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
