I just realized how bad I ve been with writing in my blog and posting pictures!especially posting pictures! I havent posted anything since North Platte! I kept postponing it (story of my life) but I promise to post some pictures soon!
So we left Japan last Monday... I was so sad, my last host family in Tokyo was the best! (even though I say this everytime, this time I really mean it). Both my host parents spoke very good english and for the first time I stayed up very late many nights, having interesting conversations! (sleep is very important to me, I dont waste it for just anyone!) But the reason I adored this family was the children! I had the cutest, the most intelligent and sweet babies in the world! The boy was the love of my life, he was 6 and so artistic! And he likes singing and dancing and his favourite song is "memories" from Cats. And the little girl, Manae was soooooo sweet! See the pictures, you ll see what I mean! I played with them a lot. I was happy to go home at the end of a long day, just because I was gonna see them. The whole family cried the day we left, but I was too sad to cry. I dont think I was ready to leave Japan, even though it seems that everyone else was. Some people were really bored of the food or the cutlure, but I would be happy if we had a few weeks more (even though i started getting bored of the food- it feels good to eat european again!)
The city of Tokyo is of course very cool! (everyone knows that). I loved it! but there are many things I didnt have time to see (like the big fish market and the art museums). I ll have to go back I guess (one of my host families offered to pay for my honey moon if I decided to go to Japan!)
The last days I had some "interesting" experiences, which were not so good.. I lost my ticket from Japan to Europe and I had to pay 100 dollars.. I didnt exactly lose it, I kind of threw it in the dustbin thinking it was trash (those of you who really know me are probably thinking thats very typical me). Yeah, I didnt forget myself yet. Also, I bought a really cute and fancy pink camera, but unfortunately, it doesnt "speak" english, so I have to operate it in japanese (I got over this one, I planned to learn to read japanese anyway). 3rd thing is that I lost about 200 photos from the last 3 cities. That was hard to get over too. Oh well!
As I was saying, I was sad to leave Japan, but the sadness didnt last that long! As soon as we landed in Frankfurt I just left the past behind! I am so excited to be back to Europe, you cant imagine!! I feel that Im back to my element, back home, even though its nothing like home. Im back to my contintent! The food is familiar, the people have the same mentality and I can use my cell phone! Im happy :-)
First stop in Europe is Belgium. I have never been here before and I love it!! Its so beautiful qnd picturesque! Me and Sarah from California are staying with Anais and her real family and they are very nice people! Her mum is so funny and smiley and her dad is always up for a nice conversation and her 13- year old brother is the coolest teenager in the world. Hes fun! Staying with Anais is the best thing that happened to me in this trip! and sharing the room with Sarah is awsome, I love her so much! Shes one of the best people in the cast, you have to try really hard not to love her! Im getting to know Anais a lot better too, but shes so busy being in her own country, with her real family and her old friends, and we havent spent a lot of time together. Hopefully before Monday we ll get to talk more..
Wow, if you made it so far, congratulations, you dont have much to do today, do you? :-) I guess if I have the energy to write it, you can read it! I better get to bed soon, tomorrow is the toughest day, we have two shows! So many people are gonna be there, I feel nervous.. I ve messed up in every show since Denver, but tomorrow Im planning to get everything right. My friend Joke is coming to see it, Im excited to finally have a guest! I met Joke in Spain and it was so great seeing her again! We went for a coffe in Brussels on Wednesday and last night we went out to a bar in Leuven. I had the best time, I havent been out for so long, I missed it!
5 more weeks! I ll keep you posted!
