Because that includes travel (airfare), housing, and food....it's not a bad amount. If you want to go, you should definitely try to save up and go.
2 :
make sure yew save up to buy stuff to, just going there for site is fun , but remember to bring bak sumthin, 3000 just covers what yew said, but be sure to save up for other things, you dun wanna get caught with nu money when yew want sumthing.
3 :
It is a pretty good price for such a trip when it includes return flight, accommodation and food, but it seems to me that the school could do even better with a group rate, depending on what accommodation and food they choose.
4 :
If the 3000 includes flights, it would be good.
5 :
It depends on the quality of the detailed content.

No, those are American traditions.
2 :
Yes we have proms in Britain I believe at the end of Y11 and the 6th form. Our education system and things associated with it seem to be going very American so I wouldn't be surprised if Japan had the same thing going on with it.
3 :
They have proms in the USA, Canada, United Kingdom, Argentina, Austria, Chile, Colombia, Brazil, Egypt, Finland, Germany, India, Ireland, Lithuania, Malaysia, Peru, Pakistan, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, Sri Lanka, Vietnam and Turkey :)

Your best bet is try schools set on US Military bases.
2 :
Why should there be American school? This is Japan. US military base has some. But they are only for children of military personnels. What you say does not make sense at all.
3 :
I can teach you some nasty stuff for free!
4 :
Uh here's this one that I looked up a few years back. I was planning on going but I didn't have the money. I think it costs as much as studying abroad to an international school. I hope this helped.
5 :
No, all the international schools are private and the only American school around Tokyo, which is not public, is the most expensive one (ASIJ, American School In Japan). You can't go to school on the military base because you aren't family of the military. I have heard that there are some Japanese kids who do to go school on the base, but they have to pay a lot as well.

Moving to Japan for senior year of High School

Moving to Japan for senior year of High School?
I am a sixteen year old girl from the USA. My level of Japanese should be high by the time the next school year starts in Japan. I was wondering if it would be possible for me to enter into a Japanese High School for 3rd year only this coming April. If it were, I would need to find a family already living in Japan who would let me legally become their "dependant" for the year. Is this possible (I don't care about it being probable), and if so, where might I find such a family? In any case, I plan to attend a Japanese University regardless of where I graduated from high school.

Talk to the person in your school that manages that stuff-- the one in our school also manages scholarships and things to do with college. Also, he would find the family. It may cost a large amount of money though, so make sure you've saved up.
2 :
>I would need to find a family already living in Japan who would let me legally become their "dependant" for the year. Is this possible No. You are not talking about homestay program, are you? What kind of Japanese family lets a kid from another country stay with them for 1 entire year? Japanese family likes to have Japanese kids even if they "adopt" kids, not American kids. Or if you want to find American families living in Japan, try to find it. I don't know how. If you want to attend Japanese school, why don't you ask this on Yahoo! Answer Japan? If you can't ask it, you cannot go to Japanese high school.

Navy -- Getting married after 'A' school and fiance wants to move to Japan will I be able to go with him

Navy -- Getting married after 'A' school and fiance wants to move to Japan will I be able to go with him???
My fiance is in bootcamp right now for the Navy. and he will be going to A school right after. He is a Machinist Mate (MM). He wants to pick Japan for his first choice. We are planning to get married after he gets out of A school during the time he gets off before he goes to the next duty station (14-21 days). Assuming that he gets stationed in Japan and we get married during his vacation time... will I be able to move there with him?? Or since we are getting married after he is done with A school, will the papers not show our marriage yet???

