7th August

   I have never been abroad before, so it was the first time I had to sleep on an airplane, however, I could't sleep at all. We arrived safely in Australia, but Australia is cold and I was sleepy, so it was a very hard first day.

    My host family consists of my host mother, host father and two children. The children were very close. I don't have any brothers, but they are probably very different from Japanese brothers.  My host family is very kind, so they speak very slowly.

    I feel like I can get by here for three weeks.

It is very cold in Australia, but I can sleep well. The food is very delicious and the people are kind. Everyday I can experience many things and have lots of fun.

  Today was a very busy but exciting day. In the morning, we climber Mount Coolum instead of going to the University. Mount Coolum is 208m tall. It is a short but challenging walk to the top. At the top we rested and ate morning tea. After that, we returned to school and joined a grade 9 Japanese class in which students were paired together and asked one another questions about life in their respective countries. After lunch, we visited the school farm and students joined the students who look after the   miniature horses there and learned ho to care for, lead and run with the horses. The local students were very friendly and helpful and the students had a great time. It was a great day. I went to the school. Nest, we took a bus. We arrived at a mountain. There was a stone road that we followed to the top of the mountain. We were very tired but the view we could see at the top of the mountain was very beautiful. When we went back to school, we joined rear 9 Japanese class. We ...

20th August (High School)

I woke up at 7 AM. When I woke up my host family were watching a rugby game on TV. They are from South Africa so they were cheering. At 8:30 AM, my host brother and sister took me on a canoe ride. From the boat, I could see lots of fish in the water and it was so much fun. After that, we went to Moooloolaba Beach. We walked on the beach and went to the shops there. We came back home at 5:00 PM. My host sister and brother taught me how to   ride an electric scooter and we went to see the view on the scooters.   In the evening, we watched Fast and Furious and ate steak for dinner. It was so much fun but I was sad because it was my last weekend. T.W (High School. Girl) I went shopping at Sunshine Plaza and went to different places with my host family. For example, I went to the game corner and played some games. After, my host father bought me a donut and I ate it. It was delicious. He also bought me a double cheeseburger from McDonalds. It was also very good. Also, he bought me ...

I went to school at 8:00. In the morning, we had a lesson on the history of hunting in Australia in English at the outdoor theatre. Then we went to the oval and watched the aboriginal man throw boomerangs. In the afternoon, I took classes with my buddy. I went to P.E class. There, we played rugby. It was very hot and hard work but it was a lot of fun. After returning home, we ate ramen noodles and snacks brought from Japan. I hope to enjoy the remaining day of the trip. H.Y (High School. Boy) I woke up at 6:00. I ate corn flakes for breakfast. I took a bus with my host sisters. My host sister who is in grade 5 went to school camp, so today is the last day that we can go to school together.   In the morning, we attended an aboriginal workshop- it was interesting. I was especially interested in the boomerangs- it was amazing. When it was morning tea, I bought sushi at the tuck shop. I wanted to try it. I chose teriyaki avocado and it was nice.   After morning tea, I took my budd...
