Every time I hear that you're going to Japan, it either feels highly surreal or I feel extreme jealousy and hatred. And then whenever I say I'm going to go at least once in my lifetime, that too feels surreal. Maybe because I'm the kind of person who says I'm going to do something but then expects it to just happen while skipping all the work in between. Plus, if you do go, I won't be able to find someone to come with me just for 2 weeks. I'm not allowed to go on my own. Whenever Shannon says she will, only if I go to America with her first; that just doesn't seem real either. Bethany is the only other person who said she'd go, but she can't for another 2 years. My gap year is (with any luck) next year. This is depressing.
Even so, despite how much I might be jealous and depressed about it, I'll help you to raise the funds, even if it's just giving you ideas. I once had a website dedicated to just listing every single fund raising idea a person could think of favourited, for when I try to raise money for when I go (as if it'll happen), but that was on my old laptop. So I can't give you an immediate response until I start hunting for that, or similar, websites. Because you know how un-creative I am. And that I have to rely on the Internet.
