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.

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.
