DJ Debut

Finally, pictures of my family. Then first photo is my host mother, whom I call mama, and my host sister Yoshiko. The next picture is Yoshiko, my other host sister Reiko, me, and my host brother's girlfriend. If you haven't noticed, men don't really participate in family domestic activities, such as cleaning up after dinner, which is what we were doing. We had a big fancy meal that night, at 10:30, because my family has a tendency to eat super late in the evening. We had expensive crab, and I got to have an authentic Japanese experience, drinking hot sake out of a crab shell. I will admit that hot sake with bits of crab floating around in it is not the most delicious thing I have ever had. In fact I will avoid that experience if possible from now on. The other night I went out to dinner with my sisters and a girl who was their host kid about 5 years ago. She still lives in Japan, but is from Miami, and was very sweet and told me I could think of her as a sister too. The picture at the bottom is us at a little bar/resturant where they have DJs and music. Reiko wants to learn to be a DJ, and was I suppose friends with the DJ that night, so we all go to listen to the music on the DJ headphones and watch him play with the records and knobs and buttons. Reiko called it my DJ debut... She is very silly. Well I have a test now, blog later this week hopefully about Fushimi Inari.
