For nine days we've had a 15 year old Japanese student, Chika, staying with us.This is our first time inviting an international student into our home - and it was a fabulous experience for us!
We managed to show Chika some of the sights of SE Qld including Southbank (in the city), Burleigh Heads (on the Gold Coast) and Dreamworld! She went with eldest DD to Girl Guides.
We ate at a Japanese and Thai restaurant - Chika loved both (especially the Japanese and she'd never tried Thai before!) She got to watch the girls play school sport and enjoy an "aussie" family BBQ. She ate all the food we served her including home made pizza and spag bol!
There were tears on Wednesday night when we gave her gifts for her and her family. I made an album (cover above - inside pages below) of her visit with us and have since made eldest DD a wall hanger with some other pics from Chika's stay (for LSBS 52 Pick Up challenge #11).
Eldest DD and Chika are emailing already - planning her next visit to Australia and asking us to visit her in Japan! So I guess she enjoyed herself too!
