The Adventures of the Little Lost Girl in Japan: Team Philippines, combine!

I went to Manila a day before the departure day for Japan. Before the departure day, we were all tasked to go to the national headquarters of the National Youth Commission for our orientation. There, we would finally meet our fellow delegates who we would be with for the next ten days in Japan.

I was really quite nervous and very excited by the time the elevator was taking me up, leading me to the office of NYC. I know my fellow delegates by name and by Facebook photo but not in person, meaning, I do not know anyone yet. I arrived at the conference room and saw four of my fellow delegates there. We introduced ourselves and chatted while waiting for the others.

The orientation started and a lot of things were discussed. Experienced were also shared that would make us become knowledgeable of the things that we would expect in Japan. Also, our passports were given out with out Japanese visa on it. That made everything become more real to me already.

After the orientation, the 15 delegates of the Philippines to Japan took a photo in order for us to have something to keep even before we went to Japan. We were still in our shy, nice-to-meet-you selves during that time, so everything was still very awkward. But, in the future adventures, these awkwardness cannot be found anywhere anymore!

So, here's the photo of us all. Please welcome, Team Philippines!
