Centrair
Today we went to centrair! (The airport!) It's funny coz this airport.. it seemed like most people just go the airport for their holiday! They don't actually catch a plane :P
So we went to the roof and watched planes take off! And then we looked around shops and there was a bouncy castle and a little train thing ^___^
We ate ramen for lunch :DD It was so good!!! *-* So hot though >.<
I managed not to buy ANYTHING!!
Which is a miracle!! Coz in one shop there was a whole shelf of totoro goods..... *______________*
They were expensive though .__.
It's kinda annoying how japanese all love things like elmo and mickey mouse and stuff so totoros are still expensive and kinda rare ._.
We did purikura!!!! It was fun ^.^
Then.. oh yeh! In the car on the way there I watched some of the film (non animated) kimi ni todoke!!! :D
I had gotten it from the rental shop last week ^.^ It was cool coz I've already read the manga and watched some of the series so I could understand!! Well.... I sort of knew some of the words off by heart so it wasn't hard :P
And so anyway, we went home and I TIDIED MY ROOM!!!!! It was reaaaally messy ._.
But it's fine now ^__^ (I think!)
And read some shoujo manga in japanese :DD It's cool I'm getting faster at reading ^-^ Probably coz I'm no longer bothering to look up words in the dictionary so I understand less but oh well :P
Then... we went to a buffet with obaachan, ojiichan, Ayako san (aunt), yukihara san? (uncle who's name I never remember ._.) kocchan and yamato kun!! :D I ate so much!! 'O' It was really delicious though! Apart from the omelet with shell in it and the weird jelly things that almost made me throw up but ate all of them anyway.. xDD
There was a chocolate fondue and ice cream and puriiin :D (pudding! which means.. creme caramel)
So yeh it was delicious! ^____^
I really am putting on weight ^^' It probably doesn't help that I'm not doing much sport ._. (My school only has 2 gym lessons a week! And I haven't been to the gym with okaasan at all recently... and for some reason I keep forgetting to do my daily sit ups O:D)
Anywayyyyyy this isn't interesting at all!! xD
After that we went to obaachans house (traditional house!!!!!!!!!) and we chatted and drank coffee and watched the kids have judo fights xP
So yeh it's been fun ^_______^
Tomorrow we have UNDOKAI!!! Sports competition for any poorly educated people ;)
I'm playing volleyball! (NOT a good idea!! xDDD) and most of the time my serves swerve off to the left ._. or they don't go anywhere near the net at all! ^^' Dear dear dear let's just hope I don't do too badly tomorrow? xD
I haven't actually met with any of my classmates apart from one time after school with Nodoka.. and I've met up with KeiChan but she's not my classmate so it doesn't count ^^'
It would be nice if we could do something... I can't this holiday though coz everyday I'm busy!!! 'O'
I'll stop babbling now... I think it's too late to go to the ofuro >.< Mleeehhh I don't like it when there's no hot water left ._.
And I stil haven't written in Kaya...... Does this mean another late night? >< And tomorrow alarm at 5.50 again ._.
STOP COMPLAINING!!! XDDDD hahahahah :P
It'S funny I'm just writing down my thoughts... which obviously means I'm thinking in English atm... shame! I like it when I think in japanese!! It helps to stop thinking if you don'T have any vocabulary in the said language mouahahaha :DD
Bref. (french now?!)

Post Office...
Hello everyone~ ^-^
The title seems kinda random I know!!
But it's because for about a week now I've been meaning to go to the post office to send some letters!!
And now I've accumulated so much stuff to send that it's unbearable!! (Wow I almost forgot how to spell that word O.o
I definitely need to read hard books to keep my English at a sufficiant level!! >.<) Anyway! Oh yeh I also ordered a webcam from Amazon and I have to use the post office ATM within 6 days so like 4 days now.... :S Taihen!!! 'O'
And the reason I haven't been able to go is that the one in my town closes at 5.30!!
