とにかく、また言う。帰りたくない。この夏休みはすーごい楽しい。みんなと一緒に遊んで、でもね それはたぶん私もうつぐ帰っちゃうから。でも、その理由だったら、どうでもいい。みんなに会える。違う所でいたくない。ここでいい。それだけほしい。だからね、木曜日、いっぱいことを考えた。あとはね、アンドリューと私、ちょっと似てると思う。いや。似てないかもしれない。でもアンドリューは台湾に行くんだ。うちで帰らない。だからね、たまに同じことを考えるかもしれない。うちはどこ？うちは何？いつも好きな場所？そこで笑える？幸せ？楽？愛する人がいる？何それ？私うちがわからない。意味がわからない。なんで違う所ずっとがいたい？どうして？どこでもいい、韓国、日本、ィグリス、中国、ロシア、台湾、なんでも！でも本当のうちにいたくない。もういいか。いつも泣き言やるだよね。
日本はまだ私のうちじゃないけど このじこうは幸せ。本当の幸せ。

I think I'm also doing something with my host family on the 28th but it hasn't been made official yet. Then I have to meet with other people yet who want to go for karaoke. But I never got any texts from them yet on when. But I'm busy as you can see. And on the 8th, I can't be happier. The closest group of people I am with in Kyuudou and probably throughout my stay here, they are the last people I'll be seeing. It's really thanks too for how close they live to me though but Nozomi, on the 25th I went to Tokyo and I got a bunch of texts from her. We were just trying to figure out when we could meet again and do something. But like, it just really sounded that she really wanted to see me again. I was really happy. We had a plan to meet on the 8th but then I already forgot I was supposed to meet with Tomoka, Asami, and Nojiri that day to do something. Crap. So then on our way to the Omika Hanabi Matsuri yesterday I was trying to work around this with them. So, plans changed. on the 8th Tomoka and the others decided that Nozomi can join us in karaoke(karaoke was originally planned for the 30th but it changed for this). And I get to go to karaoke. I wish I didn't have to be home for 6 though for some host family party. I would rather stay with the 4 of them all night. Because, I love them.
I took pictures of the things I've received so far. I'll do that last.
Thursday was great. We were planning on shooting fireworks but Akane had to go to piano class early and since she wouldn't be with us we decided to reschedule that to the 6th. First it was the 5 of us, me, Asami, Tomoka, Nojiri, and Nozomi. We did our shopping and in about 2 hours everyone else showed up. Tomoka and Nojiri went to the station to wait for them and me, Asami, and Nozomi were bored at Asami's house. So, we decided to walk to the ocean. I got soaked, and we found a ball and we kept throwing it into the ocean only for it to come back to us with the waves. We were all screaming "Ganbatte!" so it would float to America, so they were saying haha. It was fun just BEING THERE. My cell phone is still alive somehow, pretty soaked when I took it out of my pocket. When we got back my shorts were bad so I had to change into this ugly pair shorts. When everyone came from the station they must have thought I had pretty bad style haha. When it was explained I changed everyone was like, ahh~.
I introduced everyone to smores. Can you believe they've never heard of them? I personally don't think they were too fond of them though haha. And I also received one last thing from them. They made me a poster board thing where everyone wrote a little something. An ichi-nensei drew the picture of me. It's drawn REALLYYYY good. But it's just wow. Kyuudou Club really... proper words I can't describe. I'm just reading them, going to tears. That day was really supposed to be our last meeting. Misaki, Ikumi, and Wakako gave me letters.Wakako was all shocked when we'd be meeting again 'cause then she was telling me to wait until I read the letter then. Gomen, I already read it. I enjoyed myself that day, really. I'm so glad I'm meeting them again. I'm making them all handkerchiefs (before you laugh people actually use them everyday here).
The next day I actually started packing. I have one suitcase done but kapibara-san is inside it... so I think I may have to repack it.
Then I went to Tokyo with Kayo to see some some-what famous person that she really likes in a drama. So I took my picture with him, held his hand, and that's it. But Kayo has the picture since I didn't need it and she wanted it anyway. The guy's name is Daisuke Watanabe. I know absolutely NOTHING about him.
