News from Saturday!
-------------------------------
I talked about how I could make chocolate chip muffins to my host family and so they were really excited when I said I would make some for them. The only problem being is that all the ingredients that I use in my famous muffin recipe are either non-existant in Japan or a little bit different. I went shopping and found things that were almost the same, but there was no self raising flour! Instead I thought 'hmmm.. lets just shove a stack of baking powder in'. Well this kind of worked... I was scared that any second now when they were baking, they would explode. All went well except that the muffins tasted nothing like what they usually do in Australia and had a weird colour, and didn't feel like muffins... but overall a success. I also wasn't able to use an oven.. we had to use a microwave that by the flick of a switch turns into an oven.

Something else that I found that was cool on Saturday was that my host-sister's husband has a car that turns itself on and starts the engine from a press of a button on the keyless entry thing. This turns on the air conditioner and heats or cools the cars atmosphere to the desired ammount... Why cant we have cars like that in Australia!
