I decided to participate in the Japan trip for a few reasons. First, I have always wanted to travel outside of the country. This trip interested me because I will be going with my fellow classmates and have great people to experience it with. Also, the trip is all planned out, which makes it easier for me to commit to. Next, I am also eager to see how other countries are and excited to be in a place where I do not know the primary language. Often times we encounter people in the U.S. which do not speak English. Although we try to communicate and help them understand, I think it will be a great experience to be on the other end. This will help me realize how lost or confused they might be. Lastly, I just want to see what else is out there and how other countries operate not only in the pharmacy, but a country as a whole including the culture and lifestyle.
I am looking forward to making great lifetime memories with my friends and meeting new friends. I believe this trip will bring us closer together since we are all experiencing the same thing in this foreign country Japan. I am excited to see the pharmacy school and all the attractions we will visit during our time in Japan. I am also looking forward to trying a lot of new foods.
Some fears or concerns I have for the trip are of course getting lost. I fear that if I am lost I will not be able to find my way back to the group without having cellular data to look it up. I do not think this will happen, as all of us will make sure to look after one another, but it is still something I fear. I am also concerned about potentially getting sick from the change of environment or foods/water. I would not enjoy my time as much as I want to, if for some reason I happened to become sick. I do not anticipate on this happening as I know the food/water is safe there; however only if my body does not adjust well.
Overall I am very excited to travel to Japan and have been counting the days until we leave.
