A video of all the pictures I have taken in my first week in Japan.

My host family

I have been with my host family a few days now. As most of you know I dont speak any Japanese but thankfull my host family know a little english, not a lot but I can at lest talk to them a little. I have my own room and sleep on a futon, they are not as bad as you may think they are. My family has 2 houses right next to eachother, I dont know if thats normal but it works. I live with 9 other people, ya it sounds like alot and ya it is. I live in a really small farming town in the mountens. So far its been a lot of fun with them. I have to ride 20mins on a bike to get to school. I havnt been to school yet but I will in about a week. My family is a lot of fun and they take me to a lot of art shows, I like art. Its been a lot of fun and I cant wait to see what this year will bring me.

I am in Japan!!!

Wow, I really need to write on this blog more. I have been in Japan for a little over a week now. Its been cold and rainy but there has been a few days with sun. The first night I was in Tokyo with 180 other AFS kids from around the world. There were only about 30 of us from the USA but we still had the biggest group. The next day they split us into three groups based on were we were going. Me and about 40-50 other kids whent to Nagoya for 3 days. We stayed in a place that was like a hotel/school/whatever. We had to make our own futons and I had to sleep in a room with 14 girls and we had to bath together. At the end of the 3 days AFS had a talent show we could do. There was 4 of us from the USA there so we sang the 50 nifty song and danced to it. We all got to know eachother and we all made a lot of new friends. So when it was time to leave to meet our host familys it was really sad because most of us will not see eachother till the end of the year. But we can still talk to eachother thanks to a wonderfull thing called facebook.
