Well, you guys asked what kind of cars my homestay family drives, so here they are! On the top is my homestay mother, Kyoko's car. It's a Volkswagon Polo. On the bottom is my homestay father, Kenichi's car. It's a Audi A6 ( I think!) These are not pictures I took, but found on the internet after learning what the names of the cars were. It seems that everyone drives new cars here...it doesn't matter how wealthy you are, you still drive a nice car.
Today Hanna and I spent the day with the boys. (Kenichi and Hiroki. ;) Kyoko had to be out all day for something buisness related, and Yuka stayed home and (hopefully) practiced. They took us to a Ramen place for lunch (which I'll talk about in a minute) and then we went to a movie.
Okay, so at this Ramen restaurant, they serve huge bowls of Ramen noodles with various flavors of broth and toppings. When you eat this, you pretty much get a steam bath for your face too. ;) Often times it can be really spicy! So guess what they have on the table? Tissues. :) Because your nose is sure to run if you eat those spicy/hot noodles. Some guys in there where eating away and their faces were starting to get sweaty...haha. When they serve it to you, they give you a giant ladle like thing to drink the broth with, and then you eat the noodles with chopsticks. Quite an experience, I'll tell you that. ;)
I heard there was an earthquake the other day in Kentucky! Anyone care to inform me?

That sounds like so much fun! I'm glad you like spicy!
Matthias says he felt his bed shake, but everyone else slept through it. :D I wish we had a Ramen restaurant here! :P
Evelyn and Anna hve really enjoyed your blog. We hope the concert went well and do have a safe trip home!
The earthquake was exciting. I was making breakfast and the girls thought I was in their room shaking their beds to wake them!
No damage thought!
Safe home,
