6th post: first troubles

So the real first trouble I've run into its getting money. I had this whole fiasco I'd trying to get money from the many 7 11s that are around Japan. At ditty I thought the back was doing maintenance, but then I realized 7 11 Raj into a problem with my type odd card a few months ago and haven't been able to get it fixed. So in order to get any money, I have to go to the post office, which is much more scarce than the 7 11s.  Anyway, that was slightly aggravating for a few days. But I got it resolved. So all is well again.

I've also gone to the Tokyo skytree. My host family and I all went to the top, as well as asakusa temple, one of the famous temples in Japan. I'll attach the pictures to this post.  Also, I achieved the goal of eating the three noodles famous in Japan: soba, udon, and ramen. I had the soba near asakusa, and the udon as a school lunch. Saturday all of the exchange students at our school and their 'buddies' went in a trip to sakuragichou, a rather big town that's really close to our school. This weekend's plan is karaoke on Saturday and the mountain and castle visit on Sunday. Everyone at school is getting ready for end of the year tests, so club activities are canceling. This means I get to hang or with classmates a little more, but that also means that my classmates ate going to be busy with studying for said tests. But oh well, there's nothing I bam do about it. I also haven't felt any culture shock yet, so I'm quite anxious about when I'm going to get it. But again, nothing I can do about it.

Also, I'm still getting noticed in my school, which really surprised me, considering it's been almost three weeks. I guess no matter how much time passes I'm still the white kid in a Japanese school. but it's not like it's bad attention. So I'm doing well in school. .

For now, I'm just glad I finally got a seat on the train ride home so I can write this. And as always,  I'm sorry I don't update this more. I'm just both really busy and really tired when I get home.
Anyway, Japan is amazing.