And because I have anime club every day after school and then I have to take trains and stuff to get home I get back between 6.30 and 7! x)
And today I left early but got in at the train station at 5.35 so that won't do .___.
Seeing as I couldn't go to the post office I decided to find the quickest way to get there by bike for the next time and I bought some sweets and a monthly shoujo manga magazine (340 yen!! ^-^)
And then went on a little bike ride for 15 mins or so, exploring the area :D
It was fun!! Kinda nice being REALLY alone for once! And then I got home and there were sweets on the table for me to eat ^____^ Little madeleine bears and stuff :D So cute!! >w<
Oh and on the subject of bears this morning when I made my obentou I cut out little bear shaped carrot, ham and cheese and decorated my lunch with them!! :D
It's funny how a nicely presented lunch can make me so happy!! And the feeling after finishing cooking everything and arranging it on time is awesome~
Oh and this morning.... Yuukun made pancakes!! And mine was bear shaped!! Or was it a mickey mouse? Hahaha :D No idea how he did it O.o And he put fruit in some of them yummm *-* He's so sweet!! A bit of a geek though xDD I bet when he's 15 he'll be a huge geek...:P Wonder if he'll still be obsessed with pokemon?
I'm really babbling on about nothing... What's gotten into me? xD I don't remember ever talking so much....well.. writing ^-^ I didn't write in my diary today yet... I've been writing every day for about 2 weeks now! Don't know how I find things to say.. xDD I just Racontemavie.... ^___^
Oh yeh that reminds me! Today is Tuesday.... I arrived in Japan on Tuesday 4 weeks ago!!!!!!!! :) Not a month yet but still ^-^ So in case you're wondering; So far I love Japan! I've had the most amazing 4 weeks!! Everyone is really nice to me and they make an effort to talk to me and stuff!
I've had a few brief moments of heavy homesickness and my remedy seems to be drinking black tea with lots of sugar and milk!! (LOL? :D) And eating chocolate....
Chocolate! *-* Meiji chocolate is amazing~~ <3 <3 I have to be careful not to eat too much though x) Everyone says when you go on an exchange you gain weight.. I wonder if it's true in Japan too? Even with all the healthy food.. probably! Seeing as it's just because of your body having to accustom to a different diet or something like that! And I've been eating loads of sweets so.. xP Yabai xD
I've only done any real sport ONCE since I've been in Japan!! (4 weeks!!O.O) When I went to the gym with my host mum....
We still haven't done any sport in gym lessons! We just listen to the teacher rambling on about school rules or something...
I've been reading Lord of the Flies since this morning and it's actually quite good! I didn't expect to like it much from the cover but I guess you should never judge a book by it's cover huh! ^-^
So yeh I'm about halfway through and I like it :D I've been reading a bit during class (I also do Japanese work...and half follow the classes)
During the modern history something or other lesson we were just listening to the teacher talking and I didn't understand a thing so I just read my book hehe ^__^
It's cool coz every day I'm allowed to spend one of the lessons in the library (NOT bibliotheque!! This is english! lol confusing languages....xD) so I might just read books...:)
They sure have a lot of books in the library!! It's much smaller than the one in my old school in Switzerland but they fit a lot more books in haha :D
Haan I'm tired now .___.
You carry me hooooooooooooooome~~
Oh oh oh yesterday I got a postcard!! From Aya :D <3 Made me so happy!!! ^-^
And.... I forgot what I was gonna write! .o.
