Day one:
I arrived at Kagoshima airport and met my family today! I was very sleepy because I had travelled for around 16 hours, but still excited! When I met my host family they had a sign with my name on it. Some family members weren’t there due to sports but I got to meet the mother, oldest sibling, and the youngest sibling! They were all very kind and welcoming! My Japanese isn’t great so it was difficult to communicate some of what I wanted to say. However, they know some English so it was a little easier to communicate! Before we went home, me and the oldest sibling visited a convenience store. I got Pokari Sweat and Meiji Milk Chocolate, which were both very delicious! When we arrived at the house they showed me to my room and after bathing I fell asleep very quickly! It was a good day and I can’t wait to see what we will do next!
Day two:
I woke up today around 7 am. My host family had made me eggs, sausage, and bread! It was very delicious! Afterwards me and my host family did the dishes and then cleaned up the house. Once this was done, the oldest sibling and I walked to his friend’s house who we then went with to visit two shrines! One was big and the other was small. The big shrine looked very pretty! I took many pictures of the shrines! We had visited a store near the largest shrine and I wore some traditional armor that the store provided! It was very funny. After this we went back to the house and the oldest sibling made me ramen which was super good! When we finished the ramen we all relaxed and I took a nap. Once I woke up, I got to try my Japanese school uniform and then help with preparations for dinner. I got to help make Takoyaki! It was very fun and tasty! While I had been making this the other two siblings who weren’t at the house arrived and I got to meet them along with their friends! Their friends were really kind and gave me Japanese food I never had before! The food was very tasty! Once we finished dinner, I got to show my host family different American dollars and they showed me Japanese Yen. I then arm wrestled the youngest boy sibling and won. After this me and the family went to bed. Today was very fun and I can’t wait to go to Japanese school tomorrow!
