Now that i've been in my home for about a week and half I have some other tales to share. It was the most shocking I think the first day because I was so engulfed in all the new sights that I couldnt really rely on any japanese to communicate with my family. And the first day mainly comprised of my host brother teaching me vocabulary words in japanese, and then having a party (because it was his birthday) as well as my welcoming party, so we went next door to where his uncles family and grandparents live, and I was questioned thoroughly (mostly in japanese) to which I answered as well as i could and they all laughed when I said something strange in japanese, it was very fun, theyre great. The next week was all the break before school, so I found that I didnt have an awful lot to do with any people, because clearly I hadnt made any friends considering I'd been there a couple of days. But still fun, because I had japanese lessons and met new exchange students, and I got to see a lot more of the city. On a side note where I live especially, you enjoy riding in a car because the VAST majority of the time you ride bikes every day, for longgggggg amounts of time every day. And finally the day before I went to school came around, but surprisingly I wasn't very nervous, despite having to give a speech in front of the whole student body, in Japanese. But I'll save the post about school for another time.
Thanks for reading
