It was time to properly greet Japan-if she could stay patient while all the other travellers disembarked first. Her long nap, stretched out over the rest of the empty row of seats at the back of the plane, had been just what Lily needed after a sleepless night and an early trip to the airport. Belt on, please, and sit tight-I have to buckle up, too. Her tall, elegant figure and stylish silver bob added an air of chic authority Lily admired. It’s really something-I used to be nervous we wouldn’t make it in. The airport’s on an island, so we’re on approach from the water. Lily sat up straight and tried to shake off the grogginess, leaning over to peer out the window. The flight attendant nudged Lily awake as the seat belt sign flashed on. I really, really wanted a host sister, too! But half a host sister is better than none, right?Īnyway, I’ll be up at 4 AM and off to the airport-so when I post again it’ll be on the layover (unless I livestream the flight?!) and after that, THE LAND OF THE RISING SUN! See you there!Ĭomments (6) | Edit Entry | Tags | Save | Share | 59 ♥ Italy starts school in September, same as Canada, so she’s been there for like seven months already. Too bad my host sister, Moemi, is going to be away for the first half of the exchange. They speak some English, so I won’t be TOTALLY at a loss.
They sent me photos, and we’ve been sending emails for the last two weeks, getting to know each other. If I HAVE to wear a uniform, this is the one!
I never thought I would ever have to wear a school uniform, or actually LIKE it, but seriously, the one at Koen Gakuin ended up being my goal the minute I saw it. I’ve been on the school website and checked out the uniform. Orientation and language training, a great host family who has their own daughter studying abroad right now (Italy!! Freakin awesome) and no monster list of super-strict rules. You wouldn’t believe how much paperwork! My dad looked into a bunch of places, though, so we know this one’s good. It has been SO much work getting this all together. This is my last post from Canada, because I leave super early tomorrow. I guess Japan is the dream for a lot of people, huh? Welcome, all my new followers! I can’t BELIEVE how many people have checked out my blog since I started posting about my trip.
