Well.... Over the next few days I am going to be extremely busy! On the 3rd 4th and 5th days of this month, I have my town's festival. On the 3rd, Takeshi Ishii from Itami (I stayed with him when I went to Itami and he stayed with us when he came to Australia) will be coming down (as it is holidays for everyone) to see the festival. He will stay till the next day (4th) and go home later that day. On the 4th, all the Rotary exchange students from the district are coming down to see the festival. They will be staying until the 5th and then go home. The Rotarians in my club have organised for everyone to receive happis (the stripey coats for the festival) and that means that everyone can participate in the festival.. i think flying kites, carrying the floats, going in the night festival, and other stuff I don't know about yet! I'll have to tell you once I have done it. Thats all so far! My new host family is pretty kewl and their house is very large with a great Japanese garden. I live on the second floor in a room where everything is new including the chairs, desk and bed. They have a karaoke machine (not a real one) but a dvd player that allows you to put in normal cds and kinda block the voice and you can sing into a mic (cos there is a slot for one). You can buy karaoke dvd cds but there are not many (or any) that have english songs on them! ‚³‚ñ‚Ë‚ñ! Well thats it for now. Bye Bye!
