Can't complain about my life, but I kinda wish I was 20 years younger... xD Though I'm not really sure if I'd qualify for a scholarship or exchange program one way or another, I did try applying to a Rotary based interchange program back several years ago after I graduated in CompSci, but the line was too long, and spots for it were limited, and the top candidates all had perfect English and Japanese language skills which I didn't (this was for post graduates), so it ended up not happening.
I'm kinda curious as to how it would've gone... back then I hadn't even visited Japan yet (been there twice as of now), and now I'm also a Journalism graduate, needless to say lots of things changed. xD
Still, awesome to see this coming from Dogen, knowing how much experience he has there... it's also impressive how more widespread this sort of information is becoming nowadays thanks to YouTube and Internet in general. Back when I did my test I think I saw some stuff on websites, heard a bit from people who experienced it and were coming back, saw some photos, but it still kinda felt like going blind. I'd be far more confident and convinced if I had a video like this one available plus all the other channels that talks openly about their own experiences.
Seems there will be great opportunities for cultural exchanges in Japan in the future... great video!
