@ellezbth99 Lol smh
If you had to sign up and audition for the programme, what do you think about the host family?
Did you think they randomly picked a normal, average Japanese family? Obviously not. If you had to pass an audition, then the host family likely had to pass even more stringent requirements. They are NOT what a typical Japanese family is like
And what do you think is the purpose of cultural exchange programs? To make themselves appealing to you, obviously. Realize that what you experienced was a highly curated, more or less choreographed programme
This is not to say it's a bad thing. It's like visiting Disneyland. It's a fun thing to do, go enjoy it by all means. It's just dumb to think what you experienced in a cultural exchange program as an outsider is representative of what everyday Japan is like
It's like how you often hear of foreigners who come visit Malaysia all rave about how amazingly hospitable and friendly Malaysians are. But you as a Malaysian know that the reality of life is that many Malaysians are absolute assholes towards each other. But hey, foreigners are foreigners, they think Malaysia is some kind of paradise where everyone is super nice, so let's keep them in their bubble and not ruin things for them, right?
Anyhow there are people with even dumber delusions, so you keep doing you
