Jessica's Letter

Future Delegates,
If I could offer you helpful words of advice for you upcoming trip, it would be to bring more than 14 rolls of film in case you go picture happy (like almost everyone will!) I brought 14 rolls, and ended up buying 6 more! If you don't like plain rice or strange foods, like octopus or grasshoppers I would suggest you bring nutrition bars or fruit snacks or something. You will want to bring a water bottle for all the walking you do in Tokyo. I would suggest bringing around $350.00-$400.00. I brought $350.00 and I am leaving with like 300 Yen. When you are in Mutsu city and yo go to the schools, you might be overwhelmed and feel claustrophobic or something. The students will treat you like a celebrity. Don't be worried though, they're all very nice, and I have never been treated so nicely in my entire life. Oh, one last thing, don't forget to bring tissue for the farewell dinner. Trust me, you will probably cry. Have fun!
Thank You,
Jessica Uhlenkott
