Salem Teikyo University students in West Virginia, mainly 174 Japanese first years, prepare for a two week Christmas break after final exams. Omori 19 and Takahashi 19 express desires for family meals, Japanese food, and improving English speaking with Americans while exploring Maine for skiing and learning from a host family. Christmas in Japan is modest for Christians and decorations impress students, though most homes are not decorated.
