:? Hi, I have searched a few sources for a few questions I have after hosting Japanese students for the past 3 years and cannot seem to find them - maybe someone here can help.
1. What about the practice of having small hand towels with them wherever they go and cover their faces and also put them on their heads and walk around?
2. It seems that the girls we have had visiting cannot take too much activity. They tire easily (even after having been here for 6 weeks) and sleep ALOT! It is not unusual for them to go to bed at 12 midnight but then not wake up again until 2 or 3 PM the next day if they don't have a reason to get up. They will ask the night before if we have any plans and if I say we don't - they will sleep most of the day. I have even had to eventually go and wake them up so we can do something. Also - during class days, they come home exhausted and need to take a nap that may last as long as 2-3 hours. I don't know if this is simply an urban teenage thing - we live rurally and are used to a lot of activity and outdoor recreation.
Thanks!
