Simon (15), an Explorer Scout from Newcastle, England. Ten people from my District are going to go to the Jamboree in 2015.1 can't wait. We're going to fly from London to Yamaguchi in Japan with stopovers in Paris and Tokyo, then we're going to travel by coach to Kirara-hama, which will be the site of the 23rd World Scout Jamboree. We'll be at the Jamboree for ten days and I think it's going to be amazing. I'd like to go hiking, because I think the Japanese landscape will be really beautiful. I know I'm going to meet a lot of new friends, so I'm not going to be homesick!
Elena (14), born the Russian Union of Scouts in Moscow, Russia. I couldn't go to the last World Jamboree because you have to be 14, but next time I can go so I'm really excited! We're going to travel by plane from Moscow to Yamaguchi, then by coach to Kirara-hama. Am I going to miss Russia? Well, I'll probably miss the food and the weather (although they say it isn't going to be cold in July in Japan!). I'd like to meet some other Russian scouts, but I also want to make friends with people from all over the world. I think I'm going to practise my English a lot!
