One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

my first trip to Japan in 2005. It was a 2 weeks stay in Japan where i met people from all over the world and who ive been in touch since then and ive met some of them 6 years later here in Japan. That trip was a program (scholarship) for students of japanese language and we traveled a lot within Japan (Kansai and Tokyo), a weekend home stay and some classes. A lot of fun, expereinces and friends.
