Basically I didn’t want to continue my blog with this, but
the faith wanted so. Last week, on the 4th of December, I received the e-mail
that they found me the host family.
( Note: The AFS exchange students spend their year with host
families. This in fact means a new sibling or a new child. I’ll be a similar
child, too. :D )
My family is the Matsumoto family. My hostfather name’s is
Shouchi Matsumoto, my hostmother is Chizuko Matsumoto. I’ll have three
siblings, Yuu, who is 25 years old, Tsubasa, who is 22 years old and Haruki,
who is 18 years old. Possibly not all of them lives with the parents.
Of course, after I had have recieved the news, I was like a
dog with two tails. I looked up my city in Google Maps. My family lives in the western
part of Japan (as the picture shows) in Shimane prefecture, in a small highlands city… or village, I couldn’t decide really. The settlement is
Kamihonjocho and is near to the Sea of Japan (yahooo!) and on the other side a
large lake is situated. The local cuisine of this territory is extremely
delicious – as I’ve heard from Masaomi, who is a Japanese exchange student in
Hungary now. This is another „yahooo!”,
because if you know me, you also know that I like to eat. :)
So far I haven’t get in touch with them and I’ve started to
feel remorse. But I would like to write them in Japanese in any case and I
still need time for this. And I’m in the lack of that… Well, in the weekend
perhabs!
By the way there are only 98 days left and spiritually I am
preparing… But until that a lot of things awaits to be done here, and I’ll need
to write some posts as well.
Till then, good bye!
