Homestay for a short while (my English is deteriorating faster than my Japanese is improving).

Ok, so I'm pretty much doing my mini homestay right now. It's with the family I'll stay for a long time with though. They're so nice! It's mindblowing ^^

So basically thus far, I've been to Tokyo, Hiroshima, Kyoto, and back to Tokyo again. It's been really awesome. I've loved Tokyo the most though. Hiroshima and Kyoto were good but Tokyo is ichiban. Right now I'm listening to ARASHI on my host sister's cd player. Yes, that's right Kate, ARASHI. There was this shop in the market outside Asakusa on the first day FULL of ARASHI stuff. Mind blowing. There were watches, fans, posters, stickers, keychains, everything.

I won't post anything more right now but know I'm doing well and more interesting stuff will happen later. I'll also put photos up soon.

日本に行きます!(I'm going to Japan!)

Started packing so I thought I'd start blogging too. My bags are wayyy too heavy right now. I'm definitely going to have to pay for them being over the limit. I blame homework DX

To summarize my trip: First I'm going on a school trip with 24 other senior Japanese students all over Japan, then I will be staying in Japan for another term as an exchange at the same school as my peer and friend Sarah (http://jjjapanesejourney.blogspot.com/)

So, follow me and my travels through Japan... but mostly Tokyo.
