Day 36

Hello everyone. In one week I will be home. Im really sad but I miss everyone so Im kind of happy. I started to pack today :(. My host mom and I started to tackle my packing and its looking like Im going to need another suitcase. Today was so fun! We went hiking on the top of a mountain! We took a gondola to the very top of a mountain that overlooked the ocean. The view was gorgeous. We hiked and hiked. Words cannot explain how sweaty I was. It was so hot out and we climbed and went down many many stairs. My knees hurt sooo bad. It was all worth it though when we got to this giant buddha statue. It was so impressive. We took a short break and then kept hiking. We eventually made it back to the lookout area and we got some mango shaved ice. We went down the gondola and went back home. I fell asleep on the way back lol. That was pretty much all I did today! Im so exhausted so Goodnight!

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...
