More Students Choose Universities in Japan

This article talkes about the number of college students studying abroad in . There are more people studying abroad in Japan than ever before (141,774 in 2010). While this is happening the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has found that fewer Japanese students are studying abroad (Down 11% fom the previous year).
I have never really thought of studying abroad before. My sister has gone studying abroad before, to Japan, and I can see why so many people would want to study abroad there, it is just seems like it would be a completly different world in Japan. When I see Japan in movies and the way my sister talked about it, I think if I were to ever study abroad it woud be Japan. I was however shocked that there were fewer people leaving Japan to study abroad than there used to be in the article it does not tell you why it has go down it just gives you the statistics but I plan to look into it and find out why.
