I wanna be an exchange student in Japan next year (26/27). I’m learning Japanese since about a year. But I’m not sure if I should go for a whole year (10 months) or just for a half year (5 months).
I’m afraid of losing my friends if I stay too long (Especially because of different time zones) but I also have the feeling that if I don’t go a whole year I will miss out on a lot of things (for example different seasons or festivals) and that I just start to really enjoy things after a few months.
Is it hard to stay in contact with close friends while being in Japan?
Do I miss out on a lot of things if I just do 5 months?
Is the whole year worth it?
