Harbour Cruise(8/14/08)

Today, a bus did not come on time, so Yuka and I were twenty minutes late to school.
Today’s class was how to say “Yes”, “Uh huh”, “OK”, “That’s lovely”, and “Great”. We learned intonation. Japanese has a few intonations, but English must use intonations. Second class was about New Zealand. During the class, it was a hail of bullets, so I thought that we can not ride on the Harbour Cruise. But!! I was a lucky girl!! Because the sky finally cleaned!!
After lunch, we could ride on the Harbour Cruise!! We could look beautiful scenery from the sea. It was very windy afternoon, but we had a good time on the sea for an hour and half.
After the cruise, I went to shopping with Yuka, Shioriand Natsuki. We visited some shops, but I did not buy anything. We came back from downtown to Mt Albert by train.
Today’s dinner was curry and rice, it was so spicy, and it was not so good for me. I want to eat Japanese rice!!!

Sunday(8/10/08)

Today I got up at 12 p.m., and watched TV for about one hour. My host mother got up at 1 a.m., and we ate a chicken burger and French fries for brunch. After brunch, host mother asked me, “Do you want to go watching host father’s rugby team?” But I felt a little bit tired, so I did not go with her. I watched TV, cleaning my room, studying English, and I wrote to my parents. I had a full day.

Long flight(8/2/08)

I got up at 4 a.m. in the morning, and prepared. I ate miso soup and rice for breakfast, because I will be not able to eat Japanese food in New Zealand for one month. At 5:45 a.m., I went to school. At 6 a.m. we went to Fukuoka airport. About two hours later, we arrive there. At 10 a.m. we started to Singapore. For five hours later, we arrive at Singapore airport. I had to stay there for long time, so I was tire. The time difference between Japan and Singapore is 4 hours. After that resource, we started from Singapore for New Zealand. It was take for eight hours. That long fright was so tire for me.

I'm very busy

Today, I came back my home from my family house. I will go to New Zealand tomorrow, and I will stay in New Zealand for about one month, so I prepared for trip. First, I went to shopping with a friend. Second, we went to the garrison to meet a girl who is a Self Defense Forces. After then, we went to a restaurant for dinner. We ate grilled meat. It was very delicious!! After dinner, we went back home.
The day night, my parents came my home, and they helped my preparation for trip. Packing was very hard work. I had to sleep early, but I could not sleep well, because I was so exciting!! I want to arrive in New Zealand soon!! Bey~!!
