Dancing to Japan

So I decided that when I applied to every possible business in my city and could not get hired, I should do some busking. Today was my first day out and I can't believe how much people were entertained! It was amazing! Along with that I made $90 for 2 hours of dancing. It was crazy how much energy the passerby's and the money gave me. I usually get pretty tired/bored of dancing at home within 45 minutes to an hour but I was able to dance with 100% energy! People were so nice (aside from some crazies). There was this one lady who was sitting down with her dog and a cardboard sign between her legs texting when I went downtown first, and after about 45 minutes of dancing she came over and said to me "You are stealing my f***ing money! I'm homeless" and proceeded to go to a Tim Horton's. It was scary and a little bit of a downer but I powered through! I'm thinking that if I busk every couple of days from now until I leave, I should have almost $1000.

Busking :D
Speaking of which, I should be getting my visa this week. I'm so excited because then I can book my plane tickets.

I need to start writing to my host family....

Finally!

I finally recieved my guarentee forms!
I'll be leaving Canada from August 23 - 29, but I believe school starts on the 30th so I'll probabaly go earlier rather than later.
I'll be attending Saitama Prefectural High School of the Arts (埼玉県立芸術総合高等学校). It's not like a regular high aside from we have to do math and english only. It is for four different types of arts: Fine arts, Performing arts, Imagining arts (photography, independant movies, CG, etc.), and Music. I was placed in performing arts which I think will be really fun to act in Japanese and I already love dancing. I'm so excited!
Now onto my Visa.....

I can't wait to start this adventure! So please stay and follow my updates on what its like to be a Japanese exchange student!
