I forgot to mention that yesterday was the first time I saw the correct lyrics to "Smells Like Teen Spirit." Also, the artist in the Japanese rap video is called RIP SLYME. Awesome name, eh?
The other night we ate Shabu-Shabu, which involves boiling meat, mushrooms, and tofu in a pot of water at the dinner table. Tonight I went to eat japanese pizza, which did not resemble a pizza in many ways except shape but tasted okay. Also ice cream is called soft cream. A little more pleasant.
However, today I got to go rock climbing at a local gym! It was a small wall and we didn't have a rope but I still enjoyed myself. Andee also went, who had never tried climbing before, and seemed to enjoy it. To get into the rock wall we needed someone who was a member of the outdoor club at the gym, so Shoko called a woman who ended up being my third host mom. There are just two people in the family but she seems very nice, and having a membership to a climbing wall can't be bad.
At school I've received a lot of challenges to arm wrestling. So far I'm undefeated with my left arm. I also think I will try kendo as a club activity. But I'll do a little shopping before I choose.
Today I got to see the military remove trash from Tamano in large military vehicles after the Typhoon. And the weather is wonderful.

This sounds all too wonderful. You sound like you're having an incredible time. Oh...stupid question- what do japanese keyboards look like? Do they use keyboards or is all of the figure drawing system you were writing about?
