Finally i have uploaded photos, i hope you enjoy them, please comment! Well here we have one of the rooms in the house. A whole heap of relatives came over the other day and it was really interesting to see the kind of ceremony thing they did. This room smells so good, of inscence so it is really nice!
Sorry this is sideways, not sure how to fix it as of yet but tilt your head! This is the bathroom. You have a shower out of the bath, and get perfectly clean and then once you have no soap or anything on you, you can get into the bath. The bath is red hot but awesome once you are in it. It is really deep too! There is a little stool to sit on while you have a shower but... i tend to just stand haha.
Grandad`s favourite food. I was so shocked and i am lost for words, i will leave it up to you. Slurping and burping here is polite which i am finding hard to overcome for those of you who know me even just a little.. you would understand how hard it is for me to keep a straight face sometimes haha.
Here is the view from my hotel room in Chiba. You have to wait for the chance to see in my room but how awesome is that view, don`t you agree! I was pretty high up, room 1204 to be exact!
Dinner. This is classically what i eat each night, the main meal just changes. This was at the Chiba OVTA Hotel and don`t ask what is in the big bowl, i am merely the consumer. Then there is lot`s of rice, miso soup and little pastry dumpling things filled with cream.
Ok, the picture above is of from the left, Michelle, Helen, Me and Rebekkah. It was taken at the Chiba OVTA Hotel and they are all from Australia and are all here for 10 months.
This picture is my house! The Hanzawa`s house! That is the front door and the house is actually really big but it is like a little maze.
This is my room and Maddie and Rach, see your lovely bag in the corner. My bed is really warm and you can see my blessed heater! I always have to turn off the heater when i leave the room and the lights, things like that are apparently expensive here.
Okonomiyaki! It was so so yummy and really filling. That is Miki and I, she is lovely and Mr. Hanzawa took the picture for me. Well there you go, there is so much more to show and tell but for now this will have to suffice! I hope you are all well and i will talk again soon, also sorry for posting everyday but it is school holidays at the moment, i have a feeling that when i start school these posts will become less and less but yeah, thankyou very much for looking and commenting, it means a lot to me xxx

okonomiyaki?? That is my favourite Japanese food. Don't you just love the sauce they put on it? Well, Ruby and Emerald walked away with no trophies today while Sapphire and Topaz took 2 each. It was a cold day but I was impressed to see Erika run 800m. So was she I think. The Tachibana students will be spending their first night home in their own beds tonight. It was strange but funny at the airport saying goodbye and 'say hi to Mel' at the same time. Lots and lots of tears and that was just after 3 weeks. So you've tried okonomiyaki, what about Mr donuts? Has your home got a computerized toilet with the seat warmer? Hey, your trackies are in Japan now!! And how many times have you heard いっらしゃいませ every time you walk into a shop? Love the pics!! here's a new word to learn なつかしい.
Supermodel Sensei
Natsukashi, a new word! i was on to that the other day but am always getting it confused with the word for difficult! No, haven`t had Mr. Donuts yet but you seem to love it. Oh please say hi to Erika for me, i miss her! I hope the class isn`t too boring without me, don`t worry i will be back in 12 weeks to disrupt like never before! Thanks for the trackies!
