Ben Bullins is Back.

So I get picked up by my host sister in my host families Honda Fit. We then ate a fast food restaurant which we both got really messy burgers but I was the only one to make a mess. Then we went in to a store and took photos in a photo booth yikes I look crazy after they put those effects on.
On the way home I noticed that Hiroka my host sister was wearing a gold band on her left hand. I asked her if she was getting married she said no that it was a birthday present from her boy friend of 8 months.
All the Japanese couples also have phone charms that match their boyfriend my gift for Trevor when I get home.
She also said that her boyfriend use to be fat and showed me a funny picture but now he is pretty cute and can speak English. They are both going to school to become dental hygienists. Hiroka has had her braces on for 4 years sounds like her teeth were pretty bucked up.
When we get home I unpacked in my own room that they apologized for being so small. Which it is small but it doesn't matter. When my host mom got home we went over the house rules.
1.   clean up the bath room if you are the last person
          every night we have to take a shower and I have been first both times but the first time I had hair everywhere so I tried to clean it up so the last person didn't have to but I got in trouble for doing that.
2. 1st floor is cleaned everyday and 2nd is cleaned twice a week
   I said that I would clean my own room
3. They wash clothes every day the ones from the day before get put in the wash right as you get out of the shower and the my host mother washes the in the morning.
4. Trash there is a strict law in Japan that you have to sort your trash but there are like 5 different categories
So anyways that that was pretty difficult to get through to me.
 They speak alot of english to me but it is hard for them to really exepress anything but I think that I could understand better if they used japanese cause alot of the stuff they are trying to say I know in japanese.
Like we went to Costco and my host mother was talking about Lunch but she kept saying Ranch and I was so confused!
probably the weirdest things that I have seen have to do with the dog. First they feed it fruits and veggies plus dog food i think but more salad than anything. It is pretty well trained but it is still crazy! An then when it poops is stands on this plastic thing and turns it but around and they catch its poop in a piece of paper and take it to the toilet to flush it down yuck!!! Oh and every single time we come home timo has chewed up something he never fells.
last night we went bowling with the papa too it was really fun then we took pictures in the photobooth and it was really fun. My host father is kinda big so jet be careful if you buy him something.
my host father is always working but he is fun he is on a business trip all week. Him and my host mom dont sleep in the same room.
If you have any other questions ask cause I will be able to get online during the week but not on the weekend only if we plan it.
love you guys
oh and the food is not getting better cause it is always cold nothing is ever warm unless we go out which we have twice my host mother hasnt made anything for dinner yet.
we went to and Italian no Bali restaurant they werent sure but it didnt seem like either to my and there were 3 small course the last had ketchup rice it actually wasnt to bad.
