okay! so hows life???!?!!!?

Well life as I know it is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and I couldnt have asked for more! I mean everything is completely different over here and I mean I dont know what cuture shocked is supposed to feel like but I Have zero! I mean I love it here and I dont regeret it at all, I mean sure I miss family and friends but this is sooo natural and its like a break! Its all I wanted and more....
Okay so on to buisiness I have now got all important stuff out of the way basically that I can do. The insurance thing is not completely taken care of yet but we are all working on it but I mean I have my school shoes I registered for my alien card and I opened a bank account and then established a mailing address! So yesh a lot of stress off of my hands and all thanks to yuki for having it all organized and ready to go for me! i couldnt have done it without her! So trust me people if you are supposed to get something important done while you get here in japan get right on it because you could seriously hurt yourself later on!

Now on to questions if you have any mail me!

I would have to say yes and no! the boys are soooo fashionable its sickening I mean everyone here is wearing something fashionable like even nerds wear name brands! and sometimes boys here wear makeup! its pretty interesting! girls are soo cute and so is everything else I mean even criminal posters have cute penguins on them!

*Is it expensive?

Depends on where you are and if your amber!lol I mean transportation in tokyo was super expensive like its cheaper to take plane! but clothes and shoes are　soooooo cheap!!! they have like 10$ shoes stores and like I went to a store the other day and got a suede jacket with fur foer 3$ and no that isnt a typo! I mean all winter stuff uis sooo cheap right now because its about to be spring but I m from texas and its still freezing!!!

*Whats the fashion like?
everyone is in to the bag and messy look or the extreme hippie!lol but in japan lots of pink and being cute will be in style 4 ever!

*Is it hard learning the language?
well I have 2 host sisters on the same language level as me sort of and so they help me! but its really hard bnecause one word means soo many things!!

* Whats their reaction to me being mixed!lol

no mixedness here I am just straight black to them and people like stared at me in the public baths and they do stop and stare sometimes but other than that they are really nice and I love to watch people reactions!

Finally an update!(edited)

well so as of now I am finally in my host home! It was basically impossible to write because I had no idea how o read the hiragana on the keyboard or the kanjis but now I got it!

ha okay so lets start at the beggining I left dallas airport crying my eyes out and then I left on a plane crying my eyes out! when I finally reached L.A. I was sooo suprised at how well I I was able to get around and not get lost because it was hugggeee! but yeah from that point on everything was suppperr expensive! a sandwhich and a shake with fries=$16 but yeah so when I was there I converted my money into yen which like was 100=90 so it wasnt that bad compared to what it has been!

alright so skipping ahead 11 hours after meeting a french canadian patrice aka pimp master flex and 2 other americans who did nothing to help the way people see us, another canadian girl we were about to land in narita like 1 minuet away when the captain said I am sorry there has been a crash so now we have to divert to osaka airport 1 hour away so we were all mad and tired and sad because we were ,like sardines in the plane and couldnt sleep!

So we got there only to find out hey the airport isnt going to pay more than $100 to get us back to where we need to go ! but yeah in order to get that we had to wait in line for about 4 hours but we didnt have time so we payed with our own money!

so train to shinkansen(super fast train)= $27

actuall shinkansen ($130!!!!!!)

feeling of why am I here=priceless

but yeah we finally made it to tokyo at 1 am and tried to get a cab to olympic center... well because we were gaijin they drove off!lol but finally we did got there and slept!

from that week on met a lot of ppl from around the worl because olympic center if for people comming from around the world to train! we met australians .... okay and here is the edited part! what nice people they were...

but yeah we got 3 nutritious/delicious meals a day and never went hungry I thought I would but I eat really well here! I alreafy have lost 5 pounds! wow I am going to be skinny! nooo! anyways so we took a tour of tokyo it was so awweing and I mean its huge here you guys have no idea and we saw shrines and everything I mean the japanese people have it right! also cool things about japan

1. toilets! awww so nice seat warmers and a warm spray that cleans you and music thingy! its soo nice

2 everything is automatic I mean everything! doors, toilets ,water things ,lights, food everything!

3. public baths my new love! basicalle a room with a huge pool thats super hot and you sit on a bucket in a room full of naked girls and you ash your self and then you go into the giant pool with everyone and talk about the day! Imean the first time I ran away and came back 2 hours later but now I love it!

okay to continue so At the end of the week we opacked up said goodbyes and headed to our respective transportation mine was shinkansen!so me and sofia a girl from italy who lives right next to me, we rode the train for 4 hours and were hyperventalating the whole way! when we finally arrived evefryone was there for me my area rep and school girls and my mom and sisters and dad and teachers it was sooo nice they all brought me gifts and it was nice I almost cried but yeah. so then I left with my parents and itfelt like family and we headed towards nobutos work hes a medic who works at the firestation and i met his collegeagus (yeah my spellings getting bad!) they didnt know I know some japanese and so they kept telling himOMG shes black!ほんとにすごいですね it was funny but then we went to eat sushi for my first time and let me tell you japan sushi and america sushi two different things because it was the best food I have ever tasted! but yeah so then we headed home and I saw my room wich is super kawaii! I am already moved in and I lobve it I feel like famil already and I love my room and my heater because it is cold and I cant convert celcious into farenhieght! ahh but yeah its a long post and if you made it this far you probably know and love me so hi and bye I love you!also I know my host family has to be the best !
