So, last week I moved to my second host family, and I just wanted to do short ( and albeit late) thank-you post for their kindness.
The way that my first host family worked was my host mum and dad were the grandparents, and the son, daughter-in-law, and their two daughters (17 and 19 years old) live in the house next door. We had family dinners on the weekends, but most days I ate with just my host mum and dad. Since my Japanese language skills have much to be desired, and my host mum and dad don't speak much English, we weren't able to communicate much, but in the last few weeks I was able to have some shorter conversations with them, which was really nice!! My first host family was so kind in showing me traditional Japanese foods, as well as pointing out cultural differences, and showing me different shrines. I think that my favourite memory with my first host family was teaching them how to play Hears, one of my favourite card games! I was so glad that they liked it!! Anyways, thank you so much guys, you all are great <3

My host family's vacation house
So, that's all I've got for today, though I'm sure another blog post is coming soon- I've got way too much time on my hands! See you next time!
(no birds were harmed in the making of this blog post) This Sunday was super fun! I spent the majority of it with my host family, going school shopping, then going to lunch at an udon restaurant for lunch. We also visited my first Shinto shrine, which was a very cool experience! Shopping
