Japanese Guests
On August 25 we hosted a luncheon and discussion regarding life in America for 2 twelve year old students, a grammar school principal along with a tour guide from Japan. Chuck and Becky’s Japanese neighbor, Yaeko, was short one American family at the last minute and asked us if we were available to step in and host this small group. This was quite the experience. The 2 students, a boy named, Yuki, and a young lady named, Suzuki, had many questions about the American way of life. Yuki was most interested in the recycling that was being done in the U.S. We cooked an American lunch consisting of hot dogs and hamburgers and they were amazed that Bob did the cooking on the grill at lunch time. The students and principal brought us a number of gifts from Japan which is a custom of theirs to present these presents when visiting someone’ home. The children showed us how to play the games that they had brought and also showed Sue how to fold paper into different objects such as animals, flowers and shapes of boxes. Suzuki also entertained us by playing a piece of music on Becky’s piano. She was very good and it was delightful to listen to. It was a very enjoyable 3 hours to spend with visitors to our country.
