Normally before vacations, I spend a ridiculous amount of time planning. Since there's nothing left to plan for our summer ABD at this point, I have been spending a ridiculous amount of time clicking around on the ABD website. I clicked on careers (not sure why) and saw this:
"Language Ability
Currently, we are considering the following languages when assessing suitability to lead trips in destinations where these languages are spoken: French, German, Italian, Spanish, Mandarin, Cantonese and Japanese."
Seems to confirm those Japan trip rumors. (Hopefully this isn't old news for everyone here. It was the first time I saw it).
