The Weekend

Okay, so, I’ve spent a whooolleee day at my host parent’s house. They’re really nice, and I’m ‘specially loving my little host brother, whose birthday is actually in one week! Well, after me and Karen got to Miyako’s airport, we met with our host parents and.. split. I went back to my host family, and I spoke.. really bad Japanese to them.. but they kept saying “Jyozu!” Which was really funny, because my Japanese is terrible. Haha, well, after that, their neighbor came to visit and I found out.. I’d be only going to school for two weeks.. what the heck? Dude. I just got really bummed out, and really sleepy after that.

After our neighbor left, my host sister and I went to take a bath. Lawl. Together. She just started taking off her clothes and I was like.. What do I do? What do I do? I was freaking out inside, but like.. she’s only eight, so I figured.. Eh, what the heck. And we washed our hair and rinsed ourselves off and got into the ofuro. Omg, that thing is so hot, but sooo nice. After you get out too, it feels really good. Haha, my sister, Kaho, is so adorable. She plays violin, piano, and she does ballet too!

Well, after that, I went to sleep and woke up around.. ten? My sister came to wake me up. We ate breakfast and then I got a visit from Karen! And another host student.. Irin? And Karen’s host sister Minami. So, they came by and they convinced my host dad to let me go explore Miyako for a bit, he agreed, asking that I be home by.. three, because Kaho gets home from ballet at that time. So, I was off to Karen’s house!

After arriving at Karen’s house I got a short tour and we all chilled in Karen’s room. We flipped through some magazines and talked about some actors.. and about Miura Haruma(?) Who is the main actor in the movie Koizora. He’s super cute btw. And it turns out, Minami has tons of pictures of him on her keitai (cellphone) and she showed all of us. That time we spent together just made me feel like I bonded more with Karen, Minami, and Irin. Oh yes, Irin also convinced my host dad to let me hang out with her after school tomorrow, which will be super exciting.. given that it doesn’t rain.. I had lunch at the Shimoji’s and we had soumen. Suupperrr good! Soumen is like.. cold noodles. Like.. well, I don’t really know how to describe it..

So we left, and then on our way to see my new school, (I won’t be going to Miyako High btw, I’ll be going to another high school.. for only two weeks. What the heck. D:), me, Irin, Karen, and Minami went to Purikura! It was tons of fun, I really want to take more. Like.. posing is really hard though. XD The fun part is decorating though. <3

Anyways, after that I returned back to my host family and we went grocery shopping. At dinner time, I actually made dessert. It’s my favorite Vietnamese dessert, and even though it was really spontaneous, I did okay. I had told them about a tofu dessert that I loved to eat, and so they wanted to try, and they bought ginger to make it. Haha, I really love my host family, they’re just so awesome. Yeah, so after I finished making it, our neighbors came over and we ate it together, along with a Japanese bean dessert which tasted like another Chinese dessert that I had. Then, I went to sleep!

Yeah, Sunday wasn’t very interesting, but I’m going to school tomorrow!
