At the meeting Friday for E's upcoming trip to Japan, her teacher told the students they'll need to bring gifts to give to their Japanese host family, as well as any friends they make during their stay. She suggested buying Easter candy since it should be on sale. We were lucky to find some Hershey bunnies and Cadbury eggs at Target. She also suggested looking for anything with the American flag on it. We found some treat bags, pencils and little flags. Her teacher said one year her students visited a Japanese elementary school and handed out plastic Easter eggs with a chocolate candy inside and little American flags and the kids were thrilled. We have a long list of possible gift suggestions. Among the more interesting items were hand sanitizer, car fresheners, seasoning salt, character Band-Aids, cute shape pasta and fun nail polishes. She even put can opener on the list, which seems a bit odd to us. The trick for E is to bring enough gifts but still have room in her suitcase for all the clothes she needs to bring. Our next mission is to find her school uniform - black or navy skirt with a white button-down shirt.
