My host family has a tradition of eating soba every Saturday. It just so happens that soba is my favorite Japanese food. I love it a lot. Told you this family was perfect for me!
Big news in Japan: Sumo wrestlers have been fixing games for betting etc. It is on TV a lot. I was going to do a whole explanation for you, but my dad just sent me a video about it [lucky coincidence!] so you can watch that.
I couldn't add the video to my post because it isn't from youtube. :(
I found To Kill a Mockingbird in Japanese in the library today! I can pretty much read it too! I need to have my dictionary nearby, but I now know enough kanji to not rely so heavily on the dictionary that it takes years to read anything. I know it is lame to be reading a book from the US, but it really helps to have an idea of what should be happening. Once I can read a little more I will move on to Japanese books. But this is my first book, so I think it is ok.
I forgot! Yesterday was the exact half-way point of my exchange year. Whoa.
