Armageddon



 We woke up at 10 o'clock. Then, we ate breakfast. After that, I watched a DVD called ARMAGEDDON. I cried at the end of story. I was thinking that everyone will die. I came back to the house at 7 o'clock. I lost my way and wandered into a strange place. I head about the way to the university from several people. I arrived home. I was relieved. Over dinner, I spoke about ARMAGEDDON. I found out that Andy loves the DVD.

Rie's house


 After school, I went to Rie's house because my host family went to a party. I have to stay at Rie's house. For dinner, we ate lasagne. It was delicious and it was smelt nice. In Japan, we use penne but in the UK, they use  a wide dough. I thought that it was different things. Moreover, in the UK, people don't put dressing on a salad. I was very surprised it. After the meal, I saw a DVD of Disney but I became sleepy so I went to bed 10 o'clock.

Japanese culture



  We went to a primary school. It was built of beautiful bricks so I thought that it was fashionable. The very cute children were playing when we arrived at the school. The first, we showed them how to make a paper crane. They made beautiful cranes. They were very clever.Then,they were learning about sushi and green tea from Ai's host mother. I was surprised that they were using chopsticks skillfully. After that, they drank a green tea. I was happy that the girl loved the green tea. Then,they ate sushi and i ate it. It was delicious though I was thinking it tasted different in Japan.
  
  I was thinking not very good things about Japanese culture when I'm living in japan not I'm abroad I think wonderful things about Japanese culture.I was studying wold history when I was a high school student because I wasn't interested in Japanese history but I want to study Japanese history and Culture in the future. I'm going to take lessons in the tea ceremony,flower arrangement and how to put on a kimono preperly at Koryo college. I am looking forward to studying it.
