my city was nomishi. all the students first sat in a semi circle facing the stage for a drum performance by a group of cute boys.


then our semi circle switched to face the families and we had to do self-introduction about where we are from and greetings in our national language.
when everything was finally done, we had a little chat with our host family. i was a bit embarrassed because i went to play with the wrong kids. (-_-`) but oh well. my family had a little girl of age 4 named kanako and a cute baby boy aged 1.
from where we lived, you could actually tell it's sort of a rural are with a lot of farmlands.

we took a little tour around the area. a spooky temple near it.




didn't enter to pray because of the clumps of spider webs around

we then went to our host family's farm to pick some vegetables.

chilli!

pumpkin on the roof of the house

kawaii kanoko

the sun was already setting by the time we were about to go home



here i had my first japanese dinner in a japanese household. the food looks so yoshinoya!
salad appetizer

beef bowl with onsen egg (half-boiled)

miso soup

and of cos desserts (i think it was grapes at that time)
i was also pretty awed by the little baby who was able to eat by himself. he was sucking on the beef slices. sooooo cutttttttttttte <3 <3

and he loves miso soup. look at how happy he is. and i realised that mam mam also means to eat in japanese akanbou (baby) language.

hiroko was baking her bread for tomorrow using this machine
