Host Information
For about 5 months, I was under the impression that I was going to Matsuyama City, (red dot on map). I recently discovered that I’m actually going to Iyo, which is a town about a 30 minute train ride Southwest of Matsuyama. Iyo is vastly smaller than Matsuyama. It’s larger in area than Salem, but while Salem has a population of about 150,000, Iyo has a population of 40,000. Also, I’ll be attending the Iyo Agricultural High School. My first host family consists of a Doctor and his wife : they have no kids. Takeo and Kiyoko Fujii are their names. To me, they will be my “otoosan” and my “okaasan” during the first few months of my stay in Japan. I haven’t really been able to find much information about Iyo on the web, but I did find my school’s website, along with some pictures.

Wow! That is so cool! My high schoool, Yuri Gakuin Senior High, I personally can’t find any information about it… but whenever I look it up it keeps popping up with catholic school.. hmmm. If your going to an Agriculture school… does that mean that you have to take classes on farming and such? That would be a different prospective! I also was so naive to think that I would be going to Kobe… but no I am going to go to Amagasaki which is about… 30 or so minutes away from Kobe.
Hmmm.. Amagasaki (I know! It is so much fun to say!) is actually a fairly large town with a population of 460,000 people! WOW! And I am trying to figure out if I am going to a catholic school or not.. I kind of don’t want to but whatever. So yeah, Amagasaki is a really big town!
