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.

  2. Hi Boo, I have heard that you may be off to a new host family soon, hope they appreciate our special girl in Japan. .
    Be careful at the martial arts school (full contact I hear) those emu legs of yours could do some damage !
    Sounds like the Animae club is right up your alley and I understand it is very strong currently in Japan.
