Day 4

 Hellloo! Today was a very chill day for us! I woke up and made myself some pizza toast! After breakfast Halu and my host dad went out to the store and me and my host mom stayed behind. It rained all day long so we just hung out. We ended up watching The Intern and I really liked it. I thought it was cute. Then we had lunch, karaage and rice! Karaage is fried chicken and we had ours coated in sauce. In a way, it was basically boneless chicken wings. After that we all hing out and I FINALLY got to give them their host family gifts! They really enjoyed them and everything fit great! The dad said he had been looking for a good black hat to wear and that Japanese hats dont really fit him that well. I showed them the pictures I brought from home and they enjoyed that too. We watched videos of my combining cultures performances and they were really impressed. Shoko thinks I should join the dance team at my school. Then, I was feeling sleepy so I took a nap while Kyohei took Halu to burn some energy at the mall. For dinner we had pork, rice, salad, and miso soup. It was very delicious. Thats all for my relaxing day!

 Hi! Today was my first full day in Japan! I figured I would update this every night before I go to bed. But I realize it’s like 5 am for you guys lol. Anyways, my first day was awesome! For breakfast we had rice, sunny side up eggs, miso soup, and natto. Natto is a traditional breakfast item and its basically very sticky beans. I didnt really like them but it was okay. I helped clean up and then me and my host dad, kyohei, went exploring the town! He renovates houses so he showed me his current project and another house he did. I may be able to help him paint some of the house! After that we went to a small shop in town to get dango 🍡 and we stopped at a convenience store. It was really cool, they had a lot of things. Then we went home and had some noodles for lunch. At about 1:50, kyohei and I went to catch a bus to the train station. We took the train to togane train station and went to go see my school! I got a uniform for school and toured it. It was a very nice and big school. I

Travel Day

 Hello everyone! This is my first post lol. I’m writing this as I am sitting in the Chicago International Airport waiting for my flight. We left our house at 7:00 AM to catch my 11:50 flight. As we were about 20 minutes away, I learned that the flight got delayed until 3:30 PM. So here I am, in the airport waiting for another 2 hours. TSA was really nerve wrecking to go through alone but I made it! I was sad to say bye to my family but it all turned out okay. I am quite nervous about my flight. It’s 13 hours 😔. However, I think I will be okay. I am excited to land in Japan and meet my host family!  P.S ignore the labels on top until I figure out how to get rid of them lol this airport WiFi kinda sucks

 Hello! Today was ny first day of school! It was very exciting. My host dad drove me to the train station so I could catch a train to Tōgane. I was alone and waiting for the train when a girl came up to me and introduced herself. Turns out she was in my class at school! She introduced me to her friends and boyfriend and we rode the train together. We met up with Stef (the other exchange student at our school) and walked to school together. All of the students are very nice and made me welcome cards! They helped me understand what is happening during class. After school we toured the clubs. I havent decided what clubs to do yet. I was invited to many. I want to join volleyball club, karate, koto, and tea ceremony. Me and Stef went to the train station and met up with some other students. We invited them to go shopping with us. Only two if then could come and it ended up being really fun. We went to a huge mall and shopped! Then we got food at the food court. I had udon with a soft boile
