Week one:

My leg is throbbing, my mom is 'yelling', my dad is rushing, my sister is whining.

It was really annoying!!!

So we went to our place to stay and my sister did not like it at all.

Thank you to dad - we will go to a hotel! At first I did not like the thought (because of the hotel in India) but after I saw it, it was OK.

Plus we will be able to go to a Japanese room in week.

It was really calm the first week, so we walked around looking at the cherry blossoms. (The cool thing we did was buy cool stuff at the Kiyomizu temple.)

Week two: (I really like the Japanese room! It is really cool!)

We went to Hiroshima were we got mobbed by deer at lunch time.

We also learned about when it got hit by a nuclear bomb.

Me and mom walked up a trail at the hotel. It was a nice walk too.

We went to a samurai movie village. We saw a Ninja show that was funny because it was in Japanese and they kept on falling off the stage (when they got stabbed)!

Week three:

We went to the Takayama Festival, but they canceled it because it was raining. So it was a rip-off.

A Geisha entertained us. The facts about how many pounds the kimonos were and how long it took for them to do their hair and put on their kimonos were amazing!

Other:

We watched the movie "Shogun" and I read the books: "How the Cat Went to Heaven" and "The Sign of the Chrysanthemum".

Mari (Sophie's friend) was here from Monday to Saturday.

I was sick the last three days.
