JAMESTOWN!

Jamestown was a lot of fun!
After a 3 hour busride, we arrived in a town with wooden 'adams family' type houses. We had a cheesy dinner, literally. Then we went off to host families for the night! I stayed with Ayumi, from Japan with a family who lived just outside of the town. It was really nice! Very different, but fun! My host sister made each of us beaded rings, really cute!

It was great to see all of the exchange students again, especially for the dance! that was a lot of fun ;) pretty wild!I'm really excited to get my Blazer in June! Getting all of the pins from the inbounds made me so much more excited for my exchange!


I started to learn some Japanese when I got my country placement just a month ago, and I thought I could at least string a sentence toegther.. but nope! Speaking to the exchange students from Japan was a painful task! I can not understand any of it yet! So I must study TEN THOUSAND HOURS by the time I become fluent!

Ten thousand hours... I don't think even I did that much, I don't think even Niku did that much. And as I'm sure you know, a lot of the Japanese you need to know isn't sentences, it's key phrases.
