Week 11: Days 70-76

6/9 Monday:

From Japan: Day 070

My new friend.

Not much happening so I decided to take pictures of some stuff I bought. The first picture is of the various peach snacks I found. The others are of my two new friends I bought in Matsuyama; the squirrel-fox animal from "Laputa: Castle in the Sky" and "Nausicaä" (Nausicaä's pet: Teto), and Kiki's cat (Jiji) from "Kiki's Delivery Service".

Mmm... Peach Coolish is the best!

More pictures of yummy snacks. 1) Peach Calpis; small bottle (comes in 3 sizes). 2) Peach Coolish; probably my favorite peach snack, it's like something between a sno-cone and ice-cream. 3) Mochi-mochi Milk Cream; Mochi filled with marshmallow and cream, mmmmmmmmmmmm...... ^_^

6/15 Sunday:

From Japan: Day 076

A Japanese bathtub (happy now mom?).

My host-parents were out so I decided to take some pictures of the rest of the inside of the house. First was the Japanese toilet. Water comes out of the top so you can wash your hands and there are controls on the left side for a bidet. Next was the bathroom sink and shower, which has a sliding glass door and then a regular glass door for the shower. Then the kitchen. We all sit at the table for meals, I always sit at the chair near the fridge. You will notice that there is no dishwasher or oven, just a large microwave, stove, and a small little oven-like microwave. Next is the host-parents' room (next to the kitchen) which has a sliding wood door. They have a nice little flat-panel TV that they watch a lot and they sleep on the floor. Next is the view of the hall from the kitchen and last is the room across from mine upstairs where I guess they keep clothes or something and hang clothes out to dry on the deck outside. The washer is located downstairs outside next to the shower. (sorry, nothing else exciting happening)
