Today was a great day! So, in the morning I went with Okaasan to Church which was very nice, and then we headed to a hotel for my farewell party (it was held in the banquet hall of a restaurant inside the hotel, similar to Dadda’s graduation party but on a smaller scale. There were 16 people overall I think from both host families, and after eating the fabulous meal (they had little vegetarian variety do Otousan ordered a special order for me again) we went around the table and people gave short speeches of farewell and their memories with me, and then I also gave a short farewell and thank you speech. It was all very very nice. Afterwards, we came home, and I had eaten so much I just collapsed on the bed and took around a two hour nap. Then I got up, and the rest of the evening was pretty normal; we talked watch TV, read, ate, etc.
So yeah I am going to sleep now, so goodnight!
