Hi there! Another norwegain is always nice :3

Anyway, I'm not sure I understand you. Are you going as an exchange student with one of the exchange agencies (utvekslingsbyrå)? Because said you'd be staying with a host family... Usually you won't get to decide where you'll end up living and going to school, the agency will decide this.

If you're going to go there without the help of an agency, you probably won't be able to stay with a family, unless you can somehow befriend someone over the internet that's willing to put you up for 2 years.

Anything else you need help with, PM me. Although I don't have any experience with exchange to Japan, we do share the same language!
