Dinner With Friends
My host parents were good friends with Leslie's host parents, the Okayamas, so we ate with them on two occassions at our house. The Okayamas also fed and took Leslie, Joy, and I to the Okaeri festival one weekend.
When Mr. Okayama saw my sketchbook progress, he was very impressed and gave me two tickets to a nearby art museum (which I took Frances to). They were a really lively and fun family; Mrs. Okayama loved to shout out random English phrases after a few drinks, and Mr. Okayama was very interested in the students. It was great to spend time with both families (and especially having Leslie around to speak English to).
