And like magic, I'm back!


Sorry, it'S been a long while, like month or song, and bunchs of stuff has happend^^
and you get to here all about it, well that is depending if i I7m in the mood to type it out....lol XP
oh, that photo is from the airport, when we left for our school trip to hokkaido, I have other better pics, but i havn't had a chance to upload them yet, sorries....
so my class trip, I7m so sick of talking about it, I7m just gonna give you a breif over veiw....oh, yeh Haokkaido is the northern most island of japan, it'S cold there.
Day 1, Sunday: Flew from Kansai to Ashahiyama
Ashahiyama Zoo, there were penguins. I like penguins, alot, they're cute <3.
Day 2, Monday: Drove to Lake Kushiroko
Went to small Aquarium, and Kita Kitusune(hokkaido north fox) sanctuary.
foxes are cute too.<3
Day 3, tuesday: Drove to the coast
Visited the purest lake in all japan, I can'T remember the name at moment.....
that was the coldest day of them all, teh ocean was freezing.
that hotel we stayed at that night had an all you can you eat buffet, and part of the buffet, they had tacos, that made annalisa very happy. they also had cotton candy, that also made me happy.
Day 4,Wednesday:Northcoast of Hokkaido
this was teh funnest day. we had a choice of 4 activities that day, i choes to go mountain biking. That was really fun. We rode along the coast for the most the time. the first part we went through the forest, and then BLAM! you don't expect and OCEAN!
well, cliffs, and then the ocean, we were on teh tops of the cliffs, it was so pretty sine it was almost sunset. It didn't look like japan, it looked like something on the United states east coast or in Europe. It actually looked like something out of a miyazaki movie. Mostly due to the big feilds on the cliffs, and then these huge windmills.
Hey america take clue from japan! Windpower!
Day 5, Thursday:Drove to Kushiro
this was intersting, due to the fact i had no idea what was going on, and we had to get uo really early, first we went to the ocean and took lots of pics, it was really bright for 7am...and i must say I look pretty good in male pirate lolita at 7am...lol jk.
but eyh, we actually went rafting that day. not like rafting in durango with rapids and stuff, it was really slow and shaloow, wich is good becuase anyone who knows me knows, annalisa hates rafting, and annalisa can't swim very well.
also, that night we went bowling, wich i am horrible at....
Day 6, Friday, Fly home to kansai
That day, we also got up really early. not fun. After we were "awake" we walked to a marketplace i downtown Kushiro, since it was our last day, alot of my friends bought crabs for their family, because you know hokkadio crabs are famous, apparently even better than alsakan king crab....
but after than we took the express train to Sapporo and waited around in the airport, and then flew home, to osaka. While we in the airprot waiting to board our flight, I saw a pokemon plane, it was sick, if i may say so myself.
So teh past couple weeks, after the school trip we were kinda uneventful. Me and some the other exchange students wanted to go to this concert, taste of chaos (the used, rise against, Aiden, etc...) We were all from the same district, but all from differnt clubs. In my district, the rules are that the host family tops rotary rules. Normal rotary curfew is 9:30,but some families gice their students curfews of 10pm or Midnight. some don't have a curfew, just as long as their dressed and ready for school the next day. My host family gave me curfew, of 5:30
in the afternoon
everyday
even on weekends.
lame, i know.
also, my rotary rules are that students cannot go out on weekdays into osaka at night without a rotary person. SO the only one who endeed up going was alan, who apparently had a blast.
But Dir en Grey is playing next month, on a saturday night, and the concert dosn't go too late, and I7ll have differt family, with new rules (trust me you can't get much worse than 5:30 pm), and we'll going wiht a group. so keep your fingers crossed!

So noithing much other than that, changing families next week. thats going to be interesting, due to the fact the day after i move in I'm going to hiroshima for 3 days on a rotary trip. whee!
and then right when i get back we have too new exchange students from australia, with the boyscouts(but they're girls...weird...) coming to our school during their summer break(remember australia is in the southern hemishpere, their summer is our winter), then christmas! whee! sorta, japan christmas is going to weird. and then ALan and will go home, wich is sad, those guys are fun. but then we get new excange students and stuff from the southern hemisphere and such, fun fun fun.

so that all for now
bye bye!
