Sorry for not posting sooner, but I am happily spending time with my host family. The Yamashita family is amazing and they've welcomed me fully, it's been a lot of fun. I'm so grateful to be in Toyohashi with them and the school that I'll go to, everyone's been so kind.
Yesterday I went shopping(かいもの or kaimono) with my little sister Rika and her friend, we rode our bikes to Toyohashi Station and parked them underground, then walked to the shops on the other side of the station. We went to an office supplies and books shop first and I bought markers and pens for drawing, then we went to some other places and I bought some Alice in Wonderland earrings at Claire's. (Not gonna lie, Claire's in Japan is so much better than America.) We walked around a lot of other shops and finally rode our bikes back home, where we had a really delicious dinner.
So far we've had a lot of interesting Japanese food, like Nabe and Okinomiyaki and DELICIOUS Onigiri, and they've all been amazing. Tonight I think we're having Takoyaki! YUM!
However, I've been having so much fun that I haven't really taken a lot of pictures of Toyohashi yet, but I'll show you those soon. How about my trip here, do you want to see those photos?

| My view as we neared Japan! |

| The first thing I bought! (I ran out of water about half way through my 12 hour flight...) |

| The first show we watched in the Hotel in Tokyo, he was trying to identify scents but they must not have smelled very good.... |

| Jackie and I were at the same hotel! |
 |
| My roommates and I all had little animals, so I asked them all to pose with UniCornish! |

| Japan is CRAZY BEAUTIFUL! |

Anyways, I've only been here for a week or so, and there will be a lot more photos coming later. Talk to you soon!
