For those of you wondering, it is a mat on the floor that I have been sleeping on. Its actually quite comfortable.
Yesterday I spent all day with Mrs. Minegishi and Takafumi (some of you know who that is). We went up into the mountains by Maebashi that apparently are very famous. We went to the lake up near the top of one of the mountains, and we went on a jet boat ride. After that we went to Kyoai Gakuen (my highschool) and had a meeting with a chairperson there. Then we went to dinner, which was amazing. There was a stove in the middle of the table and all the meat was given to us raw, and we cooked our own food. After that we went to a traditional Japanese bath house. It is built around a hot spring so all the water is heated naturally. It was very strange at first and i was very nervous, but soon got over that and it turned into a very enjoyable and relaxing experience.
So, yesterday, I was offered (which on exchange means you have to say yes) ice cream almost everywhere we went. I ended up eating it 4 seperate times yesterday! But, the ice cream I have had here is very good. For some reason it is creamier and softer than in America, which is cool because I like it like that.
So overall, first two days have been great dispite all the confusion and moving around. Currently it is 9:43 am, so the day has just begun and I cant wait to find out what I'll be doing today.
Oh and also, it sounds like Rotary wants to buy me a guitar, which is cool, but, I think guitar stuff is expensive over here so I'd feel bad if they spent lots of money on me. But it sounds like they really want to, but only on one condition..... I have to play for them. hahaha
Wow, you packed a lot of activites into one day! But that is cool that you are seeing new things... and eating a lot of ice cream LOL! That is cool that the Rotary wants to buy you a guitar. If they end up buying you one, don't feel bad, just gracefully and thankfully accept their gift to you. And make sure you play a lot of songs for them :)
