Hello everyone! My name is James Mason. I`m from New York City (NYC). I am an exchange student in Japan, I`ve been here for three weeks out of five weeks at this time. I`ve had a wonderful experience here in Japan in Tochigi as well as here in Yokohama with my exceptional host family. The sushi in Yokohama is spectacular, especially my favorite: Salmon Tataki! The Hippo Club meetings I have attended have been very fun and I am very greatful for the experience. Thank you all for your kindness, especially my host family (and soon to be families)! Japan is awesome!
