Well today is my last day at the Hanzawa`s house. I have had a good week and on Thursday the exams finished so me, Miki and Azusa went out to lunch which was spaghetti! After that we walked down to the station and went shopping. I bought manga, Moriyama Naodaro`s CD and a DVD and lots of pens! Then we went for a massive walk and stopped for some food in a place next door to Mr. Donuts, to my horror, so I sat sipping some oolong tea while staring through the glass at the people eating the best donuts in the world and drinking coffee. I was a little envious to say the least. We caught the bus home which is a novelty for me and then had a massive tea which filled me up too much, so much food here. On Friday i did the usual school thing and after school like I do sometimes, I went to the library to read the paper in english. I walked in and sat down and then one of the teachers came up to me and just did a massive X shape with his hands and then walked off and there were two guys there who were like, `何...` (What the...) and I was saying the same. The teacher said to them really shortly, `explain..` and then walked off.
Now I know my Japanese isn`t fluent but believe me if he had simply been nice and explained that today was special and the library shuts at 4pm today I would clearly of understood. So the guys explained, in japanese and I was like, `thankyou for that` and yes, I was a bit taken aback at that but oh well! (And by the way it was only 3.30pm so i still read the paper and all was good)
Then after the paper I went to wait for my host mum at her work and came home etc etc. Today we went out to return some CDs of Miki`s and then bought cakes and now we have just had lunch. I am excited about Sayumi`s house but of course sad to be leaving here. I am sharing a room with Sayumi and she has two little sisters who I am looking foward to spending time with. I don`t know when my next post will be so I am sorry and also sorry for being slack lately, I just haven`t had time!

Oh no, Mr Donuts. I reckon you and I could open up a franchise here and make millions. Have you tried the melon soda at Mr Donuts? It tastes just like midori but without the alcoholic bit. Not that you should know what midori tastes like... Pens, pens, pens!! Japan must have every possible colour, shape and design of pen. And what about the way the Japanese sell their cakes - all nicely sliced and wrapped. Certainly beats a brown paper bag we get here. ぞうり and げた are the name of the shoes. Please say hi to anyone at Tachibana I might know. Now I want Mr Donuts!! Mmmm, double chocolate is my favourite. Have you tried ぎょうざ? It is so yummy!! 食べてみてくださいね。焼き鳥もおいしいよ。またね。先生より
Hi
Wow how time flies!! Enjoy the last leg of your wonderful journey...you will probably have a really strange culture shock when you come BACK home and notice all of the amazing differences between the two countries. Your sense of awareness will be so heightened.
Keep smiling and Enjoy.
Love Helen, Sandy, Patrick and Sophia
I have never ever been to Mr Donuts! We don't have that in Europe, I think... We might have it in bigger cities somewhere, of course we do. but swedes are just ''too healthy'' to enjoy donuts at a place where they sell almost only donuts... Good you have some western food, spaghetti! I would go mad if i would go for days without eating pasta at all...
and i remember the pen thing when i was in thailand! they are so cheap and they are so lovely! I love pens, asian pens are the best!
i hope you like the last host family and that you take care of yourself and everyone else down there! have a lovely time beautiful <3
emelie, xoxo
