What interesting topic about America could I discuss in Japan


What interesting topic about America could I discuss in Japan?
I'm going to an international school in Japan in June for two weeks with three students and a teacher. Two years ago, students from the same school came to ours and talked about interesting cultural things about Japan (fashion, anime, school clubs). However, I have no idea what is interesting about America that I could give a little demonstration on. I'm not a sports person, or that big on fashion.

You can discuss the land of where you are coming from. Talk about what is special to your home area. For example, if it is mountainous or farming or big city talk about what makes your place special and unique. Japanese always have something nice to say about their hometowns and there is something special like food or a cultural heritage that comes from that place. You can do the same. Another idea is to talk about some natural or entertainment parks. You can mention almost anything, the idea is to spark thought and conversation. Everything is interesting if it is new to you. Avoid any confrontational issues such as politics and or social problems

You can talk about social events that are held in High school. That's something that Japanese High schools can't experience like homecoming, prom, school traditions, school traditions you've had, or different college experiences. You can also talk about very American traditions in depth like Thanksgiving, Labor Day, Mardi Gras, etc. Perhaps they will get a kick hearing about Black Friday.
