Research Topic: Sports in Sendai

Soccer, baseball and figure skating are the prevalent sporting events in Sendai. The first professional sport in Sendai was soccer and it did not arrive until 1994. I would like to do extensive research on why Sendai was ignored by the professional sporting world until 1994. Also, I would like to learn why soccer, as opposed to baseball and figure skating, was the first professional sport in Sendai. I chose to research sports becuase I have played sports my entire life and I wanted a research topic that interested me. Also, I would like to attend a sporting event while in Sendai.

5 Things I Want To Do In Japan

1. Try foods that I would never try at home.
2. I would like to visit a national park-no specific one- I just love nature.
3. I want to see Mount Fiji.
4. I would like to go to Disneyland.
5. I want to visit as many museums as I possibly can.

The way in which I hope to achieve all of my goals is to find someone who has already experienced these goals. I hope that they can help me to visit these places as well as recommend restaurants to me. Toward the end of our trip when we are spending the finals days in Tokoyo, I plan on visiting Disneyland. I go to the Disney World in Florida once a year, so I would like to go to Disneyland in Tokoyo so that I can see how the Japanese interpret American culture. I hope that my homestay family will be able to help me accomplish these goals.
