I really wanted to do an homestay and Kotah-san and Sayaka-san welcomed me in their home to help with their daughters. I had a lot of fun and living with them was great.
Their daughters are cute and sunny, they have a lot of energy and I love spending time with them and sharing their lives and culture.
