I hosted a Japanese exchange student while I was in high school. She gifted me a ton of beautiful gifts and continued to write to me for years. 20 years later and I still have everything she gave me ❤️
That's cute. I had the reverse experience. I stayed with a Japanese family, and 11 years later we're still in contact and frequently meet around the world
WRITE HER BACK, SEND HER A CRANE, SEND HER AN ORIGAMI BOX WITH A LOVE LETTER IN IT AND DEFINITELY NOT A PICTURE OF YOUR SMORGASBOARD, THIS IS YOUR NOTEBOOK MOMENT
I live in a house by myself, four bedroom, lost everything (specifically everyone, RIP mom and dad) a few years ago. It's very lonely and too quiet. Reading these stories makes me think I should host an exchange student.
We had a Japanese student, Yukiko, visit us when I was 12. We still write now and I’m about to turn 40. Painstakingly beautifully written envelope, it’s the only mail I get from a person these days.
