I went to Japan through YFU on the summer of 2008 and here are some suggestions or some things to expect if you want to study abroad and homestay in Japan as well. I’ve also been to Japan two other times and have had many Japanese exchange brothers and sisters who lived with my family as well, so I at least know a little something of what I’m talking about. XD

Edit: Friggin’ YouTube. I spent 3 hours uploading this video to find that it once again cut it to like 4:42 when my video was barely 10 minutes long. In order to reupload, I had to crapify the quality because my SUPER HIGH QUALITY IPHONE VIDEO is too much for YouTube to handle .__.

Documenting when my host family took me to Kamogawa! It was a little over a two hour drive from where we live, but it wasn’t so bad because of the beautiful scenery and the fact that we drove across a really long bridge from one side of the bay to the other, and that there never seems to be anyone on the freeway around here. Being from Los Angeles, that is amazing to me.

If you haven’t noticed yet, I bore easily and decided to color-code the subtitles.
Me – black
Youko – pink
Tomo – dark blue
Touse – light blue
Ryouei – green

And I know, I know. I filmed a lot of TV in this one. But some of the stuff we were watching was too hilarious to pass up. Samurai Sentai Shinkenger is actually really hilarious… And it must cost so much for them to make that show. It’s all high quality fighting sequences, effects… Lolz. Wish they had that kinda money for the live action Sailor Moon.

I didn’t get to film all the sea creatures I wanted to because my feeble iPhone battery couldn’t handle me constantly filming. But I got the best stuff, so it’s okay.

Enjoy!

My older host brother from the Makki family. There’s two takes, included both just for kicks and giggles. He was really cool and really nice =]

In the second take you can see my younger host brother Yoshinori. He was SO GENEROUS to share his room with me for three months, so ultimate thanks to him!

I also had a host sister, but she is not in the video! She was also very cool =]

Basically what he says is that he’s a 2nd year student in college, I’m doing a homestay program with them, and it’s his YouTube debut. Oh, and that he lives in Osaka.
