Trip to Japan

The last year or so, I have been wanting to go to Japan and what better way to do it than making a language trip out of it. So I have decided to jump on a plane in the beginning of April and stay there for 4 weeks. Today I talked with my boss about it and he said that it was okay that I took the time off - SCORE! So I guess I'll be going to Japan :-) It is probably going to be expensive so I am going to apply for some grants to see if I can't cover the trip and language school. I also think I will try to find one or more host families I can live with while I attend school. What better way to practice some Japanese than with a family?? I can't wait to tell all the people I know in Japan about it :-) Maybe they know somebody I can stay with.
