If there’s one thing I’ve never heard anybody evoking as a reason to go to the US, it’s the food.

Some people have no sense of humor. Do you even have any idea what a “redneck” is?

I said on here that I have hosted exchange students about five times, and I WAS a high school exchange student as well. I knew that the tone might come off as condescending, but I was assuming that yes, people have common sense and they would be able to take the examples as a humorous caricature. I’m sorry if I have offended you.

I think these tips are suitable for hosting all international students not only Japanese students

It’s just a fun to read. 面白かった、ネタとして！

But simply, wondering if you have to take such a big commitment to accept international students?

If you worry, just try older students, I mean, such as university students.

I didn’t hear so much problems from foreign students with their host families when in the US, at least, from Japanese students.
Instead, host families had problems: I heard complaints from students, such as “My host mother is on cocaine!”

I’d say,
“Hey Americans, YOU have problems.”
