So...where in Japan will you be going?

This is the question of the week! I am starting to become anxious about my placement, as I am supposed to find out where I will be going within a week or so.

I am pretty sure I will be happy with my placement regardless of where I am, but I know I am hoping for some places more than others. I requested Nagasaki, Ishikawa, and Hiroshima. All three of these places are in the Southern half of Japan (where is is warmer). I also requested a suburban placement. A city placement would mean more people would speak English, and better access to stores and entertainment, but also less of the traditional Japanese cultural experience. An inaka (rural) placement means less people would speak English, it might be hard to travel, and less forms of entertainment around, but a chance to experience a more traditional Japan. I definitely want to experience both sides of Japan, and living in a city would probably be more comfortable for me, but I think I might be leaning towards living in a rural area.

Where would you live if you could choose?
