Masanari

Ben's dream since junior high has been to host a Japanese Exchange Student like his friend, so this week is his opportunity: Masanari Tsuyisi arrived Monday night and is staying with us for the week- leaving Saturday morning.What can be better for a Japanese teenager then playing the Wii in America?
Or eating a Subway sandwich?
Or sining in a group to the American host families?

We are very excited to have him here- tonight we are going to Goonter Toody's, and Friday we are headed to Casa Bonita. What an exciting adventure!!

  2. Do we speak Japanese? Let me put it this way...last night Ben and Masanari spent 20 minutes laughing at me because I couldn't pronounce his last name, and then when I told Ben to pronounce it, he flatly refused!

  3. I just googled Gooner Toody's because I have never heard of that before and it pulled up your blog! What is Goonter Toody's? How fun that you have a cultural experience right in your own home! Can Audra teach Shanelle Japenese the next time they get together? :)
