We have had a full day of lessons in Kanto Daiichi Senior High School and many students stayed at school until 6.00pm doing club activities. Everyone enjoyed their first night with host families and appreciated the wonderful obentou (lunch boxes) prepared by their host mothers (there is no school refectory).
