MONEY!!!

Konnichiwa JB winners!

I hope you guys already know about the costs for this competition .... if you're still unsure, here is a quick glance:

application fee per team - $5o
application fee per student - $50
lodging fees if staying with 4 ppl - $40
lodging fees if staying with 3 ppl - $50
lodging fees if staying with 2 ppl - $66
lodging fees if staying by oneself - $132
(remember, if you are staying outside of the center, it will get expensive!!!)
plane tickets per student to W.D.C. - (with-stops) ~$350, (non-stop) ~$600

If we consider the plane with stops, then we should expect around $4400 total (or more if lodging preferances change).... and the plane with no stops will obviously cost us more...

So, with that in mind, Team IV has been discussing with sensei any ways possible to obtain this money.
Sensei has connections with the company in Austin, Tokyo Electron, and from what sensei said, that company is willing to hear us out on our proposals for grant offers (from them!).
We have Japanese game shows in mind!!! Most of us are familiar with ''I Survived A Japanese Game Show'' correct? We are thinking of doing the same things....

Here is the plan: We get all teams to come up with game show ideas (up to three games per team) and we list all the items we will need to set up that game. The prices of those items will be added up and whatever sum we get, we will report to Tokyo Electron, giving them an insight about our ideas of these gameshows.
If we can get through with them, then we will use their given grant to set up these game shows, and will have them in the gym during LASA lunch. Each student who is coming to participate in a game show will pay an entrance fee of say $5 per game. Each team will host their own game shows by the way. This way, hopefully, we can earn more than what we were granted from the company.

Another way to earn money is this: hosting a massage club thing in sensei's room XD
Do you guys know the corner of his room with the books, right next to the wall with the Astroboy painting? Well, he proposed that he bring in his Japanese wall thing (those folding walls) and set up a quiet area in that corner, along with chairs and mats for massages. XD And those who host that area (us students, but not all!!) will dress up in yukatas.... I really like this idea because, c'mon, we hard-working LASA students/teachers get tired all the time and we need a massage here n there sometimes. Charge per person will be around $1 per 3 minutes?
That idea is pretty neat.
So please sign up for any game show ideas in sensei's room!!!

Other ideas include:
DDR
Karaoke
Obstacle Courses (where they do math real fast XD)
Sumo

if you want, go to youtube.com
search ''japanese gameshows'' and look at various episodes to get an idea.
Please come up with game shows that are do-able and will engage students to participate and donate!! XD
But also, consider the items that will be needed to construct that game setup....so...yeah. think guys! :D :D

gambatte ne!
