Hello! I'm sorry I haven't posted anything for a while!! I've tried to write about my second weekend three times already but all 3 posts are forever stuck in the middle of saving and can't be edited or even opened so I spent a lot of work for nothing. Anyways, my trip is almost to an end and I will post more pictures about my adventures over here soon!!! Thank you for taking the time to read this!!!
If I have learned anything so far on this adventure, it's that Japanese high school life is tiring lol Not only do I sometimes have 7 periods a day but I have to bike 25 minutes to and from school lol and it's really hot and humid here. And I don't even do all the work that my fellow classmates do lol also, unlike America, where we have only 6 classes each year, I have had 18 in the past week lol And after doing school from 8:25 to 3:00 or 4:00, students will usually join club activities! Even it's tiring, it is a lot of fun! I have joined the Track & Field Club and have been running distance with some really cool guys!!! Also, I went to Kendo Club on Tuesday and Thursday!!! :D Kendo is soooooo cool!!!!!!!! :D I love it a lot!!!!! :D I have made a bunch of friends from all the classes and clubs I have gone to lol Yuuki also introduced me to 唐揚げ, the Japanese version of fried chicken. It is super good and students can buy it during lunch or after they're done with their club activites!!! Lol I can't wait to see what happens these next 4 weeks!!!!!! :D
This past weekend has been a lot of fun!!! This last Saturday, I went to a real ramen restaurant with my Host Family and I ate a bowl of ramen and some gyoza! It was super delicious and I don't think I will ever be able to eat Top Ramen ever again lol Sadly though, Yuuki couldn't come because he had a club activity to attend. Also, I went to a library with Papa. I got to look at an Akira manga and it was pretty cool haha That night was the Welcome Party and I got to meet new people that were on the Japanese side of the Spokane-Nishinomiya Sister City Program. I also got to see old friends that I made when they came to Shadle in years past. Each Host Sibling had to do a skit kind of thing together lol Mine was feeding Yuuki food from behind his back without looking lol it was a lot of fun! :D The next day I went to a mall with Mama and Nagichan (Yuuki's little sister). There were a lot of things I wanted to get but it was really expensive lol I however, did get a little Totoro magnet and I won a Luffy figure in a skill crane thingy! It was a lot of fun and the mall was really big! Haha I then went to a DVD rental store with Yuuki and Nagichan. We rented The Dark Night Rises and Death Note. I watched The Dark Knight Rises with Yuuki and he thought it was super cool!!!! :D Also, I am officially caught up on One Piece and now have to wait every week for the next episode lol But, one of Yuuki's friends let me borrow some One Piece manga so I can read ahead!!! :D Hooray!!!! :D
