Yoshio and Tamiko came over to our apartment on Wednesday. We all hurried to clean up the apartment, and put away all of our school shrapnel. One of the many nice things about a small house, is that it takes a very short amount of time to clean.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We talked for a long time, particularly about our school work. Aunt Tamiko is very interested in our homeschooling system. We also showed them pictures of things we kids like to do. Mom showed them pictures of Elias’ Eagle Scout project, and pictures of my past shows. They were very interested, and we had a great time together! We are going to have lunch with them and Nozomi’s family on Saturday.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thursday Mom made Elias’ edible love letter, spaghetti! Mom makes INCREDIBLE homemade spaghetti sauce! We all enjoyed a taste of home, eaten with chopsticks.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thursday evening we took the train to Hon-Atsugi, to try out a free, weekly Japanese class. We got there early, so we stopped to have dinner nearby. Bayus says, “I squish your head!”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The sunset was lovely.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Japanese teacher was very kind, and we laughed a lot. We are definitely beginners!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Japanese class was held in a kind of mall, and we enjoyed some window shopping after class.\u00a0Mom found an amazing craft store, with adorable fabrics that were (of course) different prints than we’ve ever seen at our local stores. Mom and I did a lot of squealing \ud83d\ude1b Dawn B., we will look for Sashiko fabric next class.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There was also an entire section for making kimonos! It had two walls devoted to the special fabrics, a display for the flower decals, and a section for all of the accessories. It was super cool!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

They also had a section devoted to needle felting!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I found a second hand store, and found this gorgeous jacket for only twelve dollars! It was very plastic however, and therefore just the slightest bit to small. I am now on the look out for a cute, brown, leather jacket.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Oh yeah, one other thing happened on Thursday… an earthquake! It was a very small earthquake, and no one was hurt, so it was pretty cool. I was sitting on our makeshift couch, doing school, when I noticed I was sliding back and forth. I have apparently been a part of many earthquakes, but I did not feel any of them, so this was my first earthquake. It was really exciting, and then Mom told us she wanted us to watch some earthquake videos on Brain Pop. That brought our excitement down a little bit.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ok, sayonara my friends!<\/p>\n
