My Dear Host Family,

Hello, my name is Yui. I’m a KGU student.

This college is in Kumamoto.
Do you know Kumamoto? There are many famous places.
Kumamoto castle is one of the famous places.
This was made by Kiyomasa Katou in 1601-1607.
It is very big and beautiful. I proud of this castle.
I want to teach you more details about this.
Would you teach me about you and your town?

I’m excited about staying with you.

The first week, I would go to many places which you like.
And places teach me American culture.
For example, the eating habits of the Americans,
a way of taking a bus or train and playing tips.

The next week I would go to many places which I want to go.
I want to go baseball stadium and cheer for Matui and Ichiro.
If I went to New York, I would see the State of Liberty.

The third week I would go ice cream shop.
I have heard that American ice cream is world’s best tasting ice cream!!
So I’ll research this by eating.
And I’ll rank them according to my taste!

The fourth week I want to go some place by myself.
And I will talk about my experiences on my travels to you,
then I would to sit in a happy circle.

The fifth week I will take you my favorite shop which I found.
If there are Japanese shops, I’ll take you there at any cost!
Then I’ll introduce Japanese culture.

Last week I’ll made photbook.
Photbook is my memory of our life.
