When I was in junior high we hosted a girl from Okinawa, Japan. There was a pretty steep language barrier (and she was a little afraid of the farm animals), but she was so sweet and we had a very good experience. Have fun with your guest!
Thanks for your response. Yeah one of my favorite quilty stores in Spokane has lots of yarn. That will be our first stop :thumbup: It has every kind of yarn you can think of.
My sister has 2 or 3 girls from Japan at her house all the time.
Some stay for a couple of months and others a year or longer.
They are so sweet. We are avid campers so she takes them camping. They've never done anything like that. Its so much fun to watch them having the time of their lives. The 2 went on 4 wheelers last year and they had perma grin all day. Fun stuff. My Brother in law is the coordinator at the Community College there so they are really into it. I had an exchange student from Austria last year and she spoke great English. I hope this one from Sweden is that good with her English. I can't wait to show her around and take her camping.
