That may be one way to do it.

I have no doubt as geologist you would have a fascinating time, but lots and lots of those places are out of bounds and for good reason, they are lethal.

I recently saw a program about a geologist (think he was from the UK) do a one off documentary about Japan.

thanks, I didn't even think of that as an option! That actually could work out really well for me, as I have no money to speak of but I do get good grades.
And it would allow me to live in Japan long enough to really experience it.

I sort of figured the really dangerous places would be of limits lol. I'm more interested in seeing or even being involved in the process of predicting earthquakes and things like that. Where I live, earthquakes are like a myth, we just don't have any active faults. I would of course love to see an a real volcano and all that, but generally it's simply much too dangerous to get close.

Thanks again, I'll look into what my university has to offer for studying abroad!
