Alright, after about four months of planning, i've submitted a paper in which has plans for a trip to either, China, Korea, or Japan. My teacher loves traveling, and has already went to China and Korea, so guess where he wants to go? JAPAN!
(and yes i've strategically done that :) ) But anyway, he's a video productions teacher, and teachers for the Regional Occupation Program. So since we're in video, we do things like what reporters and stuff do. However he's seeking the right people for a grant. Though he's more than positive we can go, but a thing thats hindering an instantaneous "OK" for our trip is one thing.
They get the view that Japan is expensive.
I know i've read a lot of threads and how to live cheap, but there is little relevance to what specifications I must abide by.
Right now i'm doing the average pricing for our stay. I don't know what our budget is on the trip but heres the current information :
1)ten to fifteen students will be going, along with two to four shauffers
2)Accomidations must be hotel, preferablly two to three rooms, for ONE WEEK. More than likely there will be more boys than girls, and obviously the boys have their own room, and so do the girls. Along with the staff going.
However, since we are after all American, we can only anticipate that the people going would like that some of the familiarities of "home" go with them, ie Toilet, Shower, etc.
3)Food. This really is in a black zone, as I'm sure we'd like to eat out and get a taste of japan, no pun intended. Also again, it'd be safe to say that the people going would like to eat occaisonally the stuff they're used to here.
I really hate to ask you all to basically do my work for me, but I really don't know much about the pricing of the stuff mentioned before.
Right now I will be calculating budget and some of the expenses that are REQUIRED for the trip.
Also i'm trying to get into contact with two Japanese High Schools.
;)
Should this be passed by the school district, and it actually goes down, I'd LOVE to post the video here :)
However keep in mind that I do reside in California, and education has recieved a lot of budget cuts, not to mention I live in much smaller town. (But already has gone to China because of a music trip)

Thank you JREF people!
P.S. I'll be editing this post to update anything.
