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).

It is always interesting to know the average schedule of a U.S. student's daily life(from average time of waking up to average bedtime) compared to a Japanese student, and briefly explain the ages and stages of schooling. Ask what their latest most wanted gadgets are at the moment and compare them to what gadget is hot in the US. Talk about what you yourself find fascinating in the US and /'or weird, and see if they agree. Talk about dating trends, fashion trends, automobiles, dining/food, tv shows that are popular, movies that are popular.
