well, rui_rox, let me tell you the ticket will cost you EVEN more...i living in Los Angeles, so I'm just across the Pacific Ocean from Japan...you will basically have to fly west across the entire country before you even arrive at the point where i'm at...so it's definitely a longer flight for you...about 5 and half hours longer.
i went with one friend...if you went with 2 friends, let's say, and split the hotel room charges 3 ways....then I think you could definitely go to japan for 7-10 days for between 2,000 to 3,000
when i went the plane tickets were still relatively cheap and we flew for around 700 dollars roundtrip.
hmm.. i see. well hopefully the college i get into next year will have a study abroad program so i dont have to pay as much. here in florida. if you geta all A's your senior year they pay 100% of your college and if you get all B's senior year they pay 75%

you mean for local colleges & univerisities right? sounds like an opportunity for you...although i don't know how many study abroad opportunities Florida universities have for studying in Japan...there are probably be some but that's usually reserved to the powerhouse public or private universities across the US.
in any event...if you do get the money for college, rest assured it won't count toward study abroad...you'd probaly have to apply for a separate scholarship for that.

download this short clip...you might be interested since you've never been
Japan is fun..4 long yet short years...i remember I threw my brothers shoe over a wire fence, oh oh, and the day when i got my mixed sheba inu! and when i bought 34 boxes of pocky!
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
You really love pocky. You kinda remind me of that one character from Onegai Sensei anime.....that teacher really loves Pocky. Its like all she eats :hehe:
no kidding trick. it also depends on when rox is leaving for JPN. there are time one can get tix to from east coast to tokyo about US$600 or $700 in the off-season. Since it's summertime now, it's about 1400-1600.
Rox, believe tricky when she sez that the cost of fuel has increased exponentially increased to price of air fare. I remember about 3 or 4 yrs ago, there were tickets from LA to Tokyo/Osaka for about $400 or $500.

At least you were able to do that.
13 hrs....haha......forgot how long my flight to vietnam was. We made a stop to Taiwan. That probably took a little over 13 hrs and from there to Vietnam was like 1hr and half...pushing 2 hrs i think.
not much to do...... :sweat: At least I was able to watch Drink Drank Drunk on one of the flight. That was ok.
