Subject message: Screw quotes, I'm going Japanese.

Translation: When I take a bath, I like to sing.

Somewhat long update today so I'm putting it under a cut to spare people's friends' pages. It's about my Yokohama trip this past weekend. Truth is, this is my second time writing this because the computer froze...*evil eyes*

Well, it started off with

Why isn't your host mother talking to you? :S

It's a long story. Basically, from the beginning, she's wanted me to speak Japanese a lot. At first, I thought that was fine because it would help me learn Japanese. But after awhile, I learned her expectations are quite high and she wanted me to talk more than I wanted to.

So eventually she started not talking to me at all. She tells me that when I'm not talking, she thinks I'm sad. I can come into the room with a big smile on my face and yet, if I don't say anything to her, she doesn't talk to me unless I'm doing something wrong.

It's become this really distant relationship over the past 5 months.

The bath sounded nice. What are they like in Japan? See, I'm writing a fanfic for my friend's birthday.

Plus that amusement park sounded cool. Don't let the HM get you down. At least you had fun.

Well, Japanese baths aren't that different. Basically you usually sit on a stool and have a shower first. Then most people can pre-set their baths to fill up with hot (really hot) water. After the shower you just soak in the steamy hot bath.

Very nice for relaxing. =)
