I made it! After the long and very interesting flights involving mad dashes to the next gate and doctors being called for in flight, and meeting the most interesting ppl that liked talking the entire way, I am here.
Did you know it takes 4 hours to cross the entire of Tokyo by car?
My homestay family is wonderful and I am so glad they are patient with me and my lack of knowledge of both culture and language. Trust me, communicating is quite a show. But we`re both learning. English and Japanese. My Japanese is so awful... I should have stayed in Pittsburgh and at least audited half of Japanese II at CMU.
But anyways, first adventures of food involved cuttlefish cooked w/ dicon and cod eggs mixed in rice. Oh and miso soup.
It was surprisingly very good! I usually hate fish eggs.
Well, today is a holiday here. So no school, but Mrs. Yokota is taking me to TPU to sightsee. Good thing it`s not so cold here. The night is, but there`s space heaters and hot plates everywhere. Even the toilet seat is heated. ^_^
The house is traditional too. Pretty cool. That bath is an interesting difference.
Oh the toilets are all the ones that wash you instead of using toilet paper. That is the weirdest feeling ever. Haha.
Okay, bye!
