I'm back xP
It's been a while since last time... 2 months? Yeah, well, that's the time which I haven't been able to be on a computer, on. So I've been here in Japan for a little more than 2 months now. There's happened so much that I even can't remember half of it... So I guess that I'll just try to make a short summary of that time... Okay.
The first three weeks was spent at a language school in Tokyo. On the first day in Japan I received my host family, which consists of 5 people (that time 6 though) . 3 children = 2 girls, age 8 & 7. 1 boy, age 5. Mother 32 and father 30. 2 dogs and a big aquarium. The 6.th person was a German girl. Came to Japan the same time as me (she moved out after a month). This familys' house is located in the West (?) part of Kawasaki. So, that's where I've been living up until now.
The far most strangest/scariest/funniest experiences so far here are: When a transvestite (old man with a blonde wig, tights, skirt and makeup) began reading Hamlet (?) in English, out loud in the train when he saw me... This was scary... he didn't even look like a woman =.= a total failure -.-" Luckily I only had to ride it for about 5 minutes... Second one... ah! Becoming friends with the owner of an Latino-club (in Roppongi)... The strange part in this was that even though he knew my age, he promised that me and my friends could come there for free, anytime xD Yuh... Oh! and I just have to include this! Japanese people get drunk so fast! xD Seriously. a pretty quiet friend of mine (18yrs), drank about 4 cm (dunno' how much that's in ml) from a normal sized glass (25% alcohol, blended with something (?))... After that he was compeletly wasted xD He talked so much! And the best of all was that he smiled and wasn't tired at all for the first time x'D Hmm... Things that I've eaten so far ex. Inside of an cows stomach, jellyfish, ice cream in a bag thingy, kakigori (ice thingy), mocchi, sweet beans etc. Every single one of these experiences was sort of unique... But all of them are yummy except from jellyfish and the cows stomach. ^^
My school is called "the rusty kingdom" by all of the exchange students... that's because, that is exactly what it is. But I love it... We have school uniforms. A navy blue skirt, black knee high socks and a white shirt... Oh! can't forget the ugliest shoes that I've ever seen and even worse, have to wear! Green Uwabaki... jurusanai... But they're only for indoor use =)
My class is 105 (ichi maru go) and my classmates are all really nice... Though they think that I even don't know the colors in Japanese -.-" I've joined the tea club in school, it's interesting... I love rooms with tatami mats =3 The smell is so good... We have this teacher that almost everyone hates because he's mean on purpose (that's why I just can't bring myself to hate him =P) he told me that I'd better watch out not to eat too many snacks (in the tea ceremony there's always snacks) or else I would get fat, and then he sucked air into his mouth and made the cheeks go all round. But because my cheeks already are as round as they are, I just replied "Dakara" with a smile (that's why) and patted my cheeks. His face was so nice that time! It was written all over it like "why is she smiling!? Why doesn't she look unhappy and sad!?? I just called her fat!!" He's nice. yet, I've so far only managed to make real friends with Japanese guys, the girls are almost completely impossible to get close to, unless you can talk the language fluently. But i think that I'll manage in the end... :D Ganbarimasu yo!!
Hmm... Haven't got a boyfriend yet. But I have a guy that I like in the same school... Though he's a third year student which means that he's out of my range... IS what I'd usually say! if he wasn't a friend of mine xD wahaha! I'm so good! No... sorry for that.. Right now I'm sick. (have the influenza) so my mind is a bit corrupted =P Okay. So let's go to the present life here. I've been sick since Monday. From Tuesday to Friday I had to stay in an hotel (because of my A Gata influenza). As highest my body temperature (fever) was up to 39 C degrees and as lowest to 35 C degrees. I've just recently started eating again. Which means that I've lost about 2 kg of weight during that time. But now I'm completely healthy again! Still going on drugs (medication) but healthy =) I'm temporary living in Kanazawa bunko, in another host family (my real one has gone for a trip). I wouldn't mind staying here for the rest of the exchange year though xP The mum (only member of family) is so nice! and she only speaks in Japanese! I've already learned so much from her!... And this is close to school... Oh yeah! I forgot to tell you. My average day here starts at 4.50, when I wake up and get ready for school. 6.00 I'm out of the house, walking towards the closest station (30min) after that I ride 4 different trains for about an hour and an half to get to the school that starts 8.40. Still, I like it... The trains are nice... yeah. I think that I'll end the post here. But I'll probably come back later. Bye"*