Don't I have an amazing memory! ;) Which is especially useful for remembering the names of the 38 other girls in my class... and also the senpai and the neighbouring classes and all the random people who I seem to know for no reason whatsoever xP
Anywayzzz I'll stop there ^__^ Ja ne!! (^o^)/

Hello everyone!!!! :D
It's Saturday evening and I have lots of stuff to say!! ^___^
So yesterday at school after listening to the gym teacher's speech I went and did Washikougei with KeiChan (chinese exchange student in 3rd year) and Mori Sensei :) Washikougei is the art of...sticking japanese paper together and onto stuff? xD It's fun!! And really pretty!! I started making this little folder thing for keeping Tea ceremony paper in ^-^ And then after that I learnt how to put a kimono on!! I can't remember everything but it was fun :DD And then we did a tea ceremony! I learnt how to do the whole sequence!!! Can't remember anything >.< I had to sit in Seiza for a whole hour.... my legs were dead afterwards!!!
ま。。たのしかった！ I also got to eat manju and drink tea so that was cool hehe ^___^
And then I went and had lunch with my class and bought HOT COCOA!!! From a vending machine! :D Oh wait that was Thursday lol xD Ah well :P
For lunch I ate Onigiri which I made before school, tamago (egg) roll which I also made, some salad thing with cucumber and seaweed that I made on Thursday... And random veggies and STRAWBERRIES *-* Haha it was really tasty!! I love Japanese obentou!! :DDD So anyway after lunch we had cleaning! Everyone has to wear a long white apron thingy xDD It's funny :P And so yesterday a girl in my class found the body shell thingy of a cricket!! And in the end we didn't do any work (we were supposed to be gardening..)
Then after that we went to the library, got library cards and stuff and then looked around at the books and stuff :D There's an English section with loads of old books and surprisingly I found quite a few books I wanted to read!!!! ^-^ So I got out a manga called Aventura (which I already finished and read the rest of it on the computer...) which is AWESOME!!! :D I love it!! And also Lord of the flies...
And then last period of school I went into a room with Kei Chan and Yamada sensei, a teacher who recently got married! Mori sensei showed me photos of her marriage!! ^-^ And I did a japanese test so that she can know what level I'm at... :)
And......ummmm...... oh yeh after school I went to the cooking club with Nodoka Chan and we decorated cookies and had to bake these..nut things? It was fun :D But I don't think I want to join that club... probably the Anime club :)))
Oh and KeiChan gave me a ticket to go somewhere with her so today I get everything ready, I even bring an umbrella, very organised, and then I get on the train, and 15 mins later I remember that I hadn't put the ticket in my bag!!!!! So I get off, take the train in the other direction, speed along on my bike back home, get the ticket and speed back to the station, get the next train to Chiryu and then get a train to Higashi Okazaki and then just miss the train to Otogawa so go to the bus stop but it's 20 mins till the next bus to school so I go to the station shop and buy a manga magazine!!! something or other JUMP (not shounen weekly jump) for 480 yen~ Hehe ^__^
And then take the bus to Hikari Gaoka (school) meet KeiChan and walk to the concert place where there's a 'Mandorin Ensemble'. It was so cool!!! *-* Oh and I hadn't had lunch so we stopped by a konbini and I got some CHOCO PAN >w<
Then.... we went to the Recycle Shop!! And it has LOAAAADS of cheap stuff!! *.* I found lots of stationary and stuff for school and then got a hoodie and some CD's too :) All that was 2'000 yen! :) Yatta :DD
Then managed (no idea how!!) to find my way home by asking lots of people for directions seeing as I can't read much japanese so at train stations I'm STUCK! xD And and and... got home.. ate dinner.. i was so oishiiiii ^-^ And went to the ofuro.. chatted with Okaasan for a long time :D Played with a ball with her and Yuukun and also showed them my Gameboy and the Pokemon game I have. XD Then... came onto the computer and started writing this? :) And put pics onto the comp using the camera lead which got CHEWED by LoveChan the dog who lives in the family... ^^' I need to get a new one! Oh and for some reason my CD player/radio/speaker for iPod doesn't work at all!! I don't know if it's coz of the power limit in japanese sockets or what? :S And there's a space for batteries in it... but I remember it working in Switzerland without any batteries... I DON'T GET IT!!! >.< So atm the CD's I bought today are useless and I can only listen to my iPod with my headphones on.. x)
