Ok. So i finally have access to a computer. I dont have much time, but, Im in japan, and alive. I met my host family and they are all really nice people. I have a host mom, dad, brother, sister, and grandpa. All of them are really nice. It is taking a while to get used to how everyone speaks, cause they dont all speak the same way. Ojii-chan (the grandpa) is the hardest to understand.

School is lots of fun so far. Its funny, cause you can easily spot the group of Gaijin (Foreigners) everywhere we go. At lunch the other day, this japanese guy came up to me and gave me a flyer for an international party and said hes studying spanish. Apperntly Im hispanic. Ill have more detailed updates later, but leave me comments!

XD wow, that's funny. I'm glad you're having a good time, though! I would imagine that it's very hard getting used to, so I hope everyone speaks nice and slow to you and that you get to eat normal American food once in a while. >_> I don't like a whole lot of fish, so I know I'd have a hard time. You'll have to post more later, with more detail!

I just got home from Target not too long ago. Took two of Mike's days, so I'm working the sales floor today and then Friday and I'm done. Sooo tired. Oyasumi nasai!

I can't WAIT for crazy ojii-chan stories, cause I know they'll be coming! :D I get the hispanic thing a lot too, which is ridiculous cause I'm probably the whitest person I know. I think it's the drawn-on eyebrows. go fig.

also, just now when I created a google account in order to leave this comment, the verification word was "broins", which I thought was super classy. BROINS! XD

Hey Michael! I was thinking....How does it feel to be a big brother to your host siblings? Must be weird. :P
Anyways, I'm glad you met people to hang out with. I think you should go to that international party and pretend to be hispanic. You just throw everyone off cause you're brown. Hee hee. Love you. Write me back when you get time.

LOL, I always knew you were hispanic like me! At least he didn't come to you speaking Spanish! You would have been like, what the heck are you saying?
