Several of you have asked questions, here are answers.
Most common question. Where is my bed?
?
You didn't see it? Thats it in the corner!
See it? The pink things folded up there by the window...
It's a real futon mattress. The blankets are in the closet.
Every night, I set up my bed. Every morning, I unset it. :)
Next question!
What have I been eating?
Food!
ok, next question...
:) huh? Oh, more detail than that, I see...
Well first off, I have not used a fork and knife since I left Canada! Yay! Second, I've gotten used to slurping noodles. Third, the tea here is great!
As for what kind of food... Let's see.... It would be impressive if I could remember all if any of the names of them... but generally...
1: Rice EVERY day, with EVERY dinner.
2: Udon noodles. Oh how I love them :D Various flavours.
3: Osoba (soba). Had this once...
4: Sushi. Only had this twice. But dang its good here.
5: Lots of various ways to eat Pork. They do with pork what Canadians do with beef.
6: A decent amount of eggs. And neat things they do here with eggs.... Like putting sugar in them and stuff....
7: Lots of red beans! They are sweet, and like a snack or desert.
8: Lots of mandrine oranges.
9: Lots of vegies.
10: Lots of bread (which is VERY expensive here, but REALLY good)
11: Lots of yogurt.
12: There are many more... of which I don't remember.
13: Nevermind, how could I forget... RAMAN! mmmmmm.
14: Anyways, everybody here has been trying to find things that I CAN'T eat. They have been unsuccessful :D. Apparently, my stomach is Japanese. おなかは日本製です.
I'm sure I've forgotten some questions.... lol, just post them in the comments for this post... I'll answer them asap.

hehe, I knew that pink thing was your bed, and I also hehe'd when I saw it was pink :P
oh yeah, another question about that picture, whats with the legs/boots? They freaked my out the first time I noticed them.....are they for rice patties or something? they look like fishing waders to me...
Yes, I have had nattou and liked it :)
The legs/boots thing is not mine. It's Asako's Dads. I'm actually not sure what they are for.... never asked.
