Japan Experience Day 14 (Aug 11) Last day with home stay families!
Today is the last full day for the JE students to be with their home stay families, therefore this will be just a short post.
Marvin trying to master noodle-slurping at lunch today!
Marvin visited Shibuya again with the Fukuda family, and then he was to have dinner with the Principal tonight.
Jessica, Angeline and Justine went to a special shop today where they were dressed up by an expert in the art of wearing a kimono. Mrs. Hanai said they all looked wonderful (sorry, I haven't got any pictures yet).
Mrs. Hanai also arranged for the girl's luggage to be sent to the airport in the afternoon by a special airport courier service so that the trip to the airport by train tomorrow is easier on them (the weather forecast said it will be a humid 37 degrees).
Tomorrow. August 12th. The last day of the program. I'll be there to see everyone off, along with the home stay families. Since it is almost 9pm on Saturday now at the time of this posting, our JE students have less than 24hrs left here in Japan...
