Henry in Japanヘンリーインジャパン

Yesterday I finally decided to give my temporary host family a call.

They only speak Japanese (great for learning the language.)

It went well.

First my host father answered the phone with “moshimoshi” and I said “こんにちは！僕のの前はヘンリーです。僕はホスト即” which means “Hello! My name is Henry. I’m your host son.”

After a few moments my host father gave the phone to my host mother and we talked for almost 2 hours.

She was using a Japanese-English dictionary and I kept on thinking of what to say to cover up the long pauses. My host father is a computer engineer and host mother is an accountant. They live alone in a small apartment in Tokyo as their kids are all grown up.

In the end I think it went really well and they seem very nice.