I wouldn't plan on it. Most likely you two will end up stationed in the gulf somewhere.
2 :
Perhaps this question is better to ask the U.S. Navy Dept.
3 :
Being former Air Force (and married during tech school), I can tell you this much: If he already has orders that have him set as single, then by getting married while he is on leave and in between duty stations could change his orders for the PCS (permament change of station). If his orders state that he is single (which he would be at the time of issue) then only he would be allowed, and paid, to travel to Japan under the military's dime. If you were to get married and turn in your paperwork as soon as possible (next business day), he would still be required to PCS to his new station. You would not be able to travel with him (unless you paid for the move yourself). You would have to wait for orders to be cut for you so that the military can pay for your moving expenses. Then again, you could risk him losing his orders for Japan all together. They may be orders that are set aside strictly for someone who is single and there are no accomodations for a family. Or like in the Air Force, it could be an unacompanied tour where he can't bring his family at all, so you would be stuck alone anyways. There are many factors when it comes to getting orders and you can never tell what will happen. When I got married in tech school, to another student, he had just recieved his PCS orders (for Japan actually). We filed for a joint spouse assignment as soon as we had gotten married. Several weeks later, we both recieved our orders...to a base stateside. So, you never can tell what the military has planned. Good luck.
4 :
it all depends on his time he will be there and the assignment. sometimes they do only sent them alone and un accompanied. He really needs to ask the navy.
5 :
Don't plan on Japan...very RARELY do first timers out get their first choice...He will be lucky to get his last choice...and it will depend on whether his assignment is accompanied or not as to whether you will be able to go...it will have nothing to do with the marriage papers.
6 :
April, if your worried whether you can go with your boyfriend to Japan, no need because you will become his dependant, the two of you will get married before he goes overseas, it might not shows on his orders but if he file your marriage to him,the navy will arrange all the necessary papers and you my dear will be joining him. Just tell him that as soon or before the two of you get married go to disbursing office of the navy and put getting married or just got married and from there, you will become his dependant. The navy will give him more pay,cause if your with him in Japan the two of you will live on government housing and yes there's this military ID. Don't waste no time for this,call your boyfriend so he can start the necessary papers before the two of you get married..........hope this help, ( I was a navy wife too)

US and Japan are invading China

US and Japan are invading China?
Japan's "Chinese Herald" reported that a Japanese Qingnian formed by the civil society, the streets in Tokyo recently to promote "Diaoyu Islands are China's territory." At 19:00 on October 27, in Tokyo's Shinjuku Station East Exit, Japan "statements against racial discrimination would be" the six young people at street campaign to improve hand-sound speakers preach their views, and distributing leaflets. The main content of their propaganda: Japan's high school system should not exclude free Korean schools in Japan was originally disputed the Chinese territory Diaoyu Islands. In their view, although the Japanese Ministry of the "expert meeting" has been found to meet the Korean school system in terms of high school for free, but some in Japan to the Japanese abduction issue is not resolved as an excuse to review on Korean schools, which in itself is the "violation of human rights." On the Diaoyu Islands issue, they are questions and answers in the form of leaflets recorded their views. Leaflets following major elements: Q, I heard the Senkaku Islands (Diaoyu Islands) are Japan's territory to carry out aggression against China, TV's "World Theatre" This said, it is not very trouble? A, no! Japan's aggression. Seems to be about 150 years ago, the Japanese invaded China and captured the Diaoyu Islands. Europe's own past casually formulated the "world rules" (international law), the Japanese Foreign Ministry said Japan is done in accordance with this rule. That follow such a rule, the European to win the aborigines of the land, this is shocking. And in the Diaoyu Islands issue, Japan has not actually done in accordance with this rule, but to use the occasion of the confusion Sino quietly seized (that is not declared that he would into Japanese territory, but in secret.) Would like to study this issue, see "statements against racial discrimination would be" pages. (They all read the famous Japanese historian INOUE work on the Diaoyu Islands, which is quite resonant.) Q, is it? But this is the word of the past, is now in the 21st century, if not territorial disputes, how to determine the Chinese fishing Okinawa problem? A, no! Japan Coast Guard ship (armed ships) are now offshore activities over the Diaoyu Islands, are continuing the aggression and domination, should the Diaoyu Islands as the South Pole, as do not belong to any country as a "total of the island," the wise scholars think so. But this Japanese government must admit its mistakes, apologize, saying that "aggression against us, sorry," and withdrew to the Coast Guard ship, or else someone else is difficult to understand. Their leaflet also says: against the Diaoyu Islands issue in Japan due to racial discrimination because the tendency. October 16, Tokyo, Roppongi with 2,000 people attended an anti-China demonstrations. When the procession came near Roppongi station, "remarks against racial discrimination would be" in the Constitution and the Kashiwazaki are often wild male Jiro, took the words "to the end of colonialism, say no to racial discrimination, discrimination against racial remarks will be" the yellow banner and ran into the procession to protest against the Chinese people that they, the team suddenly chaos, protesters, police and two protesters were twisted into a ball. Masanori Kashiwazaki and often persist in wild male Jiro procession, the sit-in protest. They called out "against the harassment of Chinese schools", the police immediately opened them, carried away, they are still shouting slogans, the police dragged them a small alley, a small alley sun flag in hand gathered to participate in the procession of people, shouting slogans at them. October 27, Masanori Kashiwazaki and often wild male Jiro also participated in the street campaign, their promotional activities carried out from 7pm to 8:45 or so.
