The Japanese Trio

Last week we had not one or two but, three girls staying with us. We usually host older students around 19 or 20 years old but this time our girls were only 13 and so cute. Two of the girls, Megumi and Aki, were from Shizuoka. Our third girl, Kayo, was from a province next to Shizuoka named Aichi. Both regions are widely known for their production of Green tea and their close proximity to Mt. Fuji.

We had a great time with the girls. They started off the week quiet and timid but by the end of the week they really came out of their shells. They each had a one on one accordion lesson with Pete, enjoyed an Electric Slide dance lesson from Jenn, and kicked our butts playing Uno.


It's funny, when we get our college students the school always takes them to the mall for a day of shopping. Our older students spend an obscene amount of money on various designer clothing, high end jewelry and hand bags, and brand name shoes. Our younger students have the same opportunity to go shopping at our extravagant California malls. They opt to skip all the fashion hoop-la and head straight for the candy. Mind you See's Canday, does technically count in California as designer grade candy. Typical pre-teens, too cute though! We will miss these girls a lot and hope to have the opportunity to see them again in the future.
