Saturday 10th September ~ host family

(8:40 pm)
I didn’t get up early to go for a walk this morning as there was no walk on so I hadn’t set my alarm Lana’s (the only other one in our room) did not go off for some reason, so when we were supposed to be down at breakfast, but hadn’t turned up we got a very nice little wake up call for the manager (who spoke no English – very amusing) I have never seen 5 teenage girls get dressed so quickly. After breakfast we packed up and left the hotel. Lana , Mel and I went to the べんり(benri~ convenience )store to buy lunch that we could eat on the train we spent over ½ an hour there just taking in the marvel of a Japanese supermarket. We then walked around the temple gardens and Mel and I both brought yukatas Lana brought her choc banana we then got the Shinkansen to Fuji and meet our host families. I had some difficulty explaining a comment to my host mum that she had overheard about me being late to breakfast, she though that we had missed breakfast and hadn’t eaten all day, and immediately started to try and find food for us, twas kinda amusing.
