Day 35

Hello! Today was quite eventful! First off, my host mom, Halu and I went to a day care to meet some kids! We were invited by the lady who runs it and the kids were so excited to meet me. They had a welcome sign up and had me sit in the front like an interview. They asked a bunch of questions and they welcomed me! My host dad was laughing because they welcomed me like I was the president of the US or something. After a brief interview, one kid showed off his karate moves and I was quite impressed. Some girls performed a dance for me and then a brother and sister duo danced too. It was sooo cool. These kids are about 6-12 and they are so talented. The dances were very skilled as well as the karate. I was surprised because they were very good at english. They knew more than I thought they would. I spent some time playing with the kids and they were all so cute. We made keychains and they all made me one. After that we went home for lunch! Today was one of the hottest days since ive been here. It was just short of 102°. After lunch my host dad asked me to go to work with him! I was so scared because of how hot it was but I agreed. We got changed and headed out. I was tasked with prepping a wall and then painting it! It was a lot of fun! I got to wear his fan jacket, which is exactly what it sounds like. Its a vest that has two fans that cool down the inside. I talked with his coworkers for a bit and they were very nice. One of them was interested in YFU and hosting a person from another country sometime! My host mom came to pick me up around 4 pm. We then went to two bakeries and the pharmacy to pick up some vaseline. We went home and regrouped and decided we wanted to eat out. We went to a sushi place where its delivered to you. Its rotating sushi basically. It was really cool and really yummy. We came home and Halu and I shared some strawberry cake for desert! Im soooo sleepy after a long day of work so Good night everyone!

 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...
