HOME! 
Well, I'm home again. The flight was actually pleasant, if long (but only as long as they said it would be!).

Now the question is, what do I do with this blog?

I still have pictures I could post, like the previously mentioned ones. But it would feel a bit fake, I guess, posting in my Japan blog from the States?

ANYWAY, what do YOU think? Who would be interested in reading about the stuff I haven't written about yet?

Nearing the end... 
I went yesterday to pick up my mom from the airport. It took a while to get there (not as long as I had expected though) and of course I had to sit around and wait for her flight to land and her to get through customs.

But yes, so now I've got my mom in Japan too!

But this means that my trip is almost over. "Trip"... is really more of a "stay," I guess. I'll be flying home on the 27th of May; my mom will be helping me transport all of this stuff that I bought.

Things that I did that I haven't shared yet:

- Heading out to middle-of-nowhere, Nara, to meet with my speaking partner and her friend (I went to Disneyland with them). It was a lot of fun -- I made Tortellini with Alfredo sauce, and then we watched disney movies.

- Hirakata Park with some friends. (It was crowded, but fun. My two friends also decided to make it a day of fanservice for me, lol.)

- Went to Eiga-mura with speaking partner&friend + classmate. That was fun too; we took a lot of silly pictures in "traditional" Japanese locations. But I'll be going back this saturday with my host family + my mom.

- Went to a doujinshi convention. Bought a lot of doujinshi. God, I'm such a nerd. D: I got a Shuuchishin doujinshi though, that's so worth it. (More on Shuuchishin later?)


I think those are the biggest things that happened.

It is kind of sad that I'm leaving so soon. I know I want to come back to Japan. I absolutely loved it here. And ooooh, Kansai food. D: OKONOMIYAKI. I've been informed by two people now that there actually is Kaiten-zushi in the states. but there is less of a chance of me finding Okonomiyaki, I think.

..... D: I want to have Okonomiyaki now.

Kaiten-zushi. 
This is Kaiten-zushi (conveyor belt sushi):




I wish they had it in the states. I will miss it when I go home.

Each plate is only 105 yen! ... but it does add up if you eat a lot.
