Yesterday we got to meet our Hostfamily in Yokohama. I walked home with my host
sister and mom. We stopped at the seven-eleven for ice cream and ate it at their
grandmother's house. Before dinner, my host sister and I went for a walk around
her neighborhood. We rented dvd's and bought some food at the mall. For dinner
we had hamburgers, tofu, rice and miso soup. My host brother showed me his kendo
stick and we watched a tv show. It was really tiring, but it was so fun!

Today we came to school with our host siblings. We met in a designated meeting
room and started our day. I gave a speech to the staff and Virginia so kindly
spoke and offered my gift to the school. We first sat in an English class where
we did the same exercises they did. We were reading about the influences
Japanese animation has on other countries. Then we went to a calligraphy class
and painted kanji on a fan. We also had an ikebana (flower arrangement) class,
which truthfully, not a lot of people really enjoyed. The ending result was
beautiful though! We ate lunch and enjoyed recess with our host siblings. We
have a few hours left, and we're looking forward to it!

Today we did the traditional Japanese tea ceremony at the Yokohama high school
today. It was very interesting and cool to watch as they [prepared and served
the tea. This has been the best birthday ever.
