As you may have guessed from the title of this post, today there was an earthquake, a level 2 where I live, but a level 3 where my friend lives, and a level 4 in another part of Japan.
It was nothing serious, just a bit of rumbling and the house shaking, the earthquakes are pretty weak/rare here in Hokkaido, and I was told I was lucky to have experienced one, and now this has been my second. The Australian living with me experienced one yet, and came out in his pajamas looking like he'd seen a ghost.
You may have also guessed from the name of this post that I changed host families today, only a few hours ago really. I am already pretty familiar with my new host mother, but not so much with the rest of the family, they've been really nice so far. I'll miss my last host family, for a lot of reasons, but changing host families every three months keeps things interesting and is part of the adventure, right?
dinners almost ready, here are some pictures.
Oh P.S. I turned 19, even though I tried not to.
