I can't wait for the Taiwan-Japan trip! I'm so excited to experience Taiwanese and Japanese culture firsthand, especially since I've never been to any country in Asia. I'm most excited to see the cherry blossoms in Japan and go to night markets with my friends. I'm also really looking forward to meeting students from international schools and practicing my Chinese!

I am so so excited to visit Taiwan and Japan! I've never been to East Asia, so this is a completely new experience for me. Although I am a little bit nervous about the flight, I know it'll be worth it! The part of the trip I am anticipating the most is visiting schools and learning about the different cultures in both Japan and Taiwan. I'm very grateful I can experience this with friends as well! I can't wait to fill multiple SD cards with photos from my camera.

I can't wait to visit Taiwan and Japan! Although I have been to Asia before, I am even more ecstatic to be able to experience Taiwanese and Japanese culture. There isn't a single day when I don't think about all the things we will be doing in Taiwan and Japan. I am most excited for the sightseeing, participating in all the amazing activities with my friends, and speaking Chinese with natives. I can't wait to fill up my phone storage with images and for all the memories made from this trip of a lifetime.

I am overflowing with excitement at the thought of visiting Taiwan and Japan! I am excited to learn about new cultures and eat delicious food. I am also very curious about the nature of the wilderness destinations we will be visiting, where I hope to have a great time. I am looking forward to spend some quality time with my friends why immersing myself in a new place.

Hi, my name is Nina Kim I’m so happy I’m able to travel and meet new people and connect with people I don’t talk to much. This is my first time traveling out of the US and only my second time being on a flight. Though I don’t know much I can say I’m so excited to learn and see how people live outside the US. Can’t wait to meet everyone and hope everything goes well!!!

Words can't describe how excited I am for Taiwan and Japan. I've been counting the hours since the beginning of the year, and I'm already starting to lose sleep from being too excited. I've never been to Asia before so this will all be completely new to me. I'm most excited for the sightseeing, and finally getting that opportunity to practice speaking mandarin to a native speaker. From the flight to the culture norms, I will be an amatuer. But that doesn't hinder my excitement at all. I can't wait for the many, many pictures that will be taken and just the overall experience from a trip of a lifetime. 

My name is Kouros and I am a junior. I am super excited for our upcoming trip and to see quite literally the other side of the world. I know opportunities like this one are very few and far between, and I am beyond excited and grateful to be apart of the trip! 

I am so excited to travel to Taiwan and Japan. I can’t wait to see new wildlife and landscapes unique to asian geography. I’m also eager to experience new cultures during my time in Taiwan and Japan. I can’t wait to share my experiences with my family along the way while taunting them with photos of delicious food. This will truly be an unforgettable experience!

I am extremely excited to visit Taiwan and Japan. I am very eager to experience and learn new cultures and to see the natural beauty of Taiwan and Japan. This will be my first time in Asia, so this will be a cool new learning experience for me. I can't wait to visit the high school to meet other kids our age and experience how schools work in another country. I am looking forward to spending quality time with my friends and classmates while experiencing a once-in-a-lifetime trip.
