wtf is a world travel class

[Purestock240]

its a really pointless class about travelling the world basically, currency exchange, going to places that are politically unstable etc, im pretty sure its an almost retard level class. i got thrown in it because my school is small and had no other classes to offer,

wtf is a world travel class

thats exactly what i was thinking :fruit:

[whitefedorafilms]

did that junk in prob and stats in my senior year of high school.

why would you choose japan if you have no idea what you would do there?

[lawrenceyang]

"unlimited budget" sounds pretty interesting

[Okinawandrifter87]

Or why Japan of all places if you had anywhere to go?

Or how about you give an idea of things you like to do.

I don't know how you expect anyone to be able to help you while being so vague.

Reading your question, I would just go hang out with my friends to skate and maybe work on cars.
But thats where my home is so...you see how that won't help you.

i have ideas, i am going to mt. fuji.i will spend a week in tokyo, i would like to spend atleast 2 days at a track to check out some lapping. I choose japan because for weeks i have been thinking of a place to do it and couldnt make up my mind. it seems like a place that 21 days will be just enough that i will run out of things to do, the 21 days starts when i leave my house and whens when I arrive home, the night spent in toronto before leaving for japan will count as well as the day i get home. so i would say i will get about 17 full days in japan, also if I have time left over i can take a flight to anothher country on my way back and explore it for a few days.

I am basically just looking for a list of interesting things to do in japan, places to go and activities to try, also nice/ unique hotels, most of the thing i find on the web are all about museums and ancient shrines, i wouldnt mind doing a day or two of that stuff but thats it. also with the budget it stilll has to be somewhat practical. taking a helicopter ride up my. fuji is acceptable but buying a house for the 21 days and taking a private jet there isnt going to go over well with my teacher

that would be wicked, so far I am landing in tokyo and looking for a hotel, i have a flight booked and a room in toronto for the night so its not a huge rush i the morning, i live about 1.5 hours from pearson airport

What about English class?

[BustedS13]

canada has classes about travel and leisure? that's either desirable or not desirable. i can't decide right now.

but i'd go to that place where you catch your fish out of a moat and then they chop it up and cook it while it's still alive, and present it to you still living on the plate. holy shit. i've always wondered if i could be scared vegetarian.
and i'd go to Top Secret and Signal and blah blah. and temples and junk.

Normal Stuff to do: Climb Fuji(takes one day), Shibuya, Roppongi
Car Guy Stuff: visit some shops(Top secret, URAS,etc.) you know more than me what shops you like most. Visit some tracks like Tsukuba, Ebisu, Fuji(find a hotel in the area when you climb the mountain, the track is around the base), and meihan to see Team Burst in action.

depending on the time you go, there will most likely be some sort of festival going on, and those are fun.

I'll post again if I can think of more stuff.
