how exciting tho!

so are you going to university there as an exchange program or something which is why you have to live with a family?

I am going as a mandatory part of my year. I had the choice of either living with a family or in a dorms. I chose the family as a way of forcing myself to learn. So I am completeley immersed in Japanese culture as much as I possibly could be.

I can't wait to meet them :)

I was under the impression that Japanese people weren't particularly religious. Besides, I didn't even think they'd be Christian. Heck, I didn't even think! (no comments of 'as usual').

Do they have Internet? :)

[mofette.livejournal.com]

nope, not many families in Japan have a computer, let alone internet -_-;;

Hey babes, Christians aren't that bad! ;-)

*hugs* Hope it all goes well! Are you staying with them for the whole year?

[mofette.livejournal.com]

I know they aren't

but asking me to live with a christian family, where no doubt they'll be asking me stuff is a BAD idea

oh well, I'll have to mail you about it

Well, they don't sound too bad. At least you don't have to learn about a whole new religion and have to live with it, unless you really wanted to learn about Shinto or whatever it is the Japanese usually practice!

The girls might not be very exciting but at least they're the right age group, they might have friends you get along with. Good luck *hugs*

The family sound great! and they're a walkable distance I think!!

The Japanese are usually of no fixed religion, and would usually not claim to practise anything.

Shinto is indeed very common, and so is buddhism. Christian is VERY uncommon, so I'm quite weirded out by this!! :)

Think of it as helping reinforce your year of monklike devotion. (Hmm.)

I'm sure you can corrupt them all to evil ways by sheer aesthetic excellence.

or not. I can eat lots and lots of sushi and get completeley fat

I'd actually *like* to do that!
