"Wow I've always wanted to go to Japan." said Lopy excitedly. "Well you will be going for the next eight months." I said. As soon as I got home and spread the news I began to pack. My sister asked me where I was going and I told her that I was going to Japan for a while. Naturally she was happy for me but was sad to see Lopy and I go. I gave my sister one of my digi- modifying cards. In a week I was leaving to go to a country that was like an unknown land. I had no clue of what was in store for me.

p When I got to Japan a week later it was much different than I expected. I went into the house that I was assigned to, met my host family, and went to my new room .I will soon be going to a new school, learning a new language and experiencing a new culture. Everything was so new to me. No matter what I was ready for what would become the best eight months of my life.

p About a month later, I figured that I could not possibly be the only person in Japan with a Digimon. There had to be other Digi-destined somewhere. I went into the downtown area to Hypnos to find work you know to earn extra money. I wanted to show them my new card designs. While going that way, I ran into Henry. He did not know that I knew who he was. "Hi." said Henry. "Haven't seen you around here before; my name is Henry." "Hi, I'm Vainya." I said. All of a sudden I remembered where I was going and abruptly said "I'm late, um… nice meeting you but I got to go." "Late for what?" asked Henry as I started to run down the street. "Can't – talk—now." I said and turned around a corner. I got to Hypnos and I got the job of a life time.
