R you can't pass up-all these phrases and more encour- age consumer response to offers in the mail. But Sandy Yurkofsky found a worthwhile item among piles of worthless junk mail. She decided that 15:13 postage was a reasonable investment to check out an offer for a Japan trip organized by the Youth for Understanding, simi- lar to AFS. After she passed the selective screening process, Sandy traveled to California's Stanford University for orientation. Along with 90 other pro- gram participants, she gained a working background in Japanese customs and life style. 'tAt first things were awkward among us fpar- ticipantsl, but we became so close- knit after a while. Four days later, on July 5, the group left the U.S. on an eight-hour transcontinental flightg then they split up and each traveled to differ- ent assigned destinations throughout Japan. Sandy met her host family from Yokahama, the Nakayamas. She studied at a private school for a week. Sandy notes that Japanese schools are structured like American private schools-administrators en- force a rigid dress code. Also, stu- dents enroll in more advanced Q -9' courses at a younger age. , ' 1 4 July 7is the date of Yokahama's Tanabata , festival. Women wearing decorative kimonos perform traditional dances.

The school year commences in September and concludes in July. Extracurricular activities resemble those of most U.S. high schools. As many Americans would expect, Japanese cooking involves traditions from past generations. Striving for culinary perfection, Japanese women prepare each meal as an art. All formal meals are eaten on the floor and involve an artful arrange- ment of diners and foods. The stan- dard diet is based on rice as a staple, often with fish. Because of their high costs, meats such as beef are not con- sumed with hearty American fervor. Sandy admits that she sampled raw fish, a delicacy in Japan, and finds it a tasty dish. Coke, sake fa rice winel or beer accompany as drinks. 224lWilliams-Zumbrun 'UN While in Japan, Sandy attended traditional dances and festivals, swam, visited mountain and ocean resorts, went to discos and learned to construct Japanese dolls. Most Japa- nese women collect dolls, combining homemade and purchased figures. Japan is a land rich in many other traditions. Most homes have a Bud- dhist or Shinto altar, more for tradi- tional rather than religious reasons. American vending machines and musk were ubiquitous. Sandy also observed the Japanese love for T- shirts adorned with Western slogans. After two months, Sandy returned to the states with souvenirs, pic- tures and momentos from a trip she'll always remember. Editors' note: The following win- ter, Sandy reunited in Disney World with her Japanese host sister, who is spending the year in Nebraska as an exchange student. e 1 .9 - , J! 2 E . ,W -V3 rf' 1.5 1 .ww 0 .lead 'I .5': .rr - ,ilk ' - ' A .
