I did the slipper thing ha ha ha ha ha. <br /><br />My friend who studied at Nanzan made it sound like the good host families are super-tight knit.. I really wonder if you'll run into his old host mom! I'll get their family name and see, ha ha. I'm so happy you got an awesome family! I also had an English teacher for my host mom and even though everyone seems to make it sound like a bad thing, it works out even better I feel like, as long as you push yourself to use Japanese.. Which it sounds like you are!<br /><br />Ohmyyygosh!! I'm so excited to hear about EVERYTHING! :) がんばって~はははAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-674868567026130337.post-34451759141750767782010-09-08T03:21:40.803-07:002010-09-08T03:21:40.803-07:00towered over everyone? how tall are you, girly? yo...towered over everyone? how tall are you, girly? you seem so teeny~<br /><br />glad to hear your host family knows that they're doing. now you can just enjoy yourself and stop stressing about everything :P <br /><br />btw, don't worry about your two big bags. i had two bags that were exactly 50lbs each -_- idk what i'm going to do when i have to come home. <br /><br />keep updating! it's so fun to read this :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-674868567026130337.post-44066599027270942312010-09-07T19:19:08.227-07:002010-09-07T19:19:08.227-07:00Hi Sydney,
Sounds like you're having an amazin...Hi Sydney,<br />Sounds like you're having an amazing time in Japan so far. It's great that you get to live with a host family. You'll really become immersed in the culture. <br /><br />I want to invite you to guest write for PinkPangea.com, the first online community for women travelers. <br /><br />Pink Pangea's goal is to make travel easier, safer, and more fulfilling for women of all ages. We are looking for adventurous and eloquent students who are studying abroad to document their experience, while discussing issues that are relevant to women travelers. It would be great if you could post about your experience in Japan, providing anecdotes and photos from your time abroad. <br /> <br />I look forward to reading more about your experiences abroad!<br /> <br />Hope to hear from you soon,<br />Rachel<br />rachel@pinkpangea.com<br />http://www.PinkPangea.comRachel18https://www.blogger.com/profile/10523393321846673571noreply@blogger.com
