Oh, and being interested in anime and manga isn't really the best basis for wanting to study in Japan. It is really hard work (I've heard), because not only are the standards very high in many japanese schools, but you'll have to learn everything in a completely different language.

I also hope you have asked you parents about this, because you're underage and can't simply go to wherever you'd like without their permission.

Also, I think I can say that there's no such thing as "a mysterious program" in Norway.

Dont worry about that, I asked and I got permition finaly cause I will be 18 the same year I will go to Japan, and We go there to learn more about Anime/mangas but its basicly not the reason, We fell in love with Japan long time before we knew about Anime/manga. We want to go there to learn more about culture, language and everything. This country realy intrests us more than anything !

So - I`m going to make the guess that you WANT to go to Japan to study in high school but know nothing about the reality of it.

Unless there is some mysterious program that I have never heard of with your country (which I highly doubt) you`re pretty much out of luck. You can`t just hop on over to Japan and enroll in high school. Things don`t work like that.

First of all, you will need all your money on hand before going - pre-college visa (what you will need for high school) does not generally allow you to work. You will need to pay for tuition and pay for housing, even if it is a homestay you will need to pay the family.

Please do some research first. I`m not saying it`s not possible to go to Japan, but just deciding on it and saying you`re going to isn`t realistic.

Dont worry, We know more about japan than you think. Thats one thing. Not just for the mangas/anime. But everything about Japan can offer. Here we can be sendt out at 2nd year in highschool to study in another country for 1 ~ 2 years . We know exactly what we should do and we have our plans!

We want to know and learn more about Japan, about almost everything. We fell in love with it and there for we want to live with it

You may have your plans, and your country may allow you to go out and go to high school elsewhere for 2 years...

But that doesn`t mean the JAPANESE side will let things go so smoothly. *sigh*

Agree, they seem to take it a little too easy.
