Meet My Family!

This is a picture on my host parents and my two host sisters!  They are outstanding!  This picture was taken on my third day in Japan but my first meal with the whole family!  We went out to eat at a sushi bar!  That was quite an experience!  They made me try some strange things, some were weird tasting but a lot of the food was good especially the dessert!  I really enjoyed the conveyer belt that went around to the tables!  Before this meal I was more like a guest in the house that could not speak Japanese, but after this meal I was like a daughter and a sister in the house that still could not speak Japanese very well!  After we got home from the sushi bar with full stomaches I gave them their gifts or "omiogi"  I brought from the states.  I brought my dad or "to san" a Los Angles baseball cap, I brought my mom or "ko san" a Native American necklace, for my oldest host sister a brought a Native American penny purse, and for my older host sister I brought a cowboy hat!  They all loved it!  I also brought a book about Wisconsin, barbecue sauce, tabasco sauce, candy, and a picture book!  We stayed up late talking and looking at the scrap book and book on Wisconsin!

Until Next time!

Day #2

Sorry, day one was great but short and busy so I didn't get time to blog.  So day #2!! First thing you should know is that I've never meet so many great people in my life! Everyone here is so great and I'm glad I'm not the only one who can only say about 5 words in Japanese!  We spent the day taking cultural learning and language survival classes and including 2 random fun classes!  I also was given the honor of eating Dinner with the president of Mitubishi Electirc USA!! It was really great to meet her, talk to her and thank her for the opportunity to go to JAPAN!! Also how could I forget my amazing Kumi!! Kumi just means group, so we just eat lunch together and have most of our classes together!! Shout out to Red Kumi and our awesome Sempi!!!  Over all great experiences, great food, great people!!!

-until next time<3
