Today was truly an amazing day! School was normal, we had Math, English, Japanese, Health, and Computer (which I use to read BBC World News and get caught up on events.). In health we did a strange test to see our alcohol tolerance for the future — we took cotton balls with rubbing alcohol and taped them to our arms for seven minutes. If your skin became red, you had a weak tolerance. I am not sure if it is s legit test, but my skin remained unchanged, which means I have a high tolerance level…

Anyway, after school I went to my old Host Family’s house to teach my Host Mother how I had crocheted the Hot Pads (both styles) and to learn from her how to do a lot of the cool Japanese crocheted works I have seen (BTW, the Japanese mostly crochet, not knit. Even their two-needle work is done with long crochet needles. But they also do a lot of needlework with their fingers, which I realized skimming through the books Okaasan had borrowed from the library.). Anyway, Okaasan didn’t know how to crochet the unique Japanese stuff yet, so we are going to meet again next week in Wednesday, which is very convenient because my New Host Family is busy every Wednesday, to learn Japanese crochet styles as well as how to make Tenpura — and I am going to teach them how to make Pulyodre!

Anyway after the crocheting we had a fabulous dinner of spaghetti, sushi, tenpura, and salad, and then I helped the grandkids with their English. It was all a lot of fun — I also gave them my camera pics and put theirs on my USB.

Okay I know there is more but cannot think of it so goodnight!
