I know it's been ages since I have posted, I had a list of things I wanted to write about but unfortunatly I left my diary with the list at school.
My big discovery is that I have wireless internet at my host family house, so I will be able to blog as much as I need to over the last 2 months of my exchange even though computer club will be finishing next week.
昨日
Yesterday I went with my host mum to get school again to watch the kids performances and translate for the English teacher from Jamaica even thigh she understood most of what was being said.
Inbetween performances I wandered about the school and although people were not invited to, joined in with some of the classes. First I went to the first graders class where they were having music and practicing those pianos that you blow into to play. The first graders swarmed around me and played" twinkle twinkle little star" hopeing that I would listen to them play simultaneously.*giggle* they eventually got themselves sorted out and it was nice. They later joyed in playing with my hair and asking questions.( this was the class I visited last time I was at the school, where I was asked about my favrrite sadles).
I also spent time with my mothers class and we did syuuji "calligraphy". The days kanji was "大切な 命" which means "important existence".
When I finally found Shalifer(enlish teacher) the play was good. It was about how she encouraged the students to convey emotions and their thoughts. :)
昼ごはん
Lunch was nice,mum and I shared our luches with Shalifer as we had invited her go lunch ok short notice, desert was a cream puff from the schools principle. It was all yummy and I thanked the principle very much :)
After this I went with some of mums friends from the school, (the teachers are realy nice as it's a primary school) and we went to a cake shop. I had chocolate cake and mum had a green tea parfe that she let me eat some icecream from. After that I had a seasalt icecream( yes that's right, like on KingdomH), it was am interesting flavour but I like it.
今日
Today I ate pancakes and I plan to wash my hair.

おばあちゃん
Grandma I hope you got your card and enjoys it, I almost had to send it as a parcel as the map was thick. Thankyou so much for helping me in Japan, I really appreciate it so much :).
まだ やったこと ない
My host father here wants to feed me fugu(puffer fish) and says that it's not dangerous at all. I am still waiting to go to the maid cafe sometime also.My school friends had told me they want to go somewhere nice before I go, so it's either Disneyland of a bus tour of the countryside.
定期券
Train ticket ran out about a week ago, so that's why 1020¥ dissapeared so rapidly, actually my host mother lent me the money at first then I had to pay her back.
漫画
Was craving manga last week, and with no BOOKOFF near my current location I was forced to do something desperate. I had seen what looked like a BOOKOFF on the way to school along the meitetsu(overland train) line,about 30 minutes from Jingu Mae(a station).So in the afternoon,unsure if my ticket would allow me, or how to get to BOOKOFF from the station, I attatched the evangelion hair clips that icjad brought in Akihsbara, and began my adventure.

Thankfully my ticket let me out of the station I had never been to before.I started down the streets lined with shops that soon turned to houses, no idea of the streets that I had never walked ok before,following the train line that I had seen the store on. I walked for about 20 minutes before realizing, I was following the wrong line!!! So I backtracked a little, giving up on BOOKOFF as it was getting dark. I would try again another time. It was then I saw the big“ 本", the sign of BOOKOFF about 10minutes walk from where I was, only problem was that I had crossed a river and I could not find a crossing :(. I did find out but it took an extra 5 minutes.BOOKOFF was amazing, I think it's the biggest in Nagoya actually, it's like a warehouse. I spent 10¥ on manga :) My GPS brain lead me back to the station and my ticket let me get back onto a train which happend to be the train I catch home from club usually anyway . I am so use to the train times now :)
レミ
Remi gave me some sad news two days ago, she is no longer able to to to Australia as her dad did not provide his passport :( though she states that she is okay and is continuing to learn enlish :) she still wants to come to Australia and my house, she just can't come next year.

That's if for the moment, this is a rather long post, I am off to wash my hair now. I did the bold letter coding for this myself as my iPhone won't let me write my blog in "compose" mode, so sorry they are not orange like usual

Take care and hope your all well.
Do send mail if you have time.
