6/9/2005 - Day 1 of exchange

Oh my god !!
You would never of believe the amount of people in one airport.
Nagasaki Kensai airport is HUGE !!!! You need to take a train to
go from 1 terminal to another. As soon as I got off the plane I was
so relived that the whole flying thing was almost over . Wow , Japanese
soil … so cool . Anyways , some crazy dude  in a blue suit pushed me
 in some train with is little white stick ( Did that sound bad or what ?)
 Luckily I found some English speaking workers who helped me out
( Anon … anata , eumm English ? Desu ?? Follow watashi kudasai!! )
 All went well , I met with Akari ( Sakai-san`s daughter) She is really
nice ,good thing she speaks English !!Her and me took the Nagasaki Ken-ei
bus to the other airport. We had lunch and I departed for my final destination.

These people are so nice , they where like 20 to greet me at the airport !!
Also my first chance to meet Satoko(Riko). Many future host families where
 also present. It gave a feeling that I was not completely alone in this strange
land. First family ; Matsubara !! Once we at home , I changed into more casual
 clothes and we headed out to the sushi bar. We nust of spent oh , I don’t
know 1h30 eating sushi and talking , these people are great. Back home I
 was asked If I wanted to take a shower …. 25 hours of flight , sounds
good to me ! There  was a bucket , a stool , and a small shower head….
Like they say in japanese “ Nan desu ka ? “ ß- What is this ?

This is going to be a great year !!

6/9/2005 - Day 2 of exchange

Today , Masaki(host brother) and is 2 friends Shikama and Youdai and
 me went out for a drive , ended up having lunch in some strange place
, the meal was sos good thought. Its called “ Somei “ It’s a kind of noodles
 that are cooked , then placed in cold water. So during summer , its
very refreshing. Not much else happened that day , I learned that Hiro
would be at the orientation. Just a few days before I meet the others.
