HOST: The family was really glad to hear from me because they needed some information about the computer they should buy and so on. We contacted each other several times and I invited them to my house. I also invited some other Japanese families who have children in High School so they became friends before school began.
NEW: We had a lovely experience with the buddy family. My buddy told me about All passes which we would need. And took me around to show where to places I would need…playgrounds I need to know…Info about after school classes. She is wonderful.
NEW: For me , my buddy was wonderful as she could tell me about registering with the NHS, etc as well as recommending supermarkets, doctors, hairdressers, etc in the local area and talking about “how things worked in the UK”.
