!''Photo Homework ... to do in Kumamoto!''


Please take photos of the following things before you come to Minnesota.  These photos will be a part of your nightly homework with your host.  Each night you will show one set of photos to your host, and you will talk about them and explain them.  It will be a fun way to share your life and culture with your new American friends.  Things that are normal, everyday life to you will be very different and very fascinating to your host.

Please take (or download) 5-10 photos of EACH topic below and then upload them to your blog.  Write about them for writing class credit!
