First of all I send apologies to anyone who is insulted by the amount of time which has passed since I last posted. This is simply that I am really in quite a rhythm now and settled into life here that getting on the computer can be a little tricky.
However, this moment needs to be recorded in my life history.
Today brought with it a new meaning to the phrase, `I am so hungry I could eat a horse`. Sitting in a traditional Soba restaurant my host father leans over to me and points to the table opposite. He goes on to say in Japanese that those five people are eating a raw horse. I simply think that my Japanese is so terrible and it is yet another misunderstanding.
I was wrong. Quite literally those five people, who happened to be school students were eating a horse. Only small portions of course and Dad stop laughing and Amelia, I am so sorry to tell you this and yes I too was disgusted but kind of just in shock. Can`t say my food tasted all that great afterwards.
That is my story for today. I shall post with something a bit more constructive at a later date.
Love Melissa xx

Ahahahaha!!! I laughed so hard when I read Amelia's comment. It reminded me so much of "I'll never be rich, my horses need me too much." Haha! I think I cracked my rib with laughter just then. Sorry, Amelia.
