From Claudia in Japan
I hope you are doing great!  I could not write to you sooner due to the fact that I changed host families and had one week off from school.  My new host family is very nice.  They are really making me feel welcomed in their home.
          I have two younger sisters and a younger brother.  My host sister Yuko will be the next exchange student from Monbetsu hosted by District 6990.  She is a bit shy and a little nervous about going, but I always tell her that everything will be okay and that she will have a great time.  I have not done much within the last month.  It is starting to get a bit warmer here.  The icebergs have drifted off, but it still snows.  Wednesday and Thursday of this week I went to the city of Furano to visit the exchange
student that lives there.  We had a great time together.  We went to the movies, ate lots of McDonald's, and talked really fast in English (all of these things I have not done within the past month and a half).

          Joe Jones and I are planning on meeting up at the end of March.  He will come to Monbetsu for a week and then I will go to Osaka for a week.  I am really looking forward to seeing him and talking to him in person.

          Well, I have to go now.  Give my regards to everyone at the Davie Rotary
Club.  Take care!
