Osaka day 2

Hey sup, well my parents and took the bus to Umeda station and we all decided to take a tour of our campus! But on the way, well... we got lost! I felt that my years of japanese were well.. well when I finally came to Japan my japanese felt soo limited I was shocked and I didn't get extreme culture shock either considering that I've been here which kind of suprised me because the first step of culture shock is the honeymoon and let's just say that I passed the honeymoon stage. Remember when I said something regarding to japanese fashion in the past well I take that back!! Well, their fashion is pretty fierce I love the way they dress I must of been in a bad corner or something! Other than, that even though we were lost a little bit I was able to communicate out of the situation heheh me and my skillz. Oh earlier, we were at the bus stop and of course we got on the bus, but there is this one stare we got in Japan. It's not a "I'm staring right at you" stare it's more a stare at you behind you back type of thing. For example, the min. May got off the bus and spoke to one of the bus attendants I swear it was like the whole bus was looking at her. It was the funniest thing I've ever seen. Makes me wonder esp. when I'm going places! Other than that, we got to our destination Kwansei Gakuin after taking the bus and getting lost I must say the campus is interesting and kind of interesting. While we were walking on campus we saw this japanese guy in dreadlocks my dad was really suprised where as me not so much due to the fact that I've seen japanese men in doo rags and stuff oh and cornrows lol! But other than that, dad got the feel of the campus and my school KGU has a football team which is pretty nice so I'll definatly hit that up. Yes, a japanese university has a football team. I can't wait to see that! After that, we took the bus and the train got lost a little bit of course but we were safe and sound! One thing that made me happy was the fact that dad was pretty comfortable with the environment. He actually likes Osaka and thought the city was pretty friendly. Overall, we checked out the store. I got this nice yellow jacket for 490 yen which is $5 it was nice! I definatly want to start doing as the romans do and dress a more fashionable. Well, after that the next day we packed and boarded the train. May was concerned that I might get lost she was like "What if they can't find you?!" I was like are you serious!! Oh wow, they're going to miss 2 black people and 1 philipina in a sea full of japanese people! I just had to laugh at that. We also got a gift for my host family. I just bought them american candies that's about it you can never go wrong with food and they liked it which was pretty neat! My host mom can speak a little bit of english, but just a little bit that's it! It was wierd because I thought I was going to be shy but I ended up talking a lot and became really outgoing. I was like yes I'm not shy! wooo But other than that I've noticed that Usher seems kinda popular hear because in the shops they were listening to his songs esp. in the subway. It's crazy and wierd to see how our stars american stars are celebrities overseas. Wow, that's pretty neat. Other than that, after my parents left I was speaking to my host mom and I told her that I was in a relationship but instead of saying relationship I said nikutai kankei= sexual relationship.. so when I said that she gave me this wierd look like "eey" and I was like oops oh snap I meant relationship. But yea, I didn't mean to say that..Then I was talking to my little host sister Midori and I asked her Do you like middle school?! Because I didn't kids in middle school are mean! but instead it came out to be Do you like china?! I don't because chinese people are mean and she gave me the strangest look but yea i said chuugoku instead of chuugako yea I know wierd huh how it can mean something so different. Other than that, tommorow I have school I met this one student who was taking the Primary japanese course too and her japanese was really good. I mean really good so I didn't feel to bad but at the same time I'm thinking did she do that on purpose to get here earlier because if so wow... hmm smart but she was pretty nice though! Well, anyways I'm chilling at the apartment and I will take pics. oh and the host family's dog mom peed on the bed.... ewww hahha and I saw that when I first got to my room eww but other than that tommorow is my first day of school so wish me luck peace! and i will keep u informed
