Incredible

The most distinctive part of this program is the people you meet. Everything from the support staff, fellow participants and the Japanese people you meet along the way. Particularly the host family's. I've made connections for life with multiple family's and experienced a part of the Japanese culture most people know nothing of. I especially enjoyed the food and the surrounding culture alot. All the connections I've made, not just in Japan, has made me alot more motivated to travel and study Japanese. If possible, I will go back next year to spend more time with them. The academics score of 4 is mostly my own fault for not knowing enough Japanese. If you're higher than N5 you'd probably learn a lot more from the locals.
