3rd post: Museum trip and School

A lot has happened in these past two days, and it doesn't look like it'll slow down anytime soon. Yesterday I went on a trip with my host families church to a museum. it was a natural history museum of sorts, and was really quite cool. However, one of the most interesting parts about the trip was people I went with. I went with my host brother Hiro, and got to know a young 3rd grader named Yuuta. He's the most energetic kid I've ever seen, and that's saying a lot. He gave me the nickname Kinpatsu-Kun, which  means Mr. blond hair. I was also called kuri chan by his older sister, who is still only in elementary school. The entire trip was very fun, and I plan on going to their church next Sunday.
Now for the fun part: Today's school. Pretty much, I know what a celebrity feels like to a lesser extent. All of the girls literally went "Kyaaaaa!" when I smiled at them. It was extremely embarrassing, but I can't tell you how much of a confidence booster it was. When you have a group of girls crowding around you complimenting you, it really helps a guy's self esteem. I do realize that it just my 10 minutes of fame I get because I'm new, but I might as well enjoy it. Its an interesting contrast from the glares and stares I get on the train.
Another thing that's happening tomorrow is the taiiku sai. The extent of my knowledge on that is that we're meeting at a stadium. It'll be interesting to experience it.
Normal life had been good as well, as I've finally introduced myself to the entire family. I'm eating properly, trying different teas, and trying to enjoy every minute I can here.
I'm still on the high of arriving in Japan, do I have yet to experience culture shock. Don't worry if I become sad or anything, because that's normal.
Well, I'll post again when other interesting things happen. Until then.
