Reflection for August 2014

August was a great month!  Though to be completely honest almost everything before the 21^st is a complete blur. I remember the month fondly and it was filled with my Canada farewell food and movie list the Canadian part ranks a 9.5/10 only because the Japanese part needs to have room to fit. .

In japan I got to meet my first two host families. Go to a rotary meeting and meet all of my classmates!
It has been a very enjoyable exchange thus far and from what I can tell will stay that way for a long time!
The japan part of august rates 10/10 without a doubt.
It has been amazing. Probably one of the best times of my life (with the events happening in September definitely ranking in the best times I have ever had).
The only night that could be viewed as a possibly bad night ( I choose to view it as character building and to show myself I can overcome just about anything while I’m here) would have to be the night I missed my flight. It was hard. Physically painful at time and mentally straining at all times. That night is long passed and I don’t think I have frowned at all throughout my stay so far.

I have been keeping my blog well updated and hope you are enjoying what you read! ( Livinginthelandofanime.wordpress.com) I will try and make a post at least once a week possibly more often if something really really cool happens ( I wrote really twice because just really cool things happen a lot so I have to set the bar somewhere )
