The beginning of a bond

I've been emailing my host family back and forth a bit recently. It's kinda funny. At first, the conversation felt so impersonal and as if I was just talking to some random person. But in the last email I got, my host mom typed a bit less formally and they sent me a family picture, and now I actually feel a bit closer to them.
It's funny how after seeing who we're talking to, we feel a stronger bond with them. I'm totally taking psychology when I get back to Canada, cause the way the brain works is fascinating.
Speaking of psychology, I may end up posting my thoughts about things not related to Japan, but about  things that I've noticed about after being in Japan. Some of it may be a bit profound. Not so profound as finding the meaning of life, but still pretty profound.

Host School and Orientation

I got an email the other day telling me where I'll be going to school in Japan!

ホストの学校についてメールをもらった！
I'll be attending Kobe Ryukoku High School in Kobe, in Hyogo Prefecture. 

兵庫県の神戸で、神戸龍谷高等学校に出席します。

Kobe is about an hour to an hour and a half away from Kyoto and Osaka

神戸は京都と大阪から１時半から１時半間までぐらい。

(The two places that I wanted to be placed in, so all works well.)

（それはいいね。京都や大阪で留学したいから。）

This Friday is my orientation in Toronto. 

今週の金曜日はトロントでオリエンテーションがあります。

I kinda have an idea of what will be discussed, but I'll just make another post about it when I get home on Friday.

よく分からないけど、家に帰るときアップデートをします。
