Day 30

 Hello everyone! Today was my second to last day of school! Today we cleaned our classroom! After school I went with some classmates to get gyoza near our school! It was sooooo good. I love all the food I try here. I dont know what is my favorite. I came home but when I arrived, no one was home! I waited outside for my host mom to come back. She came back and we hung out for a bit. She then asked me if I could make tacos for dinner! Of course I said yes and I immediately began searching for a good recipe. We went to the nursery where Halu plays! Its very nice and I think there should be something like it in America. Its for women to take their little little kids to play. They have a bunch of toys to play with. Its not like a daycare where you drop off your kid, you actually play with them and other kids. Next we went to an international grocery store where we picked up some chicken, tortillas, spices, some ground beef for Halus hamburgers, and some other stuff. Then we headed to another grocery store to pick up some other things that we couldnt find. We were able to get everything successfully. We went home and I took a shower. We prepped the chicken while we waited for my host dad to get home. Once he was home, we started to make the chicken. It turned out really good. We had them mexican style, so only onion, cilantro, and lime on top. We almost couldnt find lime but we did! Also, they call cilantro coriander here. My host mom said she doesnt like coriander but shed try it on the taco. We were so excited to try the tacos! They were soooo good! Some of the best I have had! I had two chicken tacos when suddenly, disaster struck! There was only enough chicken for one more taco and we were all still hungry! I decided to make more but with the ground beef! It took about five minutes to make since I had everything prepped already. We ended up using a whole pack of tortillas lol. My host mom ended up loving the cilantro. They were so happy and satisfied with the dinner! I was so glad they liked it and was happy that I didnt mess up the recipe! Anyways, I am so full right now I could pop. Goodnight!

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...
