I had a host brother, Kevin. He was really interested in
Japan and asked me many questions. Talking with him was
fun. However, it was difficult to answer some questions. For
example, he said, "Why do you say "Tadaima' when you get
home? Why do you take off your shoes when you enter a house?"
I couldn't explain the reasons. After I talked with him, I felt
like learning about my own country.
In the end, staying with a host family was a great experience.
Sometimes we couldn't understand each other. However, I kept
trying to speak in English, and they listened to me carefully. I »
want to visit them again in the near future.
