that's definately a lot of fun aswell. Also went to university's and labs and stuff and I've gotta say that the research they're doing in japan is outstanding, so the educational shouldn't get you bored.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To make it short, japan is surely worth a visit. If I were you I'd definately take this opportunity :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As for the costs of it. Japan is said to be very expensive. True to some extent, but if you want to keep the costs down then you can.

 

 

 

I spend about 450 euro in the 3 weeks I was there (lunch + dinner + water + other small things).

 

 

 

The rest of the costs depend on the places where you'll be staying, but again this doesn't have to be too expensive.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Something you definately need to check is whether you'll receive a railpass. With it you can travel unlimited on all the JapanRail lines for say 2 weeks.

 

 

 

If not, and you have a lot of time without a program it's definately worth getting one.

i got one of those its the real deal but the price is the setback.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

it would be cheaper if you went by urself without the group of losers it says its a good learning experience but you get ripped off

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

JUST GO TO JAPAN forget this thing
