hello from tokyo

It:s been a crazy trip and excuse my typing because these keyboards arent exactly what I:m used to and I can:t be bothered finding the apostrophe....

Day 1 was Tokyo Tower, Asakusa and Harajuku - basically A LOT OF SHOPPING! I bought a pikachu plushie, a frog coin purse (cos you gain coins like crazy over here), a new bag (the one I brought here... the zip kinda died), 2 voodoo doll keyrings (maybe for friends) and a realistic looking donut keyring :D

Today was school and meeting our host girls, my girl is really sweet! Her mum is really lovely as well, both very patient with my crap Japanese...their house is also HUGE compared to what I imagined! They have the most adorable sausage dog called Cookie who runs around the house wearing a jumper and opening the sliding doors with his face HAHA. her younger sister has swine flu and the dad is in Germany so the mum is mostly upstairs looking after the younger sister, and I:m all alone on the bottom floor in a room to myself :) Ayano and I did a bit of timtam slamming, which she found difficult LOL...and dinner was also awesome, purple potato wth!! It tasted sooo good, and so did everything else. I felt bad for telling my host mum that I dont eat fish and prawn (but i eat sashimi and tempura) but hopefully that saved her from cooking me things I don:t like

anyways I:m off!
