The other morning I woke up and thought "Hey, let's all go to Japan!"
At first, of course, I dismissed it thinking it was only a random thought. But it's been a personal dream of mine to travel to Japan, and the more I thought about it the more excited I got about the concept. So that day I announced to my friends that I'd like to organize a group trip with them. At first hey were almost as excited as was, but then they were like "It's gonna be too pricy, everyone's too busy, it' too early to plan this kind of thing." I kept reassuring them that I could handle it, but they were and still are skeptical. I want to prove them wrong and show them I can successfully organize a really fun trip.
However...
IM LOST!
I don't know the first thing about planning a trip out of the country! I have no clue where to start, not a penny to my name, and I don't even have a passport! So, as you can plainly see, I need LOTS AND LOTS OF HELP.
Of course, I plan on getting a job and a passport. I just need help planning.
So the group hopefully attending consists of 12 people, give or take a few, with a wide variety of ages from twenty-somethings to a couple of 15-yr-olds, and a handful in between[current ages]. Thankfully, one of my friends has an older brother who can speak Japanese. I wish for te trip to take place no less than 3 or 4 years from now, just to make sure everyone is technically an adult. I'll be the only girl on the trip....
We want to shop for electronics clothes and otaku goods, play a ton of video games, visit an onsen, ride a bullet train, see a japanese love hotel, be in the live audience of a japanese gameshow, tour japanese castles, attend festivals, eat everything in sight, see one of those beautiful gardens near the temples and stuff like that. I've wanted to go sometime when the Japanese kids are still in school so I can see the adorable uniforms. I also want an excuse to wear a kimono ^^
Erm, please help me sort out this chaos into something that might actually work...
