No school uniforms, girls wearing makeup in class and the size of the 7-Eleven Big Gulp drink were among the wonders Wednesday when six students from Fairfield’s sister city in Japan visited Armijo High School before a planned trip to Jelly Belly.

The students, from 14 to 16 years old, live in Nirasaki, about two hours by express train from Tokyo, and attend schools where uniforms are required, makeup and jewelry are not allowed and an after-class visit to a 7-Eleven store yields a drink small enough to inspire the teens to collect big 7-Eleven cups here as souvenirs.
