Close-up on Iapan How would you like to spend a week in Washington D.C.? loin the Close-Up club and travel to our capital. The students who attend experience the government first hand and go to lectures and semi- nars that deal with all three branches of the government. Topics include the press, Congress, the Su- preme Court, and defense. Also, you could join AFS and spend a year in a foreign country as Anne Ball did. Anne retumed in March after a year with a host fam- ily of ten people. She attended an all-girls school and had to wear a uniform. Classes were hard. Anne said, because the teachers talked so quickly. Anne leamed to speak lap- anese by talking to her host family and friends at school. Anne lived an hour and a half north of Tokyo. She often traveled into Tokyo by train to meet other Americans in Iapan and do shop- ping. She also rode the famous bul- let train to Kyoto and spent the en- tire three hour trip standing up because of the number of people on the train. When asked what she missed most about Iapan, Anne replied, My host family, Iapanese and American friends, and some of the food, such as, rice cakes, sweet red bean cakes and raw tuna.
