Japanese Kids

For the next week and a half we have two Japanese boys living with us. One named Yoshi and another named Kaziyoshi. They are here with this foreign exchange type program where they come to Utah for a week and a half to play golf and visit America. It's pretty fun having them around since you get an idea of how different yet similar their culture is to our own. One thing is for sure, their electronics are far superior to ours. I remember 3 or 4 years ago one of them having a camera phone, something that was unheard of in America at the time. This year one of them has a phone that looks more like a digital camera than a phone. It has a 3 megapixel camera with flash and games that look almost Playstation 2 quality. From my observations they seem to constantly be about 3 years ahead of us when it comes to electronics. Another way they are much different than ourselves is how they act and keep themselves. When I was helping them unpack, everything is in perfect order with their nice cloths being kept in their own little bags to protect them from everything else in the suitcase. Their also very well mannered and respectful. For instance, we took them out to TGI Fridays last night and I was telling one of them to try the guacamole that came with their dinner, he tried it but based on his reaction I don't think he liked it much, but he still ate all of it after I told him about it. I'm pretty sure he only did that not to be disrespectful to me. One way we're similar however is music and movies. They seem obsessed with American culture. They love baseball and football and their favorite bands are Britney Spears and Backstreet Boys. They also really like Nelly, 50 Cent and Ludacris.
