Rotary Youth Exchange to Kawachinagano, Osaka, Japan 2013-2014. Saturday, August 31, 2013. I may finally agree that school rocks. It’s quite an experience. Fortunately, I have not had any negative experiences because of this. One thing I have noticed, though, is that everyone from Nagano High School recognizes me and says “hello” in English. It’s very cool! I feel so welcomed to the school. On Friday, I went to the Nagano Wind Orchestra’s rehearsal. It was incredible! It's really hard work, though. While...

Rotary Youth Exchange to Kawachinagano, Osaka, Japan 2013-2014. Wednesday, February 19, 2014. An Update in Picture Form. It's been quite a while since you've been updated. It's been just over a month and that sounds like a good time to catch up! In the beginning and middle of January I had to say goodbye to some exchange friends who started their year abroad last spring. The first ones to go were two friends from Germany. Of course, Peanut (the hat) had to be worn before going home. I had the opportunity...

Rotary Youth Exchange to Kawachinagano, Osaka, Japan 2013-2014. Monday, May 26, 2014. It's been awhile and a lot has happened. We'll see if everything fits. The traditional Japanese inn that I lived in for two months had a hot spring. This was one of them with a great view of the river. My host dad is a flower arranging teacher. I got to sit in on one of his classes! Everyone put their money together and they rented out a dome for a couple hours. It must be a fantastic product. Evening on the ocean.

Rotary Youth Exchange to Kawachinagano, Osaka, Japan 2013-2014. Monday, January 6, 2014. Soit's been about a month and a lot has happened! This post and the following will all be done as picture blogs instead of essays as I have become more accustomed to everyday life and find it unnecessary to blog about a normal day. I do realize that is not the case for those of you outside of Japan, but please bear with me as I'm not a fan of writing about my daily activities. First off: Happy New Year! I went to Jai...

Rotary Youth Exchange to Kawachinagano, Osaka, Japan 2013-2014. Wednesday, November 27, 2013. When we first arrived, we walked around the small school and past the gym to the entrance. Along the wall of the gym were all of these awesome contraptions. Pogo sticks,unicycles, and stilts! Quite impressive for an elementary school to be teaching those! After spending time watching all of the worms learn, they all crowded around me and started climbing on me! I had know idea being a jungle gym could be so hard!

Rotary Youth Exchange to Kawachinagano, Osaka, Japan 2013-2014. Tuesday, October 29, 2013. I took a break from Aikidou on Saturday night because I was still recovering from my illness last week. When I got home from school, there was a package for me from Michelle Fredrickson! Thanks so much Michelle! It was wonderfully decorated and full of all sorts of Halloween goodies! The peanut butter tastes delicious and so do the skittles! Sunday was a long day! It was very strange. It was (and I’m going to...
