I am so excited to go to Japan and Taiwan! This will be my first time going to Asia, and I can't wait to experience a new culture, food and scenery. Travel is one of my favorite things, and it will be so fun to experience this trip with my close friends and classmates. It will also be fun to visit the school in Taiwan and see what their education and daily life is like.
