Osaka awkward - true. My two roommates kind of trailed along, and somehow Ayako didn't really seem into it... "awkward" remains my overwhelming impression. Marius big cigarettes - true. He was trying out different kinds to find one he liked in japan and he was smoking some huge ones. Really big.
waiting two hours, email - Ayako was waiting in the library for two hours before we found her. Plus it takes a long time for her to get here, she told me before. Bad miscommunication, I apologized profusely.
Express to Osaka, change trains - that's how we got there.
Walk up to castle 500 yen takoyaki - Ayako bought them for us. I should have let her but I didn't know how to stop her. hot hot hot - they were really really hot.
omg that's my host family so nervous - I saw them through the window as I was writing these notes in the lounge.
ayako something wrong kind of face - like I said, she seemed to not be having a very good time. Because she had to wait so long, but also... I don't know. She seemed to be having fun at other times.
museum inside castle, panorama shots like kumamoto - Like Kumamoto castle, Osaka castle is a modern recreation filled with a museum. I took panorama shots from the top in Kumamoto, too.green tea ice cream - delicious, but not as delicious as hagen daaz green tea ice cream, which I bought one evening walking back to the dorm and consumed completely in a ravenous fit while walking. That was the night after the kyoto tour.
doushio - after eating the ice cream and wandering around the castle, this word was uttered several times. Means, what should we do, or something like that. Awkward.
return trip, packing, cookies on walk - I bought cookies on the walk back from the train station, as we were headed back to the dorms. 84 yen tubes of tiny cookies. Pretty good.
I've forgotten my host parents' names, both of them - of my host parents in high school, who I just called mom and dad, and of my new ones, that I read on the form.
I haven't showered... since the hotel at the airport. true.
Shit thirteen minutes - on the clock till I met my host family.
skype, desk, futon thoughts - futon thoughts? I don't remember what was going on with that one. Here's a picture of my desk. sleep conversation w marius - apparently he said something while he slept and I, also sleeping, replied.
omg I'm not sure what room I'm supposed to meet them and I've lost the form - there wasn't even a room on the form. I was just freaking out.
Raining today - pretty hard.
OK I know the boy's name isn't sokka like from avatar but that's all I can think of because I mentioned it the other day on here - true.
vending machine ramen - eaten in the rain during the afternoon. Very picturesque.
five minutes shit shit shit so nervous - I was really quite nervous.
children's packet from osaka castle - there was a rather adorable children's guide to osaka castle in addition to an english one and a regular japanese one. Lots of cartoon samurai. Kept a copy.
I don't even remember their last name, shiiiiiit - true.
this will go fine this will go fine shit shit - I was pretty nervous.
I think I should call him sokka on my blog that would be funny, her name sounds nothing like catara though and this blog has a pretty high saturation of avatar jokes already - true. Not super funny any way you count it, too.
my butt is pretty wet - from the rain ramen episode.
waited till the last minute, but totoro - I waited till the minute I was assigned to head upstairs to the meeting area but they just funelled me into a room where they were playing my neighbor totoro and other students were also waiting.
cat bus - a little bit longer? Maybe saw a different family - maybe. Still not sure actually. Wrote this in the waiting room, tehy told me it was going to be a few more minutes
kind of a sad movie actually - her hospitalized mother and all.
two old photos - ? Not sure what I was talking about here.
last one in the room - probably the last, last student to meet their host family. There were no students scheduled later than I on the schedule.
waiting like this slightly unbearable - true.
credits roll, totoro - yep.
Stay tuned for my host family tomorrow.
