So now I've finally arrived here in Japan(: The flight change in Hong Kong went fine, the airport itself was HUGE didn't take any picture of it thought :/ but well I'll go back to it in a month so I'll take the picture of it then. I don't have any other pictures to put in this post either 'cause all of the pics are on my iPod and eventhought I could transfer them to this laptop that okaasan and otoosan gave for my use the problem is I don't understand japanese and everything is written in japanese.. So yeah if I find free wi-fi somewhere I'll put the pics to some album and add them to the posts later~
So Hong Kong went with no problems... The fun begun here in Japan.. When we arrived we had to fill in some custom and arrival forms and I hadn't written down the addres or phone number of my host family and they needed both of them in the form.. They took me to the side and asked guestions like what am I here for, where I'll be staying etc and I felt like I was some kind of criminal ! but after I explained that okaasan is there waiting for me outside they went to search her and okaasan then gave them the needed addres and phone number and the officers let me go. So ofcourse when we went outside there was mine and Ville's hostfamilies and some lions club members and they had some flag and all with them :D then ofcourse we took some photos (you try to look good after 2days of traveling...) and then okaasan, me and some lions member went to our car and 2hour drive to kumamoto started. The lion member owns restaurant here in Kumamoto where we went and he offered us some delicious food (dunno the names and didn't even have camera with me :c ). And then more lions members came and I greeted them all and before we left with okaasan and otoosan we took picture with everyone. And tomorow is the real welcoming party with lions where I'll have to give speech in japanese ! After the dinner in restaurant we left for our house and wow okaasan and otoosan have big and beautiful traditional japanese house ! then I went to have shower and unpacked my bag ad went to ped around 10pm.
This morning I woke up 9.20am and okaasan gave me onigiri and miso soup as breakfast (omnomnom !) and after I changed clothes me and okaasan went to her office that's next door. Again there were new people to introduse myself. After saying hello okaasan gave me a piece of paper and a pen and told me to write my speech so that she could translate it for me. And it didn't need to be real speech more like telling who I am where I come from what are my dreams etc. After I had wrote that okaasan translated it and then I had my 'speech' infront of her co-workers.
Then we came backt to the house wth otoosan and okaasan made us lunch (some cold noodles can't remember name but it was really yummy) then I had freetime and at 3pm okaasan and I dropped otoosan to his work and went shopping to the mall. Found there few souvenires for couple of friends and some other little things for myself (mirror, notebook, lipstick etc) and oh Japan you and your engrish (okay only found Lame mirror which is not that wrong but wouldn't buy it and a bag that said something bioutiful).
After mall we came back home with okaasan and she made us dinner that was somewhat similiar to dumplings and then we just sat down to watch tv and around 8-9pm we went to pick up otoosan from snack bar nearby (he was there with some co-workers and friends I guess) and again new people and everyone saying how cute I am etcetc and more pictures.
And now we are back at home and it's time for shower and sleepy time.(:
