Right now Im in Zushi, about an 2 hours from Tokyo, we had to come early cause a blizzrd couldve come and stopped us from leaving Japan. So at Asahikawa airport alot of people throughout the year that ive met came to say bye, so there was lots of crying and stuff, also Igarashi-sensei came with Donnie after school, so I had to say by to Donnie, and we said how wed never see each other again, and how shed never forgive me for leaving her at our school alone. Oh well... I also did say bye to my family and igarashi sensei, but I guess I wasnt as emotional as the others. On the plane nothin much happened except for christie throwing up, and at the airport I met Kiyoshi again.So I satid with him for a bit before meeting my temp host mom.Also Jared from Sapporo is also with this family with me.
Yesterday we went to Disney Sea planning on meeting Jessie, but after about 30 minutes we couldnt find her so went in alone. Eventually after eating expensive but limited bufet food we went out and found her! So that was lucky. Disney Sea was fun, like a more mature version of disneyland, and even,heaven forbid, a ride with a loop. Jessie had to leave early with her host mom, so I said bye to her :( But she wants to go to college in Canada or Japan, so maybe I can see her again.
Today Jared, me, and our temp host parents met their friends who are hosting a girl from India, Minnie. So we ate expensive chinese food and then went to this park that contains the imperial famlys sumer home. Though we got there 30 minutes after the family went for a walk throught the park, so there goes my chanceof ever meeting a royal family, oh well...Also a guard told me off for touching a fence protecting the house. Then Jared, Minne, and me planned on going to an aquarium, but had to find a post office to withdraw money, so that took an hour exploring Zushi, and by then decided against it. So we met up with our host family and went to a Suhsi bar. And I guess thats it.
This year has been without a doubt the worst of my life, but I think ive learned alot too. I dont really know EXACTLY what Ive learned, but I think it was good stuff. Though if I could do it all over again Im not sure if I would, but I DID do it, so I gotta make the best of it. I made some good friends (albeit not at school) and wont ever forget them. So see ya later Japan, Ill be Back!!
