I wasn't really popular at school in general (I got along with everyone, but wasn't exactly Ferris Bueller), but I went on a student exchange trip to Japan and that was an interesting experience. Basically, I attended a Japanese high school for a week and saw what it was like. However, after my introduction there, people kept on waving to me and trying to talk to me (much more than with the other exchange students, who were more popular, normally). I still have no idea why it was, but it was awesome. So I wasn't exactly popular, but I was famous for around a week.
