Day 26

Hello!! Today was very fun! I woke up and had to get ready for my appointment! If you couldnt tell, I got my hair cut! The salon that i went to was amazing and they did a really good job. After my appointment we went to go get lunch at Mcdonalds! I thought Japanese mcdonalds was better than american mcdonalds. Also EVERYONE knows about the whole trump fiasco. It made it to the news here so fast. Imo it was an inside job, no way ss just let some random dude scale a wall with a gun. But I digress. I got a teriyaki chicken sandwich from mcdonalds with fries and a mango smoothie. We also got both the apple pie and the banana caramel pie. Im not going to lie it was really good. After we had lunch, we went home and relaxed for a couple hours and again, spontaneously decided to visit a shrine. The shrine we visited today was the one they took Halu to when he was around 60 days okd so he could be blessed. There was this challenge to walk around this path three times. The path is rocky and you have to do it barefoot. If it hurts, that means you have bad energy and spirits in and around you. Me and my host mom did it and it actually didnt hurt too bad! I felt bad because we lapped this guy twice cuz he was in A LOT of pain. Then we visited some bakeries and got some sweets! We came home and I ate swordfish for dinner! It was actually really good! Im very tired so goodnight everyone.

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 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...

Hellooooo! I had sooo much fun today. I had such a hard time sleeping last night. There was a huge storm last night. It was pouring with really bright lightning and really loud thunder. It was really scary! The power went out for a bit so that was crazy. I felt like I was back home im WI lol. I didnt sleep until 1am so I slept in today. This morning I taught my host dad how to play skull king! We had a lot of  fun foguring it out. Then some old lady neighbors came over to help us wear yukata! Yukata is traditional summer clothes. I aas originally supposed to wear one of my host family’s but the lady let me use hers. After I put it on, she decided to give it to me so now I own a pretty pink Yukata! Then we hung out until it was time to go to a family friends house. My host mom knows her through the daycare that she tales Halu to. She lives in a traditional style Japanese house and it was absolutely gorgeous. We hung out there for a while and then we stopped at a bakery on the way ho...
