Everyone,
I'm sorry that my Japanese isn't so good but I wanted to let you guys know about something important. Most American host families are great but sometimes there are some that are really bad. If you meet a bad host family you can contact the following person:

I've had many Japanese and other international student friends live with bad host families that just wanted their money and didn't treat them right. So hopefully this information can help you or your friends out.
When I lived with a host family in Japan, they treated me so nice! So it makes me angry to see Americans treat Japanese and other international students badly.
This way, if a host family causes problems for someone then that host family won't cause problems for you as well as future international students. You can fight back!
