It's bin a while. This week was and still is pretty busy. Before I forget my teacher teched me how to put on an kimono by myself last week. The on Sunday mama, papa and me went to see the cherryblossom and I put on the kimono by myself with mamas help ( It's almoat impossible to put on the obi alone) she also made my hair.

On Thuesday we went to Kamakura. Kamakura is famous for it's many shrines and temples. In total there are 200. We vistited three. A friend of my host family showed us around. It was super nice especially because the cherry trees are in blossom right know. After the visites we had lunch at the friends house. It was soo yummy.

We stayed then overnight at gradpas (mamas side) house

Last week on monday students from an american boys school came to our school. We showed them around our school, showed them a japanese teeceremony and made Okonomoyaki together. The Okonomiyaki was delicious and the students liked it too. It was super cool and fun. We talked alot in english, of course.

Today my class went to Tokyo University for the Quest Cup.
The Quest Cup is a event from different companies. Every year a Quest is given to the different schools. In does school,  mostly the first years, form teams for the different companies and work on the Quest. Then they have to hold a presentation, those are filmed and probably sent to the organizater. Then the team with the best presentation goes to the Cup and has to compet against the other schools.
Normaly only Kirara, Aya and Kazuki would have gone but we are only six people in class ,and with only three students it wouldn't make much sence. So we all went. It was fun to watch the presentations even so we didn't win.

Yesterday was Valentine's Day so I made chocolate. Chinamon, Orange and normal.

In Japan you give your friends chocolate (giri chocolate) and when you have someone you like or a boyfriend you give him some too (umei chocolate). Only the girls give something in valentine because in Japan they have the White day on March 14th. On white day the boys give some small present to the girl they like, there girlfriend or friend.

Today we went to the open campus at Tokyo university of tecnology in hachoji. It was super. They had a lot of different courses there and everyone had top equipment. They had a cours where they made anime caracters, animated them and a lot more with media. They also had a big stage hall where they learn light, sound and everything else what is important for events. We also visited the engeenier cours and electric cours. They were cool too.
