It was very cold this morning. That’s why the host mother made us hot cocoa. Today, I took math, Japanese, geography, art, and English classes with my buddy at school. I taught a little Japanese in Japanese class. I was worried about whether I could tell everyone the correct answer, but I was happy because I made a lot of friends. After school, the host mother gave us cupcakes with flower-shaped cream. We got in the car while eating it and went shopping. We went to a very large Indian supermarket. Inside, there were amazing decorations that I had never seen before, many ingredients, spices, sweets, etc., and it was interesting. Then we went to another store, and the host family bought us New Zealand goods. After shopping, we went to my host father’s cousin’s house. At that house, I got a lot of chicken and duck favorite bread. We got enough to fill the car with a full tank. And I was actually going to feed it, but it rained heavily and I couldn’t. I had butter chicken curry and naan for dinner. It was very spicy, but it was very delicious with a taste I had never eaten before. After dinner, I made original ice cream with the host’s father and the host’s mother. Put ice cream on the cone. And I put on the chocolate muffin that I couldn’t eat for lunch. I thought the host mother was weird, but she helped me make it. It was delicious.

Today at school, I had a cooking class. I thought it was amazing that we cooked everything by ourselves from start to finish. During the break, we ate what we had made. After school, I went with my host sister to her training. I was surprised because they were practicing on a very big field. Everyone looked like they were having fun. I thought New Zealand felt very refreshing.

Today, I took biology, Maori, English, maths and art classes. I could talk to my buddy more than I did yesterday. I ate hamburger tonight. It is so delicious. Dad took some photos. Tomorrow it will be cold so I want to warm myself up tonight.

Today at school, I had a class with a partner student. In math class, we were doing factorization. It was a good review. After school, we had snacks made by my host mother. The cookies were a little hard, but they were delicious, so I had seconds. While we were eating snacks, my host mother said it was okay to play whatever music I wanted, so my friend asked Alexa to play some music, but it was playing a completely different radio station. It was interesting because it didn’t play at all, even though they tried many times.

I could see reinbow in the morning so I was happy. I joined classes with my buddy. I talked about my school and season. After school, I prepared for tomorrow. I’m looking forward to tomorrow.

I went to Hamilton Girls High School. I took classes social studies, English, computer, French and science. My buddy’s friend has an art class, so I went to the art room. Her pictures were very well. Also, I drew sheep picture. It was so fun!

I gave a presentation on Japanese culture, and I was really happy because everyone who joined was smiling. However, for some reason, today’s class left me very tired. What I realized from taking the classes is that accounting is definitely the one I dislike the most (lol).

Today, I took an English class after the homeroom was over in the morning. Unlike Japanese English classes, it was a class like Japanese language. Buddy taught me English that I can use on a daily basis. After that, the second period was over, and we took snacks at tea time and ate Japanese snacks together. After returning home, I had a pizza as a host family. I had a good day.

I had a lot of fun today and a great time talking with my buddy. Talk about what happened at school. The third period we had technology class. My Buddy taught me a lot of things. Nevertheless, I couldn’t operate it well. It was really difficult. Therefore the diagram I made was chaotic. My Buddy and friend were laughing. I also found it interesting.

Today I talked a lot with my buddy. When I didn’t understand, my buddy used a translator, so the conversation went well and it was fun. At lunch, the school gave out some sausages. I got one and ate it with my buddy. It felt like an overseas sausage, and it was tasty.
