(Okay, I got the obligatory language reference out of the way.) I'm Jonathan, and I'm going to Japan as an exchange student for my senior year of high school -- 2007-2008. This is where I'll catalog all my adventures leading up to and including that grand event.
I found out what part of Japan I'll be in; either Yamanashi or Shizuoka Prefectures. Mount Fuji is right on the border of these two prefectures. (Thus, the name of the blog.) And Tokyo is about two hours away. It's Rotary district 2620, in case you cared. The photos in this post are of the Shizuoka Prefecture.
Rotary International is the organization with which I'm going. It's basically the most amazing organization in the world. All I have to pay for is airfare and health insurance. Plus, I receive an allowance of $100 a month when I'm there.
I'm really excited. I have to study Japanese before I go, create Powerpoint presentations on New Jersey and Japan, attend lots of orientation weekends, and arrange visas and travel arrangements.
Tentative date for my going away party is August 10 at 8 or 9 pm. It'll pretty much be the best party of the year. So be there.
