Hi Friends! I’m Hana.
I started writing a report in English for studying English! There might be some weird expressions, but please suck it up!
First I could come back to japan safely. Thank you all for supporting me and giving me lots of happiness.
I was so excited to see my family and my friends in japan cuz I’ve not seen them for a long long time. I didn’t even keep in touch with them. First night when I came back from the US, I couldn’t speak in japanese. So I spoke English and they talked to me back in Japanese. My little sister, Momo couldn’t understand what I said so my mom translated for her at dinner. After we had dinner, I opened up three suitcases. My Japanese family was so surprised that I got most of clothes from Paige. When they saw my body works, they went “Omg. I wanna this”. They were so excited to see what I got in the US.
Then I called my host family to tell them I arrived at home. When I talked with them, I was so happy to talk with them cuz I didn’t see them a long time.
After I had a video call, I realized that I left there for Japan. Like it was so weird. I felt they are far away. This is true but I actually felt it.I can’t see them in person soon. We’ll be fine cuz we can often have a video call. But there are big time differences and they and we gonna be busy. I’m not with my host family any more. I was so sad and I’ve missed them a lot. I was not sure that I can do this. First night I stayed up late.
School
My high school is really near to the ocean. I can see it from classroom. It’s rare to have such schools in Japan. I go to the station by bike, and take a train, then change another one. This one runs along the ocean so the view is awesome! I go to this high school for three years.
My high school had school festival so I started going to school like 4 days later when I flew back. I went school on Monday to see my home room teacher. I told some of you, but I’ll tell you again. So I’m going back to same grade for studying for college. Which means I’ll be in the class which are students are younger than me. So I’ve never seen them and my old classmates will be older grade. I made this decision cuz I thought I should spend time to study and it’s gonna be fun to go to school which is near to the beach for three years. I also thought I can make a lot of friends.
After I talked with them, I saw my old friends who I used to have same class together. When I saw them, they jumped up at me and we screamed cuz we didn’t see each other for a while. We didn’t even keep in touch while I stayed in the US.They were surprised that I could speak Japanese. They thought I forgot Japanese. I regretted it. I definitely should talk to them in English!!
On Tuesday I went to new class. I went to school early in the morning just in case. There were few people studying. So I asked them my seat. They told me and went back to study. It was kinda awkward. When everyone was in the class, my teacher asked me to introduce myself. So I did in English. When it’s over it was so quiet then everyone said “Wowwww I didn’t understand what she said!!!” So I was like this is me, a foreign exchange student lol!!
I made new friends. But they are different from my friends in the US. My friends in my class care their bangs. I don’t even have one tho. They never talk about cursed words. I used to say a lot in the US...lol I think my basketball team remember that. When I have lunch with them, they asked me some questions about the US. It’s so fun to share with them.
School is so hard. I have a lot of homework every day. We have quiz every class so I need to study for it as well. We have big tests after summer vacation in every class. So we can’t just be lazy and hang out with my friends in the summer. I gotta study in the summer which SUCKS!! Guys, it is different “your summer “and “my summer “ But it’s alright cuz I like being busy and I’ll do some fun stuffs in the summer anyway lol.
On the weekend, my school had school festival. We wore original t shirts and sold Japanese snacks. After school festival, I went to the beach with my classmates and hang out together. It was really fun.
Japanese people
I feel Japanese people are really different from American people.It’s just my opinion, and that’s not about everyone. But I feel there are a lot of people have serious and careful personality. For example, we still wear face masks here. We don’t often say jokes. We have a lot of rules in public, and home. For example, there are many recycling rules for trash.
I also feel American people are very good at expressing feelings. When I talk with them I realized that many people talk with using hand gestures, reaction and so on. I got used to do these, so sometimes I’m not sure that my family or friends are really happy even if they are cuz I can’t tell.
There are many students aren’t willing to do first at Japanese school. We decided a leader of dodgeball other day but nobody wanna be it. Then I said “Ok I will do that !” So I’m a leader and also first runner of class relay.(Nobody wanna be this either so I did.)
My Japanese family was so interested in everything in the US. I mean not only my family, my friends, teachers at school, people read my report about my lifestyle in the US. So I wanna tell them as much as I can, there are a lot of things and Idk what I should start from!! Even small things, we are so surprised cuz it’s different from ours. I will show them the pics I took, or like I can make American food by using the special recipe my American mom made for me!!!
My older sis, Yui always goes “When do you make Whoppie pies?! I wanna have them soon!”. So I gotta make. And my favorite dishes!!
If you have any suggestions, just text me and lmk!!
On the weekend
I saw my friends at junior high school other day. They held on karaoke party for me. They prepared Japanese food for me and tell my good friends. We talked and sang a lot. When I sang up town funk by Bruno, everyone sang together but after that they got quiet. So It was kinda awkward. But I enjoyed a lot!!
These days, I often go to the beach on the weekend. Even though I go there every day for school, it’s not enough for me. I just take pics and post on the Instagram, or swim in the ocean. You must be jealous of me cuz I can go there whenever I want:) I can share pics with you!
I am getting used to lifestyle here, but I am missing EVERYTHING in the US sm. I wish I could come back there. I saw my friend’s instagram and they look like having fun at the vacation, I was jealous. I already had a video call with my host family and friends in the US. I talked like 2 hrs with one of my friends lol. I have more things to tell you. And I wanna know over there as well.
I’m scared to lose my English skills what I got in the US. I try to use English, but there are only few chances to use it in Japan. So if you have free time, I’d love to have a video call!!
Anyways I’ll see you soon:)
