Leaving T.T

I wrote this as I was on the train to Tokyo...

In the morning my host dad saw me off first since he had to go to work. I started sobbing.

Then after I left the house my okaasan, my siblings, and I went to a shrine near my house. On the way to the station we went to a bakery. It was the same place that I first came when I arrived.

After that we went to Kasugai station and Yuka came to say goodbye. She gave me chocolates with a cute little note on it. We both cried a lot!

My okaasan and siblings rode the train with me to Nagoya. We went up a tall building to look at the city. My okaasan bought me a handkerchief.

Then we had to go to the built train that would take me to the airport. When it was time for me to get on the train all of my family hugged me. My okaasan started crying and so did I.  I was so sad to leave.

The entire day we were talking. My siblings asked me if I was coming back next summer. My okaasan told me many times that my room will be empty and I am always welcome back. So we got to thinking and we decided it would be a good idea for me to go back next summer. I will have to work hard to save, but I think I can do it!
I have to go back!!
Bye...

Last Night

So its my last night in Japan. I feel like I have been here forever, but at the same time I feel like I just arrived yesterday. I cant believe my trip is over. I am not ready to go. 

Today I went to an onsen!!  I was a little scared since it was a public bath, but it was fun! There were so many different tubs!! An older lady tried to talk to me in Japanese. 

I ate a parfait afterwards. It was chocolate!! Then we went grocery shopping.  

We also went to a local temple! It was pretty.

Then we ate yakiniku, ice cream and cake for dinner. 

I HAVE TO COME BACK NEXT YEAR!

Nagoya Castle

Today we went to Nagoya Castle! It was huge!! Each floor was a museum! It was interesting!! There was a part about Nobunaga ( a person in history I learned about ). The castle was 5 floors!

We also went to Eon in Nagoya. We ate udon. I bought a bento there! I wish I had more time to shop in Japan. I wish I had more time in Japan :P I heard Japanese strangers talking about me. My host mom and I laughed about it! I was waiting for okaasan at the subway while she fixed our tickets and a strange lady came up to me and my little sister Kaho. Okaasan came over while the lady was talking in Japanese. We quickly walked away, but okaasan gave me a quick summary of what she said. She either thought I was half Japanese or my 4 year old sister my was my daughter. Either was is weird. 

We rode the bus too and it had a special rode above the normal rode so it can be on time! 
Im not ready to leave!
Bye!

Lily Garden

We went to a huge lily garden today. It was beautiful!! They said it had around 60,000 lilies! We rode a lift and got ti see beautiful lilies below us. 

There was also a huge slip and slide that we played on together! A little boy accidently ran into me and said sorry in Japanese. Then he looked up as I responded in Japanese and was surprised because I am a foreigner XD. Then he started talking to me and playing with me. 

There was a small station to catch fish with your hands, then they cook them for you. There was a net if you couldn't XD It was yummy!! It was a fun day!


On a side note there was a sign in the mountains to watch out for monkeys while driving, just like deer back home! XD
