...my family! I've given up on that video, everytime I try to upload it, it goes: *coughcoughmetalliccomputerbeep* I'm sorry, there was an error uploading your video.
But THEN it occured to me that despite frequently referencing my family I haven't shown you pictures of them at all. And since nothing major has happened recently, here goes:
All right! My host sister, Ayuko, is the one on the far left and my grandmother is the second from the right (the last lady is one of her friends.) I'm the awkward looking one.
Some stuff to know:
1. Ayuko is incredibly cute and nice. Kinda quiet, and a little slow-moving (and that's self-described) and loves Snoopy and the color green.
2. My grandmother can literally do everything: paint, cook, sew, misc. crafts. She made me a shirt. I mean, really! It's like she's the 80 year-old superwoman!
From left to right that is: Asako, my host mother; Osamu, my host dad, Me, and my host father's parents. I just call them grandma and grandpa, like usual.
More Stuff:
1. My host mom is, like I said, a nutritionist, so she weighs everything. For example, I eat 120grams of rice. She eats 150grams of rice. That sort of thing.
2. My host dad isn't home much, but just spent three days with us. He is preparing to take this English exam, so he spent a chunk of time studying, but he keeps trying to learn more.
Those are Ayuko's twin cousins, Yujiro on the left and Tatsuya on the right. They're 19 and studying to get into university. Actually, they asked to take their picture with me first, on their cellphones. And they like my hair. They have an older brother who's 20 but I didn't really get to talk to him much.
Everyone is very nice, and I'm just enjoying the last two days of summer break before school starts. *sigh*
Cheers everyone!

What is a host parent? Do they assign you to a family to love with while youre in japan? Do you live there for free?
