Stomach ache!!

Today I didn't feel good at all. I had trouble sleeping because my stomach hurt. My host parents tried to feed me to death. I woke up with the same stomach ache. I could not eat breakfast because my stomach hurt so much. So I stayed home and was planning to take a nap but decided to watch anime instead. Akari was really nice and got me a present from Disneyland. It was really cool. So I stayed home and relaxed for the day.

Day Out With The Girls!

Today we were doing prayer like we do every morning but this time it was in English by my English teacher through intercom. The whole school listens at the same time. He has done it before, I was just relieved that now I can understand. He said, "Summer is getting closer and I want you all to be productive. I have some ideas for you... invent a new pizza....make a root beer float....lay down and watch the clouds...make a Harlem shake video...and if you don't know what that is go ask the American students." I almost died of laughter! XD No one knew what a root beer float was or the Harlem shake. It was so unexpected. Then after that I met a Harvard student and that came to the school to talk for a couple of days. She is really cool. Then we were all told that we need to go to the Peace Park again with Kaitlyn (The student from Harvard.) We almost got lost but it was ok. At the street car station I was on the other sided of the tracks when a street car pulled up and a group of ladies kept looking at me and when they pulled away they all waved at me. Then at the Park the little kids kept saying hello. It was cute. When we got back it was time for Hondori. Jin, Alison and I all went to Alison's house to get ready. Alison tried to put eyeliner on Jin but it didn't really work out. I thought I knew where to go to get to Hondori but I didn't. I really wanted to go to the mall I went to last time. Jin then went up to these two girls who were talking to ask them for directions. One kind of screamed and looked like she was going to run away until she realized she was asking for directions. We eventually found Hondori and then searched for somewhere to eat for about 30 minutes. We finally decided on an Italian restaurant which was rally good. Then I took them to the mall I wanted to go to to show them all of the cute stuff . There was so much Lolita but it was so expensive, so we went to the anime store where I bought One Piece stuff and a Kingdom Hearts action figure. All they have here is One Piece!! But it's ok because I like one piece. When we all were done shopping, we went back to Alison's where I was super excited to assemble my action figures and one piece ship. Then I went home and watched one piece. Today I probably walked somewhere between 5-10 miles. My feet hurt so much but it was so worth it.

Lunch At The Cafe!

Today, Alison and I had to write another essay and we decided not to go to the library again so we went to a small classroom. We drew pictures on the chalkboard the whole time which was fun. After school was over I decided to go to Alison's house. We changed out of our clothes and left to go find somewhere to eat lunch. We walked all the way to Hiroshima station but nothing there looked good so we started walking back. On the way back we saw some classmates but they didn't recognize us because we weren't wearing uniforms. We kept walking and had to choose between a variety of cafes. As we were searching, Alison had seen a guy who wasn't from Japan with 2 Japanese guys. She thought he was cute lol. Anyways we ended up going to a cafe called The Little Mermaid. The food was great. They had a lot of different breads and pastries.  After we sat down, the 3 guys that Alison saw earlier coincidentally  came in and sat at the table next to us. After about 5 minutes, very suddenly Alison asked the guy where he was from. I made this face mixed between being surprised and a glare.  He was from Canada and is a college student as well as the Japanese boys. He is studying here for engineering. There is no way that I would just start asking someone questions like that....I'm not that brave lol. Anyways she talked to him the whole time while I was in my own world eating my delicious pastries. After we finished we were about to head back to Alison's house. The guys left first and then we left walking the same direction. They looked confused and then turned around and asked if they were close to Shukkein. They were going the wrong way so we told them how to get there and then went to the house. We watched a Naruto movie until I had to leave. It was really funny, but Alison didn't get to finish it because I had to leave so I told where to find it and then I went home.

Fun Fun Day!!

Today was fun. Mama told me that we were going to Hiroshima Castle. Papa dropped us off at Hiroshima Station and a downpour came from no where. Akari went to Tokyo for something with YFU. Mama and I took a street train to a station close to the castle. When we got inside the castle gates a concert was going to happen so we were going to watch. All of a sudden it got really hot and the rain stopped and it was really sunny. The concert was fun, everyone looked cool in their costumes but they must have been hot. When the concert was over we walked over to Hiroshima castle. It was turned into a museum but it isn't the original. The original was destroyed by the bomb so they rebuilt it. It was really cool, I dressed up as a samurai and got to pick up a sword (chained sword in a glass box). I want a sword now lol. Then we went to the top of the tower and overlooked the city. It was really pretty. After Hiroshima castle we went to find somewhere to eat. We wet to the underground mall in Hondori. We found a pasta restaurant and I haven't had pasta in a long time. It was so good. I also had cream soda which is like a root beer float but instead of root beer it was melon flavored soda. After we finished eating, the belt on my dress popped open. Mama couldn't stop laughing. I couldn't help myself, the food was good. So after that , we went shopping. Hondori is the best place ever! We went to sunmall which has GU and Uniqlo which are 2 very famous stores. Their prices where soo cheap! I didn't buy anything from those stores though. Then we went up a floor and I found the cute/lolita section <3. Lolita is too expensive so I went to the cute clothes. I bought these really cute pajamas and 3 pairs of over the knee socks. I need to go back there! Then on another floor I found the anime! I went inside the anime store and got ab about $30 worth of stuff and went to checkout and it said $17. I did a double take because it was definitely $30 but I was really happy, I just thought something got marked down. I also went to a little Japanese souvenir shop where I got some stuff. At this point I had tons of coins and couldn't fit them all in my coin purse, the cashier lady saw me struggling and let me exchange it all which was over $10.  That was nice of her. Before we went home we had to get ice cream! Ice cream is necessary everyday in my family...im not complaining lol. Then we went home and I showed my host sister all the stuff I got and she saw the receipt for the anime store and the $10 surprise bag I bought which is worth $30 wasn't even on the receipt. The cashier didn't scan it! Then we went to a little international store and I made Tacos for my host family that night. This was the best day ever.
