So yesterday (Sunday) I left my fifth host host family of 3 months into my sixth and final one. My previous host family (Fukaya) reminded me so much of my own family that it was really hard to leave. There were traits of my brother, sister, mother and father in just about everyone of the 7 members. That, and before I moved in with the Fukaya family, my host family was well... lets just say we didn't mesh as well as planned. I needed a family to support me because at this point I was a a very emotional and vital stage of my exchnage. And they just couldn't provide that. Anyway, in a sense the Fukaya family saved my exchange. At the time that I moved in with them, I really needed comfort. And thats exactly what they gave me. I was so happy with them. I really enjoyed my time with them and I definitely miss them.
However! I am now with the Shimada family. There is a mother and father, as well as three daughters. All around my age (14, 17, 20), so I really like it here. They are very sweet and I'm glad that they get to be my last family because I feel like they will support me with all of the ups and downs to come about leaving Japan. Also, in August they are taking me to Okinawa! I'm so excited! And for that reason today was the start of my diet! Haha I can't wait!
So I will be updating this blog a lot more often. I have forgotten how much I love doing it (even though it does not show through the number of blog entries I have). Please look forward to it!
