Dear Mr. Jenner and
Shelton Rotary Members,
Hi! How are things in tile
U.S.? Everything is just great
here. I've never had more fun m
my life. Everybody is so sweet
and friendly! All 59 students
from the U.S. flew over together
and you should have seen tire
welcome we got in Tokyo. Ttlerc
were hundreds of people (our
families and Rotary Club
representatives) waving signs that
said welcome and the name of tire
student they were waiting for. It
was really neat.
I just love my family. They're
super people. The country is
beautiful. The food is very
different but it's good. I don't
know if I've tasted any raw fish
yet or not. There was something
suspicious looking on my plate
last night so I just swallowed it
and didn't ask what it was. The
only thing I really didn't like was
some cold bean pudding. Before
my mother gave it to me she told
ROTARY DISTRICT Governor Cliff Laver of Courtney,

Lyon and Exchange Student Chairman Dick Jenner.
me that it was "very delicious
treat." I tried my best to look like
I was enjoying it, but ! must not
have been doing a very good job
of it because she told me that I
didn't have to finish it if I didn't
like it.
They tell us that most
exchange students gain from 20
to 50 p¢)unds while they are gone,
hill it's not our fault. You
wouldn't believe how much you
have to eat just to be polite. I
don't have any problem with
weight through. I tried out their
scales and I only weigh 65 (65
what, I have no idea, but that's a
pretty small number anyway.)
I'm really proud of the way I
handle chopsticks these days. My
only problem is when we have
something slimey or too big to eat
m one bite. Tonight we had big
slimcy onion soup. That was quite
a challenge.
The funniest thing of all is to
go into town. I'm sure there are
other foreigner~ in tow,t~,.b~t I
haven't see any yet. At any rate,
they are rare enough to be
noticed. Everybody stares. The
funniest of all are the little kids.
They point and chatter and giggle.
Then when I turn around and
smile at them they run and hide
behind something. A little old
lady stopped me on the street
today. 1 couldn't understand a
word we said, but we had a very
long and interesting conversation.
One of the things people find
so strange is my height. They
always have something to say
about that. You wouldn't believe
how little everyone over here is! I
just barely skim under the
doorways and when 1 reach to the
bottom of the kitchen sink, my
hands are almost knee level. (The
countertop is about 6" above
that).
Well, I'm about out of room
and I can't afford another page.
So till next time
Sayonara!
