AMERICA

Yeah----!! I'm in America now!!

The flight to America from Japan was really long. I sat down next to Shioro and talk with her a lot. And I talked with a woman who was sitting next to Shiori. She is Indonesian! She can't speak both Japanese and English, but we could talk on paper! I was enjoyed talking with her.

After I arrived in the U.S., I was looking for my host family, but I couldn't. Then, someone called my name YOSHIMI!! Of course, they were my host family! They knew my face so they found me! I was pleased because they had seven lanterns which written YOSHIMI!! My mother took pictures and we tried to find our car. First, we couldn't find the car and we were finding the car for a long time! haha!

After that, we could find the car and went to our house. In the car, we talked lots of things. My host family have four members. There are a father, a mother and two girls! They are 8 years old and 5 years old. They are sooooooooooo cute!! And they have two cats....And me!

First day, my host mother introduced my room. It's special room, I think!
After that, we went to picnic in the park and had lunch. Japanese students taught Japanese traditional playing to Minnesotan people. We had a good time! We went to a grocery store on route. It was first time that I went to go such a big grocery store! I was surprised and had fun with my host sisters! After we went back home, my host mother and sisters showed me their beautiful garden. They picked some vegetables and flowers, and gave me. The most surprising thing is that we can enter the room with shoes!! I was confused!! This is my first day in Minnesota! I want to put on some pictures, but I can't on my mother's computer. Bummer!

I will write more stories in Minnesota! See ya!
