So with the school festival over with, we are now practising for out performance in Kyoto. Its our class trip and we get to stay in a traditional Japanese hotel. I'm so excited!! It means that there is either a huge indoor bath OR a huge outdoor bath. I must say I'm very excited. But that is in November so I will be with my second host family unfortunately and fortunately. I love my host family so much!!
Oh yes, this weekend past, my cousin came to visit from Akita. So on Thursday evening, I ventured down to Ikebukuro and met up with her. We ate okonomiyaki. Which is quite possibly the best food ever. It roughly translates into "anything you like; fried", Its also described as a savoury pancake. So delicious, I swear I could eat it everyday.

We got back to my place around 10 and my host mom and her friend waited for us at the station. She is so nice! We ate garigarikun and then went up to bed. In the morning we had to go to a Rotary thing then after we went for sandwiches at this small cafe near the rotary function with my Counsellor. It was very delicious. After we went for sushi. I ate whale. And I must say... it was disgusting. It was really fatty and just gross. After that we went to karaoke with my host dad, host mom, and counsellor. My host mother is very good at singing enka! My host dad was drunk so he sang a bit too. The next morning my cousin left and it wasn't really sad because we plan to meed again in the winter!
On that day I decided to meet some other Rotary students in Oomiya. It was interesting haha. I got lost in the station but found out they were literally 600m away from where I entered the station and ended up walking around for a half hour in search of them. We ate okonomiyaki after taking purikura. It was really hard to find the okonomiyaki place but this nice couple took up there. Times were had and then we went home.
All in all my life is pretty busy here. It is a nice change.
Today I don't have school so I went to the Rotary meeting. Got money, got paid. But I didn't eat anything even though it looked better than last time. My tummy hurts :(
So I'm going down to Ikebukuro to meet a Rotex (a person who went on the exchange program with Rotary but is now back in their own country.) that I met last weekend. I'm excited!!!
I will update as much as I can!! I'm so sorry!!
