After an hour of shopping, I was told that my host family will be bringing me to a Japanese restaurant to have our dinner there. I had shrimp tempura, white noodles and tempura ice-cream. It was very delicious especially the tempura ice-cream. We went home around nine p.m. and I got to try on an “Yukata”. It is similar to kimono, but the only difference is that, Yukata’s is much cheaper and the material used isn’t as good as compared to a Kimono. Also, from what they told me, every girl has to use a yukata for the whole day when they turn twenty years old to celebrate the occasion of being a woman. We exchanged souvenirs with each other before going to bed. I received a pair of chopsticks, and the Japanese traditional wallet from them. At about eleven-thirty p.m., it was time for bed. I enjoyed these three days of home stay with the Kaguchi family. They’re really kind, polite and very helpful. I hope that we can meet each other again.
