March:
This month started off with me leaving the Ichikawa family which was super sad beans, they are seriously kind people and i miss them very much. Just before i left they took me to the Nabanano sato illumenation festival, which is this big light show that they put on every year. They had shown the lights onto the Ume (plum) blossom trees making them look really beautiful, almost like fireworks. I also celebrated the girls dolls festival with them, i have my own set of little dolls that i was given in Gifu prefecture by one of the Rotary clubs there.
My new host family is really nice and i am enjoying my stay here in Suzuka where they live. I have now started the spring holidays, on the first day of the holidays i went to Nagoya with some of the exchange students from my district as well as those in Nagoya. We went to the Sakae shopping district, taking the subway to get there. It was my first time ever on a subway and maybe riding it in the middle of rush hour wasn't the best idea. Sardines in a can comes to mind.
I went back to stay the weekend with my old host family, it was great seeing them again after two weeks. I also took the train to Tsu city to see the Mie prefectual art museum, it was quite exciting, they keep a Monet and Picaso there. Getting to see them in real life was amazing.
As April starts the cherry blossoms are supposed to start this week, i'm really looking forward to seeing them.
