On and on.

Not too much going on here; still settling into living here in a lot of ways. I'm becoming accustomed to the daily routine and feelings. There are times where I really miss home, especially when I hear Christmas music being played at the shotengai or when I see all of the ornaments and decorations at the hyaku-en shops, but I'll live. It's only one

Natto is so bad, I think I took 3 bites at the most, and that was even with the mustard and soy sauce. I can't believe there are people out there who can eat it and enjoy it.

I admit, I do get choked up when I hear the Christmas songs in the shotengai. Back home, I didn't really care about the holidays. Consumerism at it's worst, I thought. Just like I didn't think I'd miss home or things back from the states to terribly. Boy, have I been wrong. At the least I underestimated how much I was going to miss things.

Lol, I so have the hamster cheeks. I'll have to post another picture I have during the dango stand that really shows my hamster cheeks. Got them from my dad.

I used to be creeped out by little fishies, but then I remember how I used to be creeped out by raw fish, seaweed, etc, and now I eat it like it's no problem. Sometimes I get surprised when other people are creeped out just because I've grown so accustomed to it! I eat little fishies and little shrimps whole. If it tastes good, I usually don't have a problem with what the food looks like.

I feel the same too. I know I've improved a lot, but I still can't measure my progress and I still feel like I talk like a 4 year old. Doesn't it feel so horrible? Blagh.

And we still need to hang out? When are your parents coming in? And when does your vacation start? We should do stuff together!
