Help support my trip by clicking here: gofundme/nate2japan こんにちは、私はNateである。 会う喜び。 Let me translate that for you. Hi, Im Nate. Pleasure to meet you. It has been my dream since I was 9 to go to Japan and explore its amazing history. When I turned 13, I began to teach myself Japanese. I also wanted to explore its culture and the best way to do that would be to explore it personally. Now at the age of 14, I have found an amazing opportunity to go to Japan with a group of kids my age through an organization called People To People. They take kids on a 2 week journey through Japan so we can learn about the diverse history, culture, and language of this unique country. This trip comes with a bonus; it gives academic credit that will look great on transcripts and résumés, opening a host of opportunities for colleges and careers. In the long run, this trip benefits me in multiple ways. It gives me more knowledge about the country I want to go to and I get to learn more about the language. Unfortunately, this trip comes with the price of $7079, which includes airfare, food, places to stay, and all the cool places we will visit. While this is actually a relatively low price for a 2 week trip to Japan, it is not possible without the support of people like you. So, I am humbly asking people to donate what they can. To kick off the donations, my father has made the first payment and I will be saving my entire allowance to contribute to this amazing opportunity. It is now up to the contributions of generous people like you to make this experience possible. Since I am asking for so much, I dont want to make this trip all about me. So, I will be keeping my supporters informed of my experiences in Japan through a video blog. Through my blog, supporters will be able to experience such things as: -Mount Fuji, which is Japans largest volcano and overlooks Tokyo. -The Floating Torii, one of the Three Views of Japan, a shrine that appears to be floating. Now, keep in mind that the trip will have a fascinating itinerary, which will include such interesting places as: -Gion District of Kyoto, which is known for its traditional Geisha artistry -Peace Memorial Park, dedicated to the lives lost in the nuclear bombs of WWII -Kinkaku-ji Temple, a Zen Buddhist temple covered in gold leaf -My Host Family, where I will be learning about Japanese culture directly I will also be providing information when I come back about Japanese food, culture, respect, and other things. Your contribution will mean the world to me and will make this dream a reality. ありがとう、後で会いなさい。 Thank you, see you later.