I've written so much...O.o I think I'll stop here? haha ^^'
Ja...mata ne~ (^o^)/

XD Then... came onto the computer and started writing this? :) And put pics onto the comp using the camera lead which got CHEWED by LoveChan the dog who lives in the family... ^^' I need to get a new one! Oh and for some reason my CD player/radio/speaker for iPod doesn't work at all!! I don't know if it's coz of the power limit in japanese sockets or what? :S And there's a space for batteries in it... but I remember it working in Switzerland without any batteries... I DON'T GET IT!!! >.< So atm the CD's I bought today are useless and I can only listen to my iPod with my headphones on.. x)
I've written so much...O.o I think I'll stop here? haha ^^'
Ja...mata ne~ (^o^)/

Hanami! :D
So! Yesterday, on the 7th of April, I went with my host family to Hanami!!! And for anyone who doesn't know hanami is a japanese festival for looking at sakura!! And for anyone who doesn't know sakura means cherry blossom.... (LOL)
So anyway there were loads of food stalls and stuff!! :D And it was reeeaaally pretty!! 'O'
After eating lunch we went to Okazaki Castle and there was a wedding!! They were all wearing kimonos! *-* And there was also a bunch of people dressed up and they were singing and dancing~~
It was fun! :)
And after that we went to karaoke!! My litle host bro sang loads of pokemon songs lol :D
And then we went to the Mcdo drive through and ate at home ^_^ It was good!
This morning I woke up at 10 and went on a wonderful walk with my family and the dog LoveChan ^-^ The weather was really nice~~ And I met lots of neighbours hehe they're all really friendly!!! We ended up going on a walk with 4 other people hehe xD And then mum and dad hid chocolate bunnies and eggs round the house and me and Yudai looked for them :D
They were delicious :DDD And then we ate soba and raw fish at lunch and went to the shops, I bought school socks and a skirt :D
For dinner we had a cheese fondue that I'd brought with me from Switzerland!! The parents loved it but Yudai doesn't like cheese so he ate rice, like everyday haha xD
Here are some photos :)

First day of school
The following is a message to my friend with lots of details and seeing as I'm lazy I can't be bothered to rewrite it... xDD
In the morning I got on the train with my okaasan and we met a few girls with the same uniform and so we chatted to them and found out they were 2nd years who were going to Australia and New Zealand for a year and so that was the first and last day of seeing them!!!
So they showed me round the school and then I went to the teachers lounge for my speech and then went into a classroom with 20 other girls who were going to New Zealand :D And I 'chatted' to them.....
And then we went and sat in the gym for the opening ceremony and had a practice thing first....
I had to do a speech infront of all the teachers and then the whole school and parents and everything and then a third one for my class... :)
I wonder if I'll ever get used to people staring at me and saying 'kawaiii' ALL THE TIME!!!! xD (kawaii means cute btw)
And so we had the opening ceremony and there was a school choir and it sounded so beautiful!!!! It was all in japanese soo I didn't understand much... and at the end I did my speech xD
After that... we had homeroom! I met all of my classmates :D I don't remember any names apart from one girl I exchanged phone numbers with... xD
I didn't understand what my neighbour said when she introduced herself! >.< Taihen!!!!!!
And so yeh after homeroom we took a class photo outside with beautiful trees in the background! And people kept asking if they could take a picture with me!! Abou 5 times I got asked!! I didn't even know most of them xD And people kept talking to me and saying good luck and stuff.. :D It was nice ^-^

Today I bought a bike! It's blue :D
And we walked the dog LoveChan, me and Yuukun on our bikes and okaasan by foot :)
It was nice and warm and reaaally pretty!! ^-^
Tomorrow I'm getting up early to take the train that goes to my school with both of them, just to see what it's like (If it's busy and hard to stay standing..) And then on Thursday I meet the teachers and get my uniform and on friday we have the first day of school!!! 'O'
