SAORI & HYUN-SIL

Thina & Mika & Hyun-sil & Saori

I got up early in the morning.

I ate breakfast, then I watched TV.

Yesterday Hyun-sil invited me to go to Downtown with her friend and her friend's Japanese friend.

Bill drove us to there and we met them.

Thina is Korean. Mika is Japanese.

Mika and Thina is roommate in their house.

Mika is 18 years old, so at first I thought she is same grade.

But she was a high school student.

We were surprised!

Then we were talking about the same and different things of Korean and Japanese culture.

I knew many new information.

We wanted to hang out more time, but I have to go back America and Mika also go back Japan.

We were sad,but I told Mika my address.

We were nice talking in English.

After we went back home, I and Hyun-Sil wrote a letter for each other.

We are food friends(^_-)-☆

Then I watched movie with host family.

It was a good movie!! I was almost crying...

Cindy,housemother, likes making something.

She gave me a present.

It is a photo diary. I 'm so happy!!

I thought I'm glad to meet this family☆

I really like this family and I want to stay longer!!!

I will miss this family after I leave the house.

I had a wonderful time with the family in Victoria, Canada.

Homestay in Victoria 4th day (12/26), After the Christmas☆

After the Christmas, today was a boxing day!!!
Do you know this day!?

Many shops are on sale! So many people went shopping!!

I went to Soppping Moll with Hyun-Sil.
We also went to Cindy's working shop to give some breakfast♪♪

Then we went to "future shop", electricity shop.
There were too many people in the shop.
I bought a memory card. Hyun-Sil bought music player, not i-pod.

Then we went to big Shopping moll to meet her friends, Nicole and Thika?.
I bought a hat and a daily note.
It cost about 10 dollars!!

And I met Japanese friends, Abu, Junko, Mayu.
I felt strange to speak Japanese because I have been speaking English everyday!!!

At night I played a video game with Jeffry. I won sometimes.

After Jeff, Jinda and Jaime went back home, I, Bill, Cindy and Hyun-Sil watched movie, Star Dust☆★
It a good movie, I think.

It's very fast to pass the time.
I 'm having really good time in Victoria☆


I thought to go back Japan today.
I don't want to go back Japan because I really like here and America, EWU!!! And now.

Now we can meet everywhere, talk any time, and hang out everyday with friends!!
And I can speak English every day!!

I think NOW is the best time in my life!!!

I want to keep this time.

Homestay Secound Day (2日目)

Host father guided me the downtown.
we went to a harbor, a bank to get my Canadian money, the oldest hotel in Victoria and shopping moll.

Victoria is cool and beautiful place, I think!
But I can't understand the bus route from downtown to my house.
I need to memorise this!!

Then I went to The Butchant Gardens in the evening.
I went to there with Korean friends.

We met at downtown on 3:30.
We wanted to catch the bus about 4:00, but we missed the bus!!
So we went back to the McDonald's and Chapters (book store).

We caught the bus about 5:00.

The Butchant Gardens's illumination was so beautiful!!
I took many beautiful pictures☆
I also took the picture with Huun-sil!!

We had a good time!!

During we were going back our house, she was feeling bad.
I was worried about her.
But we could catch the bus quickly.

At night I watched movie, Harry potter and order of the phoenix with host father☆
During the movie, he was sleeping...and I was so sleepy because I was really tired(；一_一)

Today I went to many places and watched beautiful things.
It was nice day♪♪

I was sleepy and tired today... But I effort to talk a lot in English!!

A Limousine Tour☆

❤A Limousine with friends❤

I rode a limousine for the first time☆ We watched Christmas illumination of American house.

A limousine has a large space and many glasses.

We are 20 members. The limousine can sit just 20 people.

Before we rode, we ate Japanese food at Sushi.com, Japanese restaurant

The limo parked in front of the restaurant.
And the limo tour started☆
We dressed up and took many pictures.

I didn't have dress, I borrowed my friend's.

I decided just before the day.

At first I was thinking to go, but reached the fixed number.

I always said I wanted to go!!!

Just before the day, when I was eating at the dinner with my friends, a IPA asked me going the limo tour.

Then I and my friends could go the tour because 2 people canceled the tour.

I and my friend were so glad!! I'm lucky person!!

We talked and took picture. My feeling was gorgeous!!

Everyone looked funny!!

I think I can't ride the limousine in future.

It is a good memory in America☆★

America can grant many kinds of dreams!!!

My Penpal☆

We went to elementary school to meet each pen pal.

My pen pal names are Jaimee and Ashley☆
But Ashley was absent, so I played with Jaimee!!

She is a little shy. She can play Violin. I watched her music class. About 15 people were playing Violin and Viola.

It was exciting class.


I gave her a small present, bookmark.
I changed her name to Kanji.

Jaimee was difficult, but I like her Kanji.

They also gave me very nice present.
Jaimee gave me a pretty dog doll♪♪
Ashley gave me a nice blanket❤

Every students are pretty and active!!

I had a good time with her in elementary school☆

HarryPotter and The sorcerer's stone

I bought HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER'S STONE.

I love Harry potter, but I have never read the books.

Today I bought the first book because I thought I want to read the book and long sentence like TOEIC quickly!!

I thought Harry Potter is the best book that I read(^O^)／

SnowWind＼(゜ロ＼)(／ロ゜)／

It's cold today. Everyday it is snowy, but today is also windy. I wouldn't go outside.

I will make spaghetti with Taraka sauce, wafuu kinako sauce and tomato sauce for dinner in my dormitory ♪♪
