My husband went through an "I want to learn Japanese" phase and we were thinking of good ways to learn the language. Hosting exchange students came up at one point... at any rate, he's moved on from that now. Did you know any Japanese when you interviewed, or was that part of your training?

We should swap more stories some time. As for the food thing, I don't really know how to make anything without a recipe book. Most of the food is simple to make it's just hard to find the food to make it. There are asian shops in Boise though. Thanks. We should swap more stories some time.

I can totally relate with your description of stepping into a different planet. I know that Chicago is still in the US, but for a girl who grew up on a farm and just a few short years beforehand had been rodeo-ing, stepping off the bus (which i didn't know how to do. . . .i was so confused about how to get the bust to stop that I missed it . . .embarrassing) into a completely new place. On a random side note, do you know how to cook japanese food? the only thing I have had is fake sushi . . .I will trade you some really good fajitas for anything new and different.
