Also, I knew some exchange student over there, and their host families tended to be VERY protective. They couldn't stay out late, go places unless it was supervised, etc. The host family would feel very ashamed if anything happened to their student, so they watched them carefully. As a teacher, though, I lived on my own, no host family, and I could go where I want, travel around Japan, do what I want, etc as long as I showed up for school and taught the classes I was supposed to teach. I had much more freedom.
I understand, but if someone like you were to take in a student, that would make their experience so much more worth while.......lol
