When we arrived at Keiai (elementary), we were greeted by teachers and a bunch of screaming kids (they were screaming "Aloha"). It's so cool that the school's so clean. They give you slippers to wear before you go in. Chris here, I enjoyed all the activities that they had planned for us there. My favorite one was the Sumo game. They would write numbers on a paper Sumo's and chop sticks. You would start off by picking a chop stick blindly. You would then look at what number you have and to the sumo with the corresponding number. Then two people tap the table till one of the sumo's fall down or pass the red circle. Back to Alice, yeah, that game was really fun! I kept on winning with a little sumo. My favorite activity was the tea ceremony, because the Japanese tea cake was really good. Back to Chris, the tea ceremony was fun, but my legs hurt after it. We had to sit Zeiza the whole time. After we left the Keiai, we continued to the middle school. There we met our home stays. Alice here again, so yeah, when we met them, we went to eat curry for lunch; it was pretty good. During lunch, Brandon found out he forgot his wallet at the elementary school, which had all his money. After that, he drank Chris' water. Chris again, currently, Alice and I are waiting for our host student to finish their classes. Everyone else left because their junior high students. We are paired up with high school students. Ok! We're done now. We would like to shout out to all the HMS families. We hope to see you soon! See ya!
Alice, Chris T.
