COUNTDOWN CLOCK WIDGET

10761 km away

How did I get this opportunity? In this post I will explain you the way I did.
Like I have posted before, I LOVE travelling and meeting people. I have visited several countries but I have always wanted to involve me in the everyday life of other country. I wanted to change, to have  new experiences and learn about other culture. I started searching programs but it was a hard work. Finally, almost a year later I found a program called AFS. Without thinking twice I called them and asked them about their program in Japan. They were really friendly and explained me everything. I did all the things they asked me to, I sent the documents and all the required stuff, and finally  I went to an interview. Then the waiting started, I checked my mail everyday waiting for an e-mail from AFS. And  2 months later I received a packet in my house. Yes, I had won the scholarship. This was one of the best days in my life, I started crying and shouting around the house.
They sent me a lot of information about my country, safety tips and a japanese language book(honestly I needed it). Then I received the information about  my host family. They are so cute and friendly, I have an older sister but she won´t live in the same house. They have a dog too, and this makes me happy, I love dogs, cats, and all the animals that exist on this planet. And at last they sent me the departure information. I take off the 23th of August, from Madrid. I have a really long flight, first I fly to London and then I have a non-stop flight to Tokio( 13 hours).

And after all this time , soon my dream will come true and I'll wake up everyday in the country of the rising sun 10761 km away from here.
