Caity, Midori and Hayley have this to say...

This posting comes from Caity, Midori, and Hayley, who took time out from the BBQ Saturday night to write the following:

Japan is a fantastic place, and we really enjoy it here. The people are very curious about Americans, and we feel like pop stars because everywhere we go people come and talk to us. This morning we went bowling, and there was a very big arcade. Hayley won a fish!! Afterwards, we went to the mall, which is very different from the malls we have. Everyone would watch us when we walked around; some even said hello. We met many new people there.
When it was time for dinner, the Sanvino parents had set up an elaborate barbeque. There was a large piece of split bamboo that was slanted so water ran down it. They would stand at the top of it and slide somen noodles down to the waiting people with their chopsticks. They also had about seven grills out with many different kinds of meats and vegetables and fish. It was delicious!
Japan is very, very different then America, but the experiences that we have here will be unforgettable.
Konbonwa!
