So, Kjers arrived in Chino last Friday, picked her up after work at the train station. It's soooooo good to speak Swedish again after months and months of only English and attempts at Japanese.
Saturday (Midsummer!) we spent first at one of my schools playing sports (school festival thing) for 3 hours, and then we jumped in the car, drove back home as fast as we could, only to jump into another car waiting for us outside my building. In that car were Taya, Toshi and Nerida, and we all drove south (I think) to a cherry plantation for a 40 minute all you can eat-session. Needless to say, I won't be eating cherries again anytime soon, and I think Kjers is on the same page hehe.
On Sunday we went to my boss' house for a New Zealand traditional hangi (you dig a hole in the ground, heat up rocks, then bury whatever you want to cook). Lots of people came and it was a really nice time =)
Yesterday I had the day off because of the school festival thing, so we drove around checking out some shops, trying desperately but failing miserably to find manga in English. Even finding anime with English subtitles proved futile =( I bought Peacemaker in Japanese, always good to practice, but I think once we get to Tokyo on Saturday we will make another attempt at finding manga translated to English =)
Today, Kjers came to school with me and acted as my show and tell. The kids were all staring everywhere she went, so I guess she is now a celebrity at that school hehehe. Don't know how much fun she had though, poor girl hehehehe....
Will try to post some pics later!
