Here I can see American culture directly with my own eyes and it expands my horizon. I’m deeply grateful to my host family and Glen Rock residents for making this possible.” Glen Rock families offer food and shelter to the Japanese guests at no cost. The students’ families pay 30 percent of their fare, while the Onomachi town council picks up the remaining 70 percent. No Glen Rock tax money is used to subsidize the trips, but all the Japanese honor the Glen Rock host families who make their stay possible and Glen Rock Mayor van Keuren and Planning Board Secretary Nancy Spiller for coordinating the trip in Glen Rock. Miki Suzuki, the middle school teacher, also went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and was tremendously impressed. “There was a song about the Met Museum in Japan when I was a pre-teen, so I was familiar with the Met name, but I was surprised to see how big the whole thing was,” Suzuki said. “The Temple of Dendur was very big. I saw paintings by Manet, Picasso, Renoir, Gaugin, Van Gogh, and it was impressive to see their original paintings. We also saw modern art such as Norman Rockwell. In Central Park, we saw Alice in Wonderland. It was big and beautiful. We went to Rockefeller Center and saw the golden figures and they were far smaller than I thought they would be, but I was glad to see them with my own eyes.” “This was a wonderful experience for the students,” Suzuki said. “They can’t do it in the classroom.” On the field beside the Glen Rock Pool, which is legendary in Onomachi, American and Japanese boys and girls played soccer and wiffle ball, laughing when the soccer ball flew over the cyclone fence. Others laughed when the marshmallows they were toasting burst into flames. “I don’t have to eat for the next three days,” van Keuren said after the feast of traditional American, Asian, and Italian foods. “I’d rate this a success,” the mayor said.
