well, tomorrow i will be leaving the country for the first time, not just that, but the first time without my family as i am travelling to Japan for a school trip. i will be gone for 10 days and will stay with a host family who seem very nice. i will also have the opportunity to visit some model shops!!
Japan is a wonderful country to visit. The people are really nice and friendly. Where in Japan are you going? I was able to visit, for work, the Kobe area a couple of times and really enjoyed the opportunity. Have fun, take lots of pictures, and good hunting in the model shops.
