Most of the students belong to clubs which consume much of the students time because of practice and activities. Ai was involved in the music dub at her school and is very talented in singing and playing the piano. According to Ai, the fashions in Japan are much the same as in the U.S. In most schools the students dress in uniforms, but in her sc hod the students did not like wearing uniforms and worked out an alternative dress code, with the administration. In Ais opinion the American girls are prettier but the boys are much the same. The teenagers enjoy rock music and the boys like motorcycles. Since Ai has been in Utah she has been tasting lots of ice cream, candy and different foods. Ice cream is her favorite but she likes all the foods she has tried so far except red licorice. She misses the raw, fresh fish that is eaten in her country. The studentbody at Union wish Ai a successful school year and an eqjoyable experience in America.
