Our very special guest for the evening of March 9, 2016 was Emi Yamazaki, our exchange student from Japan two years ago (2013-2014). Emi was the guest of the Byer family for two weeks and tonight was her last evening in the US.  Pam Byer spent 10 days in Tokyo a few months ago and hatched the idea to bring her back to the US for a visit.

 

 Emi talked about how her experience here taught her English and how to act and communicate with people in the US. It changed her life completely and allowed her to attend Hosei University in Tokyo where all classes are taught in English.  She just finished her freshman year in the liberal arts department. She has not chosen her major yet but is taking a lot of linguistics and cultural classes so that she can one day work translating or working with English in Japan.

 

During her time here she visited Penn State, visited Amish people in Lancaster PA, and stopped at Hershey Chocolate World where she bought some chocolate.  She also visited Lock Haven University with a friend from CB West High School and visited an exchange student in NJ who is from Japan.

 

Everyone enjoyed Emi's visit to the club!
