konbanwa!

Hi guys! In Nagoya at the moment, with my host family. I'm allowed to use their computer! So hello :D

The trip's been GREAT so far! I still need to send you guys postcards, ne. Oops, sorry D: Ne, so we flew to Narita Airport, then went to Hiroshima! Visited Miyajima Island, and the Itsukushima Shrine. IT'S SO COOL - they have deer (shika) walking around everywhere, and you can just walk right up to them and pat them and luvo with them! LOL! Hehehe.

We went to the Genpaku Dome and the Hiroshima Peace Museum as well. Kirei deshita, demo totemo sabishikute kanashikatta desu yo ne. :( BUT WE DID LOTS OF SHOPPING THOUGH! Hope you'll like your presents. Especially you, Lauren. I bought you a toilet.

Ne. My English level is like WAAAAAAAY down since I'm speaking Japanese all the time. So sorry about my weird syntax and grammar and whatever.

Ja, it's kinda late now, so I'm off to bed x__________x oyasumi! Talk to you soon :D
