Im going there this summer for this program organized by the government called "people to people" where kids up till the end of high school can travel the world and get an extra credit for college for doing so. i got reffered this year for the first time.. so yeah. first of all im crazily excited.. i cant freaking believe my dream has come true.. i mean i kinda always thought it would happen.. like i wanted to go to japan while i was still a kid.. and i just turned 14.. its like perfect timing. i could go more into detail on that but on with my questions. like first of all are kimonos really expensive? I wanna buy 1 or 2. and does octopus and raw meat taste good? i mean i like sushi but i eat the cooked/barbecued meat kind or the ones with no meat in them. like once i had barbecued eel in sushi by accident but it was good, aha. other than that.. yea with the people to people thing you go in this big group and theres also homestays where you visit peoples houses and see how they live and stuff for a bit. we're staying there for like 2 weeks in july-ish. are there any cool festivals during july, btw? and like what should i expect about japan (course im gonna spend all ma money, haha. and is money more expensive there? or like can i get a good ipod there for cheap? well cheaper than america's prices.) and like etc.. and i cant speak japanese btw. thanks for helping! :) (link)

Congratulations! Yes comonos are expensive. Raw fish is an aquired taste, so it's hit or miss whether you will like it or not. I suggest you try it before you go. Everything is a bit more expensive there. If you want to know about any holidays or festivals look it up. I also suggest you look up how to say hello and thank you in Japanese. Most things that you can buy are hand made. Hope this helped!
