~Hi, everyone! I'm Megan, I'm 17, and I'm about to be a senior in high school. A little about myself... I'm a bookworm, a music addict, and a Japan freak! lol I'm involved in a multitude of different activities at school, so I'm quite busy, but I value my time with my friends. I've been playing piano for about 8 years, going on 9; I like it, but my skills are only halfway decent. >_<
~I studied Japanese for two years, but my school no longer offers it, so what skills I do have are getting shabby!
~Currently, I'm participating in a Japanese-American cultural exchange program called High School Diplomats, and as part of that program I will be traveling to Japan this summer, my first time abroad!
~Well, that's about all I can think of right now. I'm looking specifically for a Japanese penpal to communicate with through Email; preferably a female who is close to my age. ^_^ And of course I welcome communication with anyone else! Nice to meet you!
~Meg

Hiya Meg,

Welcome to JREF!
I'm new here myself but I hope you'll have a lot of fun here just like I do now.
People here are all nice and kind, so I'm sure you wii. ^_^

It surprising to hear that you could have a Japanese class even at high school...
Is Japanese language becoming that popular there? How nice!

Anyways, I'm happy for you that you'll be coming to Japan.

Cue

From the rainy mountains in the center of Japan, the Japan Alps, I'll shout out a big welcome to you shaman_empress. As we are thrown ever closer to the rainy season here in Japan, things still look like smooth sailing for a while. We can all look forward to some sun this weekend.

When you come in the summer, I hope you will have a good time, and that all things will be smooth sailing for you too !!

Please do enjoy the whole forum, check out all the little nooks and crannies, get to know us and make friends. I hope to see you 'round !!
