I don't have enough time to write much today which is probably a good thing because I don't have any news to report. Luckily I'm headed over to my friend Miki's house (remember the BBQ and Bowling??) because my host-parents are going to some event out of town. I get to meet her family and we'll hang out all day tomorrow. Should be fun, apparently they own a barber shop. Who knows, maybe I'll get carried away and dye my hair black and finally blend in! Oh wait, I forgot I'm about a foot taller than most people here. (No really, one of my friends in cooking class figured it out, she's 4 foot 8 inches. I laughed when I realized that she was only a little shorter than almost everyone else:)

Thanks for the comments to keep truckin'. I'm hoping something will kick in here soon and I'll really begin to start grasping this culture and language. Won't be able to write tomorrow either, sorry.
