Host Family

Soooo it finally happened. i got a host family :D.
They are the Yamada family (Most common last name in japan?). Anyway i got a mom,dad,2 brothers one 16 and one 17, and a grandma and grandpa living at home :D. I will be staying in Ishigaki , Okinawa and im going to Yaeyama High school. http://www.city.ishigaki.okinawa.jp/International/Media%20Files/Ishigaki%20City%20Map.pdf If it works thats a map of the city. I cant help but notice a few funny things all in the town. maybe its just me but i find them funny. for one Right next to the school im going to Is a mister donut. because when im hungry for a donut i want to be constantly reminded of school as i eat it :). Oh and dont forget The Goat cuisine rest stop. for all of you who need to take a quick break and you know... eat a goat :D. the vanilla deli ... something about that just cracks me up :D. next on the list is they have their own bull fighting ring oh man this city has it all. goat rest stops, bull fighting, 6 hot spars because you cant have just 2, Glass land (personally my favorite amusment park), and last but not least it own vanilla deli. thats right people while your shopping at the 6 hot spars you can go on down to glass land to have a bit of fun on some broken glass rides, then get on down for a quick rest at the goat cuisine rest stop and finish off the day with a vanilla flavored steak. I dont mean to make fun of the place just some funny sounding areas i look forward to visiting while im there :).
I am really happy. For one thing Okinawa is suposed to be extreamly beautiful with amazing beaches :D. also something i didnt really think about till later today was that since it is at the bottom of japan i will be getting the full japanese experience. since it is far from the capital it is (and im just assuming this) going to be more... japanese and wont have as many big stores and everything. i thought that would suck at first but then after thinking about it its pretty big advantage as that would most likely have been a huge distraction.
I know as much about the place as i do about how my rooms floor looks like (anyone who has seen my room will understand that). But from the little i could figure out from web sites and things the city looks like a very nice place to be. i tried to find out something about the school but with No success. Im going to keep looking but if anyone can help me out feel free to. you know unless im already there.
Anyway i Leave in about 5 days not counting today. or yes counting to day. to be honest i have no idea what day it is right now im way too tired but i want to watch this rock docs on iron maiden so im not going to sleep anytime soon. Going off topic here a bit (UNDERSTATEMENT)
a pringles commercial just came on with the song we've got the funk and i just cant help but notice that the distinct smell of cat poop just wafted into my room :(.

Anyway There probably wont be another real post untill after im actually there. I cant say these posts have been really intersting for anyone out there or really funny. but I Know within the next ohhh 7 days they will start to be come either awesome or Funny as hell >:D.
