ive went on that trip a couple years ago, it was mad fun, they only gay part was you have to keep a journal thingy and wright and essay. I didnt do it, but nothing happened. the only bad part is its hella expensive. but deff. do it. you will get to stay with a host family for a couple days and get mad free gifts from the families. my sister actually just got back from that same trip on thursday and she had a good time as well.
