today we went to nishinomiya (about 90mins by train) where tuan's host family lives. his host family invited him for lunch.. me and zi tagged along =P
plan: bertolak from hostel 10am.. reach nishinomiya eki by 1130 to meet up with michael senpai (who happens to share the same host family as tuan) who's supposed to bring us to tat house as we hav no idea how to get there..
so how did we end up taking taxi?
we reached nishinomiya eki by 1130 alright. nishinomiya JRline eki to be exact... michael was waiting for us at nishinomiya hankyuu line eki...poor us..how were we supposed to noe tat JR and hankyuu train stations are so far apart..
when we finally reached...
...
she gave us some pots and aprons..
sorry.. onli got photos of zhong ing in apron. u'd hav to cross over my dead body b4 i wear something of tat kind and take photos of it..
conclusion: host family SAIKOU!! all u hav to do is eat eat AND eat! for free! the onli price (if it even counts as a price) is u hav to talk with them... haha wat a weird and wonderful world we're in.

osaka trains lines are confusing.. i repeat... confusing.. there's a total of 3 train companies(at least so far i noe there's 3) : JR which we usually take, Hanshin and Hankyuu. beh tahan.. my brain is too used to kl's simple lines...
oya the taxi costed 1140yen..rm42.18.
when we finally reached...
from left to right: michael, dulguun, yours truly, tuan, zi
...
tuan's host mum who's known as baaba is like the 'ring leader' of all the host mums. if i'm not mistaken, she's the one who hooked us new foreign students with host mums. i'm not sure her exact age but she's over 80 years old and she's more hyperactive than me.
she gave us some pots and aprons..
sorry.. onli got photos of zhong ing in apron. u'd hav to cross over my dead body b4 i wear something of tat kind and take photos of it..o.. there's a photo of me with the dessert tho..
baaba and other host mums treated us to dinner near the eki..

oya it seems tat when the senpais' family came over to japan, baaba let them stay at her house wor.. hehe =w=i'll ganbatte!
