Host Family Party 2002

The Host family party 2002 was held on January the 18th at the gakushi kaikan. It was now the second party of the newly set up host family program.
The reception.
	Opening speech by Professor Tamai.
Introducing speech by Professor Koike
	Speech by Dr. Hori about the successful history of the program.
The new members, yet without their host.
	After the "Kanpai" everyone enjoyed food and talking
For some hosts it wasn't their first foreign student they took care of.
	The first talk with the new host, didn't pose a problem to anyone. Everyone was interested in better knowing the other.
There were many things to discuss ...
	... with a drink ...
... or with some food. Sitting ...
	... or standing.
Some pictures from the self-introduction of student and host.



Note the height difference :-)

Obviously a successful party
	There were also some speeches from old members who talked of their experience with the program.
Student as well as host told many stories about what had happened during their time together
	Even as being part of the family.
Everyone left the party with a good feeling.
