Study manga? What do you mean?

hey, i'm also interested in that! >> going to japan as an exchange student >> wants to become manga artist

. but only for high school instead of college. is that possible? if yes, do you need to know all about japanese, or just the basics of the language?

I wanted that 2 this year but i couldnt go because of 2 teachers the bastards. But i did search for some information and the problem for me is, i can go to an other country for a working periode (dont know the correct term in english) but it can only be in the EU. There is some sort of funding that pays students for there working periode in other countrys (thats not correct but something like that). Other parts in the world i have to pay for my self, so i was like ok even if i have to pay. Japan was number one country i want to go to so i asked a few ppl and i dont know if its treu or somethin but a person told me it could be like 5000€ each month for a student to live there. and thats a bit to expensive for me

. but next year im probally going to Sweden for a half year

that's cool going to sweden. i don't know, i was wondering if there's a way to go as an exchange student and live with a family for a few months. that's the way they do it here in america... instead of living on your own could you go there and be ... like adopted but only for 1/2 a year??? i wouldn't mind having to work to pay off the family or anything, but something where i'd have people to go to i guess. how much is 5000 euros in american dollars?? hmm... i'll have to do research. best of luck to your travels!! ^^

You should see whether or not your school has sister schools in Japan first.

Yeah, my schools like that. We're sister cities with Hino....but I can't go because of the HORRIBLEEEE!!!!!!!!!!! timing. (I cried, no joke). But when WE exchange here, we don't actually GO to school, because it's over spring break, and it costs about 2000 dollars, more than I have(or will for quite a few years, I need a job!!)

Anyhoo, join clubs, ....like, Spanish club is going to Peru this year, Theatre is going to NY(in country, but still). Last year Band went to Ireland. It gets you all over the place. And if you actually get a trip you can send out letters to all your distant relatives across the globe asking for small donations(they'll probably give you more than a small donation if they have the money. And be polite about it and what-not. A girl in my math class went to South Africa on that!

'Course, when you're talking about Japan, you may need like $2000 in spending money(at least I would).......

Is it that expensive there? I stayed in Germany for a month and only spent like...500 Euro. Athough, I could see if you stay in Japan for longer.
