びくり！！！
I`m back my loyal followers!!!
after 3 weeks without computer access i am finally back to write my blog, who would have ever thought i could go 3 weeks without a computer and not breakdown and have a fit.(i almost did)
gosh there is so much to tell you all, big thanks to Mainge for getting me followers and i hope you all enjoy hearing my storys and about life in japan.
i will tell you all of my current host family life, but i must inform you that i will be changing host familys on the 29th which is a holiday here, and going to the Nagato family. life at the Taguchi house is very busy, which i have detailed in the letters i have sent to my parents and michelle.(please share those with grandma and grandad mum) so instead of spoiling the fun of reading them first hand i will elaborate on them a little instead.
the zoo.
the zoo has a built in theme park with a rollercoaster which i went on with Taro(my host brother) aswell as the pirate ship which is my faverite ride and my family may remember at seaworld last time, i went on it over and over again. teeheehee. i saw penguins and otters and aardvarks(they are about as large as a medium sised bush pig) and armadillows(varky will be happy). they had tigers and polar bears and rakuda(camel,lol Mainge) . there was a reptile building with aus crocs but no brown snakes or black snakes*pout*. when i get home i might want one of the animals i saw in the mamal area. (mum find out on the letter,share with my followers).they sell them as pets in tokyo and i might just snag one, declare it and have it in 6 months as i dont think they have them in aus.
kabuki
went to kabuki on wednesday and it was awesome, all the drama teachers at emmanuel would have loved it, the movement and costume especially were wonderful and i knew the baisic storyline thanks to the librarian who found me the english translated story. the characters were strong and the staging was wonderful. did you know there was once a kabuki in which women played the female parts? but it was ban as it was deemed to erotic. *giggle* so now men play the female parts.pretty men. one of the most famous kabuki actors in japan was in this production, his name is Ebiso and he played 5 characters.amazing.
(Ebiso`s name translates to prawn-so, ballina isnt the only place with a famous prawn)
school life
school,is good. thats the roundup of feelings. so far i have been to many clubs including the ESS (english speaking society) where i can speak english a little and help others learn it.
two weeks ago i went to kendo-bu, the schools kendo club, but when i found out that they do full contact every practice i was a little worried. not for myself but for the other students, i do not want to hurt anyone.
today i am in persocon-bu and i shall hopefully be coming here atleast once a week to write my blog.they give you texts to type up to practice your typeing and that is the main activity but i think that if i work on my blog its just as good.
elasto-bu, my most loved bu(club) which is, in english, anime drawing club.(who would have guessed) i have many friends and i can chat a little easyer due to my knowledge of anime and its characters. everyone in the school known i love evangelion, even the senseis, one of whome brought me an anime poster from the newspaper. my best friend in kendo-bu is yuka or sempai (dear Michelleo///o yes i actually get to call people that in a non-yuri way,or so they think)
in class i have made friends too, Nouko and Misaki help me alot.
must go now. but i am addicted to corunes, choc pan.
much love to you all and i hope you enjoy this.

short post today.
letting you all know that i will only be online once a month.
i went to nagoya castle yesterday. it was good. i had sakura icecream.
school starts on tuseday.iam scared. i will have to do a speech.
life in japan is busy and i feel crushed alot. my spirit is shrinking, moral? thats what they call it usually yes? because i know there is so much study ahead.
the study skedual is busy in japan, study in the hours before school, during lunch and after school. dinner and shower will be quick then more study. makes me want to cry and i almost did just at the explanation.
the food is good though. last night we had okonomiyaki and takoyaki. yumm
suzu pika appatosauru and megumi are good companions. they are kind.
i hope i make friends like them at school.
no one emailed me, so i take it noone reads this, why do i write all this and try to get on the net if noone reads my blog?
words are frusterating. sometimes i know a word or sentance. but at the moment its all just confusing bable.
take care all. be happy.send me mail

すず
next blog, its been two days since my last. wow
much has happend but i will give you a breif summary.
きのう
yesterday was slack, i woke up at 9 as usual and went with baa-chan (grandma. you can hold the baaaaaa for as long as you like xd) to a smoking restaurant, *could not breath,so afraid i will get cancer* we had a dish with pork and onion, though i tryed to avoid the onion(dad you know why) baisicly i spent the whole day saki-chan(cousin) and oba-chan sitting.or so my host mother put it.though saki-chan and i made some impressive origami including a fox.mama and i were chatting and i learnt the japanese word for bell, its suzu.in the evening my host family decided to call friends and get me to speak to them in english even though they didnt understand. risa has a friend called deguchi(exit in japanese) she said "are you exit?" he said "i am exit" *giggle* after that we brought up toung twisters. i said the woodchuck one "how much wood would a woodchuck..." and my host family came up with japanese ones, i taught them "one fish two fish,red fish,blue fish" i also washed my hair. yay.
きょう
today`s breakfast was toast and a mini hamburger, also in a smoking restaurant but it was not as bad. todays main attraction was atsuta gingo(shinto shrine)baisicly its a big park which is like a forest in the middle of the city with little shrines. the first shrine we went to was for the fire-god, following that we went to the lady-god and the dekiru or "i can" god. i saw a sacred tree, very special but i cannot remember its name. :( i did a little luck thing that cost ￥200 and i got a peice of paper saying my fortune, i got the most forunate and shiewase(happy)i also got gifted a dragon bag dangily by obachan (there are two, host mums mum and host mums mums mum, i call them obachan and baachan*giggle*) lunch was takoyaki, my new faverite.(octopus balls) and icecream afterwards. we all went shopping and i got a stitch pencilcase, lucky carebear pen,snoopy plush note book/callender and a bag tag.today i also brought a capuburra(look it up) whos name is now suzu. her name means bell, a word i learnt yesterday.that also happens to be the name of this post.tonight i helped papa cook dinner which he said was a quick otaku meal(everyone thinks i am an otaku)only shower tonight, no bath. going to bed now. if you read this email me.
short tale "usagi-la"
we were about to eat icecream and i was asking about flavours, one of them was "bunnyla" for a while i was puzzled, but then i realised they were trying to say "vanilla" i explained to them that bunny in english is "rabbit" or in japanese "usagi" now when i say "usagi-la" we all have a laugh.
