Hello everyone. Long time no writing. Too much to do.

Hey everyone i am writing in english cause this keyboard doesnt have the three letters that messes everything up.

Where to begin, there has happened so much stuff...

Ill start with the flight. It was good, pretty boring and i didnt get that much sleeping done. There are several explanations for that, babies crying, sunny weather and movies playing. it was okay though. i am satisfied. Nothing that interesting happened.

The plane landed at 9, ten minutes delayed, no biggie though. It was nice to finally stretch my legs. Everything went smooth at the airport and i met some other guys from yfu. I forgot to tell the right "Returnee", volounteers that helped u s during the orientation camp, that i had arrived so we were all waiting for me for a while, that was pretty funny.

The yfu atudents i met were only germans, i hate german it just sounds so ugly...
there were 2 others that werent germans they were australians, i finally had someone to talk to.
their names were Beck and Skye. I had met them on facebook one week earlier.

There was a 2 hour bus drive to the "Olympic Center" where we were supposed stay for a week.

The camp started out not so good. like 30 germans who only spoke german and then us 3 english speaking people. There was a guidance where they told us about everything we needed to know to check in and to eat dinner. I arrived at the camp at 12 in the morning. it felt pretty weird though that i was so goddamn tired even though it was morning, and then we were supposed to be up until like 22 because everyone had different arrival time.

Finally some other nationalities arrived and we had pretty fun just sitting around talking or buying stuff at the cool vending machines. They had hot coffe in a can. Thats pretty awesome.

We ate some dinner, i dont remember what though. i just remember that we had rice with every meal so.. rice and something. Every meal we could choose between 5 different dishes to eat. it was very good food.

at 21,30 our last roomie, colin, finally arrived and we could go to sleep, just to wake up at like 6,30 the following morning.

My roommates were. Nils from sweden, Colin from america and Jon from holland. we had very much fun. I just wish the camp would have lasted longer... anyway up early in the morning for more guidance and stuff...

I dont remember the exact orde of the awesome events that happened. so ill just tell you everything like a "mix".

We had our first japanese bath, it was quite an experience, we had to shower first and then go down in a much too hot pool in the middle. but it was really great. it felt really refreshing.

The vending machines had a variety of cool stuff... it had Kit Kat in a jar, coke in a aluminum bottle, Fries, Coffe in a can, Tea in a can, tea in a bottle, hot dogs... almost anything that you can eat or drink. it was pretty cheap too.

The convenient store was pretty awesome too, it had much stuff, cool candy sorts, souvernirs, drinks, the famous face masks. Jon and Colin bought a pack each and then Jon walked around with a facemask and sunnglasses. it looked pretty cool.

We had this Adventure Game thing where we walked around to different places and played games. There was one where we were supposed to fold a paper into a sumo wrestler and then have a wrestling match, there was one where we got to look at a picture and then we were supposed to explain what it was in japanese. i got a picture of a hurricane.

Then there was a room where we were supposed to make a word out of alot of characters. The next one was pretty fun, we had to pick stuff up with chopsticks within one minute There was small beans 5 points, gummibears 2 points, wrinkled paper 1 point, i only tried to get beans, i got 90 points.

There was also in the same room a game where we were supposed to write a word and then pass it to the next guy who wrote the same word, we all had 10 seconds each so it was pretty hard.

One of the games were rock, paper, scissors (ジャン献本 (jan ken pon) i think it is in japanese) It was fun too.

One of my norwegian friends Hien, I call him けいちゃん (keichan) since a little internal joke thing at the swedish orientation camp, Anyway he went around giving everyone nicknames, mine was guschan, pronounced gooschan with an american accent.

On the last whole day we had this farewell party where every different nationality had to show something that was typical for that country. We swedes danced around a midsummer pole. most of the people just tried to get others to say something in another language. the japanese returnees finished it off with a japanese fashion show. it was all great.

after that we had free time, free time we had like once every day like 4 hours in a row where we did everything fun. during the last freetime we took a long bath and then we just talked in our room, we were many in that small room, to quote colin, it was "awkward cozy" he was a fun american.

The following morning we all had to wake up early, at like 6, and clean the room and get ready to meet the host family. we all said our goodbyes and then we were off in groups, everyone who was taking the plane to their destination were in one group, the ones who were going to live in tokyo were in one group and the ones who was taking the train was i one group, that was me.
we took the bus to tokyo station and then we took the shinkansen to our final destination. mine was nagoya station.

everyone got really Really REALLY nervous when the train stopped, including me, but it all just went away when we saw the host families. allhough i had thing thing to say prepared i just didnt remember at the time. we walked to the car and then we headed home, they were really nice.

Later that same night they took me to a concert with japanese drums, it was really cool, i worked really hard to stay awake because i didnt want to miss anything, after that we went to one of those cool sushi places. where the sushi passes by the table. There was also this screen where you could order anything and then a small shinkansen came to deliver it to you. it was cool.

After that i went home and slept almost the second i touched the bed.

The day after that i joined the scouts, the dad is a scout leader, on a day trip. The first stop was a very cool place. You payed a small amount of yen and then you entered this green house with thousands of strawberry plants and then you could eat as much as you could get. The strawberries didnt grow in ordinary soil, they grew in water. They tasted really good, i think i ate about 60 of them. The guy who ate the most ate about 130, by the way i have said it alot at the camp and i say it again: Japanese people eat too much.

the next thing we did was to walk really far and then we had lunch. after the lunch we went to a japanese vinegar museum, it was teally cool.

after that we went home, it was starting to get pretty late.

we had dinner and then i took a bath and then i got to bed, nothing interesting.

monday we went out to buy me a school uniform, we went to this big mall that had several floors and i tried some stuff and it all looked good. I get my uniform the first of april, since they will sew it for me.

And today, the day i am writing this nothing special has happened, I am watching the baseball world championship finals right now it is japan against korea. Pretty interesting.

That pretty much sums it all up. I hope you are all having a good time wherever you are and ill try to write again soon.