I didn't even think about it at the time when I agreed to go that it would be my last time in Tokyo. In any case, I wanted to buy a backpack for the plane since I'd have a lot of stuff I'd want to carry for the 8 hour wait in Chicago. Found a cute one and I also ended up buying a used version of yes, the Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days DS game. Yes, I now have it in my possession and I am playing it. It's seriously just like the PS2 games. The graphics are great for the DS, it's great to hear voice actors(especially the Japanese ones^^), and I am amazed at the camera controls on the touch screen. You can be fighting or just walking around and stuff, all you have to do is swipe the touch screen and you control the camera position. It moves soooo swiftly and it seriously reminds you of the PS2 movements. Amazing. But I'm bored at the moment. I'm only still playing it because I want to move with the story because every time they show the flashbacks I want to know more! I'm tired of doing stupid missions(><)
The game play is a little different when it comes to leveling up and stuff. You don't just level up. You receive a level up thing then you gotta equip it to you and then you're officially leveled up. And then that stuff gets confusing 'cause there's a different thing of level up that you receive but it's not normal. Maybe it's just confusing to me since it's in Japanese. Can't read all the kanji they spit out at me and I don't understand ALL Japanese words.
I went to Shinjuku as my last stop since I've never been there before and wanted to see it. Shinjuku isn't amazing. But while there I won a Kapibara-san thermos from a UFO Catcher (woo!) and Kayo won Kapibara-san glass cups from another (yay!)
On our way home on the bus we saw some fireworks. That day Tokyo was shooting off fireworks and I saw some while on the bus. And that was my last trip to Tokyo.
Yesterday I went to Omika for a fireworks festival. That was fun. Super hot but still enjoyable. We did a lot of walking just to get there but I think I was the only person the most excited haha. Everyone got tired from walking by the time we got there. I ate the MOST DELICIOUS food I have eaten throughout my entire stay, in Japan. It's not even a Japanese food, it's Chinese. I ate it twice I loved it so much. And I had kakigori (ice cone) with everyone. That's a Japanese summer festival thing. Everyone eats it. And I ate it with my friends, happy^^. I got melon flavor and it was really good. I wonder how yogurt flavor would have tasted.
I wanted to buy a Yatterman mask but the lady said 1,000 yen. WHAT?! Expensiveeee~ And I saw 4 other friends of mine♥ 2 of them wore yukatas and they both were reallyyyy pretty. I was like wow, couldn't believe I knew them. Actually, pretty much everyone who wore a yukata was amazingly pretty. And today I realized how many Japanese people dye their hair. It's crazy.
I saw the fireworks which were great and then we headed back to Hitachi. Lots of fun, that's for sure♥
And now for pictures☆
The first one is of Ayaka and Yumi. I look like crap but aren't they pretty???? I was stunned.
Since Friday I decided that everyday I'll wear these bracelets. Because they all have meaning.
left to right:
-This is a present from Wakako I received with her letter.
-I received this from Ikumi with her letter. She made it.
-This is the souvenir I received from my class last year when they went to Hawaii
-I received this from Banu, the India exchange student, on my last day of school
-And the bracelet with my name on it I received from English Club
I got this from Kei on the last day. If you know the clothing brand/store Sex Pot Revenge they have a free little magazine you can take and I guess she's been collecting them. But she had 3 with An Cafe on the cover and so she gave the to me♥
This is also from English Club. Every member wrote something in each heart and then I received the mug.
The small picture frame is what all the san-nensei in Kyuudou received from the ni-nensei that I was talking about. The other big picture I received from my teacher of everyone from the class match. In the next Akko blog I'll be talking about the class match, it was ton's of fun. (I also received a video tape of my classmates giving small speeches about random topics. I think me and Pat were supposed to be in it too but we weren't around at the time. I can't wait to watch it when I get to a VHS player.) Then next to that I received from my classmates, everyone wrote a small message.
Then this is from Kyuudou, the san-nensei. The poster board with everyone's short message and then the huge photo album. I'm so grateful for the photo album. I'll never forget any of them♥
Asami, Tomoka, Me, Asuka (Nojiri) at the Omika Matsuri
