Today, I went to Dog Park Satte with my host family and their puppy, Koyuuki. Before hand, my host mother taught me how to take the bus to the Kita-Koshigaya eki (you pay after you arrive at your destination!), then she brought to my attention a clothing shop called Marche, the 100 YEN shop where I bought a laptop case for 525 yen or approximately 4.83 USD, a bento box for my lunches, some girly stuff, and a pencil case for 1,050 yen total. I’m in rabu (love).

Also at Marche, I found these very nifty diy ear piercing kits that cost about 1000 yen each but then I found a magentic earring converter for non pierced ears for 100 yen.

I met another homestay student in my area and we marveled over the immense amount of kawaii all over the place. Then our respective host sisters coaxed us into doing purikura which is stupid amounts of fun as it is an interactive photobooth that you can decorate with all sorts of art and what not.The girls went wild, and I had a lot of fun too.

Tomorrow is my first day of classes. Oy.

And so it begins…
