Introduce about my host family

 During the KAIGAI-KENSYU, my host family took me many places. I did fishing,rock climbing, KARATE practice, Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, Minnesota Historical Society,Museum and Mill city. Our house is not near the Minneapolis but they often drove a long time and taught me many things. I can't forget that.


 My host father, Pat had a big chance that the new job may visit them. So he always tired but he is kind to his family and me, I had heard that they had a quarrel. Then my host sister worried about me "Are you ok?" but it was not a big problem to me. "My parents often do like that too" I said, she laughed. Now,I remember the days and want to back to these days.
 The first day, Pat wore the T-shirt that rainbow color and I thought "he is American!!" because there is a little people who wear like that T-shirt in Japan, isn't it? However he looks very nice in rainbow! Anyway, that's is good.
 Tammy is so kind mother but she is a teacher in home school. So she often said to me "Ikumi, say "PLEASE PASS THE SUGAR, LET'S!"". She loves her family and her dinner was so delicious!! I eat Mexican food, Minnesota's traditional food, Chinese and so on. Everything is great. I want to eat again...Umm.
 Shannon is a student of university. She had a part time job so she always busy. She want to be a actor, she loves a play! They gave to me her picture that was took at party for graduate. She was very cute! I went Mall of America with her. That time was wonderful.
 I had a lot of time that spend with Katie. She was belong to our program that KAIGAIKENSYU. I was supported by her. She likes Japanese, so she learned Japanese too. We talked about many things, sometimes I asked to her and she answered and sometimes she asked about Japanese culture to me and I answered. I learned many things from her.


 Sean likes games! He often play the game and POKEMON, of course I tried that! When he taught me how to play it, he spoke so fast, then I said "Sean, please tell me one more!". Sean said "OK, sorry:(" It was so funny.
 Kiera likes a princess. Her room is so lovely, there are many stuff that Disney's princess. She often came my room and said "Ikumi, can I open the door?" then she just try to speak, how to ask to the people. I said "OK!" she open the door and showed me her favorite stuff, sometimes I read her favorite book to her and Sean. This is Tammy's plan. She said that that is my reading practice and Kiera and Sean's listening practice.



 Sean and Kiera was young, so I don't want to forget about me. However I can't call them. I miss you guys...I hope I meet you again. No, I visit you again. So please don't forget me. I will send e-mail but sometimes I had a lot of homework, so I can't replay soon, I'm sorry. But I heard, next grade is not many homework, maybe. I hope so. Then I can send e-mail and a letter, yeah!
