Laurie Vander Wegen,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. W.
Vander Wegen of Shelton, is
spending a year in Japan as an
exchange student under the
Rotary International student
exchange program.
In the following letter she
tells about some of her
experiences in Japan:
Hi Everyone!
How are you? I'm back in
school now, and the new school
year has started. I only have two
classes, and they're both on
Saturday. I have 18 hours of
study by myself a week. That's a
bit much, but I'm also on call to
help with English classes. I get out
of school at noon. There is one
thing I don't like about being
back in school - the new
students. There are a lot of new
students who aren't used to seeing
a foreigner in school. I'm back to
being stared at again. Everyone
who was there last year is used to
me being around. It really causes
confusion when one of the new
students shouts out (in Japanese)
"There is a foreigner at school."
The other day that happened and
the gentlest person I have ever
met. There are four children.
Munetaka, 19 (boy); Mad, 17
(girl); Muneyuki, 12 (boy); and
Muneaki, 2 (boy). They are all
very nice. The youngest is an
absolute doll. I will take a picture
of him and the rest of the family.
Mr. Masuda may be hard to get a
picture of -- he is very busy. He is
an ear, nose and throat doctor. He
has to make emergency house
calls nearly every night. I just
recently found out why -
because of the way they prepare
fish here. They fry fish, leaving
the head and tail, skin, bones -
almost everything - intact. If
you're not careful you might
swallow a bone. Therefore Mr.
Masuda spends his evenings
extracting fish bones from
people's throats. He is very busy
with that, Boy Scouts, Girl
Scouts, PTA and Rotary.
A couple of Sundays ago I
went to Hagi with the Masudas.
Hagi is famous for the pottery
made there and, after visiting
relatives, we went to Hagiyaki
shopping and got a tour of some
of the kilns.
April 24 was the big festival
have dressed up in the olden style
kimonoes and costumes and
paraded to the Akama Shrine, and
prayed for him. It is really
beautiful - especially the young
girls in their kimonoes. I watched
them get dressed - they wear
about 60 lbs. of clothes. They
start out by painting their bodies
white, then putting on layers and
layers of clothes. The cloth is silk
and quilted, so it is very heavy.
The obi (belt) alone weighs over
10 lbs. They end up by putting on
a wig - which is olden style and
very heavy - the inside is steel.
They wear hell-shaped wooden
shoes which are fl~e or six inches
high and weigh over five lbs. each.
When they are through they can
barely walk - must have someone
on each side of them to help hold
them up. Luckily in the parade
they ride in carts most of the way
so don't have to do much
walking. We followed the parade
and went into the shrine with
them. The whole ceremony is
very elaborate and beautiful.
There is another festival soon
- May 5 is Boys' Day. Everyone
is flying colorful carp streamers.
This originated many years ago
school, but I had to go to Rotary
so didn't.
Well, it's starting again. It's
not so hot - but just so humid I
feel like I'm suffocating. I'd
better get used to it soon, because
it's going to get worse. Hard to
sleep at night. I've been leaving
my window open trying to get
some breeze through. The only
thing leaving my windows open
has accomplished is letting a stray
cat into the house. The cat found
its way into Mari's room and tried
to attack her parakeet at 2:30
a.m. Luckily, she was still up
studying, and scared the cat away
before the bird got hurt. Her last
two birds haven't been so lucky;
one got eaten by a cat and the
other by a snake that got into the
house. (I still haven't figured out
how it got upstairs, though).
You should have my U of W
and U of O applications by now -
I sent them small packet. Please
take them to Mrs. Martin. Also
find out about the Oriental
Studies schools - none of the
brochures say anything about
reading and writing Japanese.
Also find out about where I
would live. A year ago l would
have thought school dorms, but
that makes me laugh now - really
laugh. How many people want
raw Kabotsu and rolled eggs with
sugar for breakfast? And the
Japanese have some ways of doing
things that are 100 percent better
than our ways. I don't want to
have to change back in every way.
Well- think and talk about it.
Must go now - have a
Japanese dollmaking class in a
little while.
Love to all,
Laurie
