I mentioned going to Japan this summer in my last post.
When I first thought of the plan it was to go for 2 months, but now I’m getting a little scared about being there for so long. I’ve only been at the restaurant for a month and it feels like I’ve been there for forever. What is forever times two?
Right now I’m working hard to save money for the year. I have the money for the round trip tickets to and from Japan. I’m saving for spending money there and the fall tuition for when I return to New York. A semester’s tuition is $2,000. If I don’t spend any of my next paychecks I can save a little more than $5,000, but I’m certain that’s impossible.
I’m going to be staying with a friend for the most part, in Yokkaichi. That’s about an hour away from the closest city, Nagoya, but that’s okay! In New York it’s also an hour to get to the city of Manhattan.
Still, I want to travel the many parts of Japan– is there anyone reading now who will let me stay with them sometime between June 15th and August 10th? Let me know!
