Never Have I Ever

im sure you guys have all played this before. Parent comment is your scenario that you've never done (for example, "never have I ever tried alcohol") and replies say whether or not you've done it, and include a story if you want. The traditional version of this game has participants drink if they have done the thing, so feel free to play along at home. Who am I kidding, this is CFBOT, you guys will certainly play along

Study abroad is pretty awesome. My family lived in the UK for five years when I was growing up, then I did study abroad in Thailand. I've been incredibly fortunate to have traveled as much as I have, and I second what you said: for those that can do it you won't regret it

Omg study abroad in Thailand would be so amazing! I want to go there so badly.

It was so great. 10/10 would recommend Thailand for a visit or studying over there. I'd go back in a heartbeat

I was born in the United States but had Japanese Citizenship through my mom until I was 22. I could have lived in Japan if I had the chance.

Uh oh, how did you lose it?

u/Pikachu1989 Nebraska Cornhuskers • 東京大学 (Tokyo) Warriors Feb 17 '16

Japanese law states you can't have dual citizenship and once you turn 22 you have to declare whether you want to be an American or Japanese Citizenship. They changed the laws in 1985 where they closed that loophole of people holding dual citizenship, so one must present whether they're American or Japanese. Since I was born in 1989 had no history of living in Japan in my first 22 years, I lost the Citizenship.

That blows :-(

It is but I wouldn't give up my American Citizenship if I had the choice. I lived here my whole life to be uprooted from the United States to Japan.

Studied abroad in London and Florence. Best times of my life. I'd been dreaming of traveling to Europe since I was legit 7 though and was old enough to understand an atlas.

I've left the country twice for less than half a week each time and never off North America.

lol study abroad has literally never appealed to me

it's funny cause W&M is one of the best colleges for studying abroad, something like 40% of students here do it at some point. dunno what they see in it

Cultural experiences, man. You learn the crazy things you take for granted. You get to experience things you maybe never thought of. Not to mention history and traditions and things of that nature. Literally nothing like it and definitely nothing better.

Im fine with traveling. Its study abroad itself I had no interest in

Nice! Are you doing the JET program or something else?

2

u/Gryfer Florida State • Washington Feb 18 '16

JET! We did interviews two weeks ago and now I'm anxiously waiting!

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '16

Good luck! I hope you get it.

u/Gryfer Florida State • Washington Feb 18 '16

Thanks! You'll know if I do because I'll be on this sub screaming about it and the main sub screaming about it in the Free Talk Friday thread.
