Day 22

Hello! Today was a LONG day. I woke up and got ready for school! I left the house to catch the bus to the train station. As I got on the bus, I started to feel sick. So I got to the train station and decided to get back on the bus to go home. I felt so dumb to ride the bus all the way there just to get back on the same bus. I went home and talked to my host mom who understood what was happening. She told me we will go to the doctor at 4 pm. I ended up calling both my mom and brandon today! I had nice conversations with each person. We then had lunch and Halu took a nap. Me and my host mom listened to music that we liked! I was very upset and confused because I played Piano Man for her and it sounded different from how it usually sounded. I taught her about what the Mandela effect was and how it was happening to me. I swear that song was different and now Im mad. Anyways, we went to the doctor and it was so cute there. They tested me for a UTI which is what I had before I came to japan. I showed them the medicine I took and had been taking for the past couple of weeks. The doctor eventually met with us and told me I didnt have a UTI but, there was definitely something wrong. You see, I went to the urgent care in america THE DAY BEFORE I LEFT. I went and they gave me a bunch of medication but specifically a liquid one that I was supposed to take 2x a day for five days. The bottle said 6 mL per day. Easy right? Nope. I read the doctors note which said 300 mg. I was like thats a lot?! But I took the 300 mg which is about 30 mL. I TOOK THE AMOUNT OF MEDICINE I WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE OVER FIVE DAYS IN ONE NIGHT. So Im freaking out and my mom is freaking out. So I look up symptoms of overdose for this medicine. Its vomiting, nausea, and SEIZURES. Well the next couple of hours go by and none of those happened. Same with the next few days! What a relief! I was okay! WRONG 👎👎❌❌🙅‍♀️🙅‍♀️. All of the stomach issues that I was having here in Japan was caused by this accident. I overdosed and now Im paying the price. Moral of the story PLEASE read everything carefully 🙏. So they prescribed me some medicine to hopefully make it go away for good. If not, I may have a stomach ulcer or something and Ill have to see a gastronology? IDK. Mistranslation but my host mom knows so she can help. Anyways we came home and had dinner and I was able to take my first round of meds. I hope they help me because if they dont im going to be really mad. So today ended on a good note! Im so grateful to my host parents for taking such good care of me! They are so awesome and I was so lucky to have been paired with them! Goodnight everyone!

Day 1

 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 schoo...

Hello everyone! I am so exhausted! Today me and my host mom had girls day! We dropped Halu off at the daycare and caught the train to Asakusa, Tokyo! We got off the train and headed to shop. Asakusa is set up like the old time Japan with many different vendors set up in traditional shops. It was really cool. There was also a temple and it was really pretty! I bought sooo much. I spent $279 even! After we were finished shopping and looking around we headed to Ginza to shop some more. Ruby is going to be so jealous I know. We went to the Sanrio store. It was crazy! There was so much stuff I didnt even know where to start. My feet started to hurt so we went to dinner and it was really yummy. We had a lot of food! After that, we went back to where we came from and the. walked to downtown Ginza. It was so beautiful! Ginza is the most expensive part of Tokyo. The main strip was covered with stores like Bulgari, tiffany & co, cartier, Louis Vuitton, and soooo much more. It was fun to look...

Past few days.

Hello everyone! I know its been a couple of days. I have been pretty busy! Two nights ago, I was at a camp for yfu kids and I barely had any reception. Last night I typed this post pit but I fell asleep before posting it lol. So this is what happened the past three days. On saturday, I went to this gigantic mall with Nanami, Ibuki, and Stef. It was huge and it was sooo fun! I bought an expensive bracelet (sorry mom) but it was cheaper here than it would be in the US so a win is a win. The next day, I had to go to a YFU camp in the middle of no where with some YFU kids. It was pretty fun but I wanted to spend time with my host family instead. They served us dinner and we played a bunch of games and stuff. The next day, so yesterday, they took us to Narita to see a famous temple. The temple was amazing. The temples here are so gorgeous and I love looking at them. I attached a picture of a building here and its super colorful! I found out it was made of completely wood! Anyways, we got to...
