A date is set February 21, 2011 for the battle of the location of the trip. We will meet at the cafeteria at 5:30P.M. ( My apologies for not giving the school name. Our Principal restricted the use of using the school name for the trip is not actually associated with our school but it is a school trip with a teacher and all those willing to pay. We will hopefully with the approval of out Principal pick a name for a travel/culture club to use as our title.) My mother and myself will be there to promote and establish a connection with the other parents on the culture of Japan. Our goal is to promote Global Awareness to students in our school. Many people live on without knowing the experience and feeling of being in another country or furthermore taking an interest in many diverse cultures. The teacher in charge will be Ms. Aguirre(A Spanish French and AVID teacher). The final three locations to pick from are Japan, South Pacific(such as Australia) and Europe(such as Rome). In my eyes I see people taking an interest in the many diverse cultures of Europe. Even, textbooks go into deeper detail about the past and government of Europe but what about Japan? Think about it how much do you know about Europe versus Japan? This is the argument we want present to in students and parents at the meeting so that Japan will hopefully be the 2012 Trip Choice. We need to deepen our education not only with books or our own nation's history but with the world. And Japan will be the first of many trips in our young lives to experience the many cultures new and old of our world today.
I will provide further travel details, personal preparation and open the world of Japan with Japanese etiquette, phrases, music, fun facts and much more...
