A Picture's Worth

It's great to be back. I never thought I'd miss being gawked at for being tall and dirty blonde, but apparently I did. And right when we came out of the gate, my host parents gave me a small present for Coming of Age Day since I wasn't here for it. I love my Japanese family.

Last month I mentioned one of my old flatmates is from Queensland and had family affected by the floods. Till now it was his cousins in a different part of the state getting flooded out, but now his hometown is expecting a cyclone pretty soon. So his parents and siblings are staying with my family for a bit; the guy himself is still in America. At least now that his family's safe he won't ruin his holiday worrying. I don't know what I'd do if it was my family.

Uh... Sorry to be a downer. Anyone want to hang out while I'm here?
