Today we traveled by train to a daruma shop where we painted our own daruma. It was quite difficult but was very fun. We then made osenbei rice crackers. We got an hour of free time to visit shops. We went to a book store, grocery store, and a 100¥ (1$) store.
Yesterday we went to my host brothers elementary school and talked to them about America. We taught them the chicken dance and duck duck goose which they really seemed to like. I am not sure if they knew that we could not understand half of what they said, but it was still fun! For dinner last night my host mom made salmon that was absolutely amazing!
