First day of school

For my first day of school we woke up at 6:30am and got into our school uniforms, ate breakfast and headed out the door. We took the train to school. When we got there (host sister and I) we went to separate places and I went to the teachers office to do an introduction into a mic. After there was a big ceremony and I said the same speech (in Japanese) and then in English! Then we went to classrooms and talked a bit- I made a lot of new friends! A lot of students would stare at me and then as soon as I turned my head they would scream ‘Kawaii! Kawaii!’ Which means ‘cute’ in Japanese..😂💓 After school I went shopping in Kyoto and to a chocolate shop with three friends and we all had a great time:) 

Unfortunately I couldn’t meet my friend, Rion, who goes to KGN (my school in Japan, and also went to Belmont Secondary school (my high school in Canada-how we met) because of the recent typhoon stopping trains from going on their usual routes. I will see her next week though and am excited 😊
