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'

Random happenings... :D

So..none of this is gonna be in chronological order coz I often forget things and add them later so please bare with me! ;D

So I took the plane on the 19th at 13:00 at zurich airport and didn't sleep AT ALL!! We got to Narita airport at about 7 in the morning Japan time on the 20th.

We had 4 days of orientation with YFU returnees in Tokyo. There were 62 other exchange students. :D

Then on the 24th I took the shinkansen with 10 others and got off at Nagoya station where my host family met me! It was so sweet they had made a sign with my name and it was really cute! :D
We ate at a chinese restaurant and I ate SO MUCH!! 'O' It was really good though haha! ^-^
Then.. we drove home, I unpacked everything... and then sent an email to my parents. :)

And since then I've watched a lot of TV in japanese so I haven't understood much...especially the comedy shows!! O.o And there was one show with Osaka-ben; a dialect that's impossible to understand!!
I've done my bank account, alien card application, been to the hyakuen shop, Yuukuns judo practice and also his calligraphy class!! We wrote sakura with chinese ink! ^-^
And then because I've got a cough and a fever, yesterday I stayed in bed and today I went and got my KEITAI! :D (cell phone) It's purple!!! ^-^ I was gonna get a prepaid one from Softbank but just before paying I found out that 1 card only lasts 2 months and then you have to buy a new one... ^^' I really didn't want to have to go back and buy 5!! So we went to NTTdocomo and I got a contract phone..... which is cool coz it means that texts to docomo, softbank, au etc.. are free!!! :D :D hehe

Problem is..I bought this cell phone today..and it's already been chewed by LoveChan! ^^' Cheeky little devil xD

I've sent loads of texts to Hanako, my friend from Kenya, already!! it was so nice to talk to her again!! And we're meeting up at Nagoya on the 1st of April yaaaayy ^-^

What else.... oh yeh today I played on the wii with Yuukun and okaasan and we also played cards! :D And watched naruto shippuden :DDD

At the orientation I ate A LOT of traditional japanese food and since I've been in the host family quite a lot less but still some.. :D Which is kinda normal if you think about it haha! ^-^

Anyway it's late so I'm gonna finish here and  go to sleep!! :) oyasumiiiii <3

I'll put pics up when I work out how to!!! >.<

Birthday

Today is the birthday of a person who's very special to me and sadly I can't be by her side to wish her happy birthday coz she's maaaaaaany miles away!!!!
So I'll just say it here: HAPPY BIRTHDAY AYACHAN! <3 Hope you've had a great day so far and will continue to have one! ^-^
