    Yeah you can . They realise that their food may be unusual for you..I did turn some food down. I felt bad but they were absolutely fine about it!

    So, what will I do if I don’t like what they offer me (after I’ve tried it, can I turn it down?) I have a 1 hour 10 minute commute to my school! HOLY GEEZ

    @KowaiTori oooh.. Well you will find EVERYONE to be really nice! I didn’t come across one rude person (besides on the train in the morning maybe.. THAT was crazy.. rush hour-could barely move!!)
    Maybe don’t do what I did with my other host family (who were very traditional, unlike this one)..They took me to a restaurant and offered me some weird noodle soup thing with fish eyes and all sorts in it :| I didn’t want to try it.. haha.. So you should try whatever they offer you! :-)

    How was it? I’m so nervous to go!

    I’m going on a 4 and 1/2 month home stay trip and I’m really nervous. Are there any tips you might have for me in regards to how to act (I know the basic Japanese culture and behaviour) but some first hand experiences that you made mistakes on might help! Thanks!

    Well I have learnt Japanese for about 7 years. So I knew a bit when I went over there..and it was a school trip too. Some spoke English, some better than others. It was hard to order food from McDonalds. lol

    haha yeh we only learn basics at school. Well it’s starting to get a bit more complicated with my last year at school.
    Not really a study group, but anyone who takes Japanese as a subject in years 9 or 10 could apply. About 22 of us got selected. We went sight-seeing and yehhh :)
