Today I woke up at 3 to watch the girls’ soccer match. It was Japan vs. USA. My host dad and I decided to wake up early to watch the big game. I was cheering for USA while he was supporting Japan. The game started at around 3:55 am and my host mom and sister, Mai, came down to watch it. I was surprised when Mai came down, since I would never expected her to wake up so early. When the game was over and USA had lost we all went back to sleep. I woke up again at 11:30 am. I was told by my host dad that today we would be going to a hot spring. I had wanted to try the hot springs in Japan since the first day! We went to eat lunch. I had rice and fried pork, after we went to the hot springs. In the hot springs you would have to go fully naked. In America this would be very odd but since I was in Japan I learned that Japanese people look past this and enjoy the nice spring water. Most of the water was very hot, but since it was raining outside I would occasionally take brakes to sit in the outdoors. It rained heavily since a typhoon was coming towards Japan. After the hot springs we had to take Mai to Japanese school. We brought her a quick snack at Mister Donut. This was Japan’s fast food doughnut store. Afterwards we arrived home and I helped my mom make dinner. At 8:20 Mai came back home from school and dinner was all prepared! I asked my host mom if I can try natto, it had a very bitter taste and was very sticky. Overall I enjoyed to entire day! I finally got to experience a hot spring and I enjoyed spending the day with my host family!
