tsukikageIt's certainly been a few days since I last wrote. Today's my third day at 自然の家[*] [Shizen no Ie, the name of the camp facility we stayed at], and so far I am having a lot of fun. My kids (i.e. the ones in my room) are all really fun. Their names are [I decided to remove the family names in this public entry] 絢子 (Ayako), 友希 (Yuki), 舞子 (Maiko), 梓 (Azusa), 美怜 (Misato), 晃子（あっこ） (Akiko (Akko)) and 麻里 (Mari). Unfortunately, however, I only remember two of their names (at least I can only match two of their faces to their names: Mari and Azusa - and Azusa I only got down today. ^^;
I've been trying to work really hard at being a good AC, but in the end my introvertedness can only bring me so far. I'm just not all that good at interacting in groups of 50 people. However, I'm trying to make up for it by interacting a lot with my kids. I know it's mainly just because my names is so long and because I suggested it, but they've started calling me ナッチャン [Nacchan] (sorry for accidentally stealing your name, Tasha ^^;). なんかうれしい。 [Somehow this makes me happy.]
Japanese baths are actually really nice. I especially like the being able to wash while sitting on my ass bit. ^^ I'm so lazy. I've also enjoyed eating Japanese meals, although we had grilled fish today, and I really suck at eating whole fish with chopsticks, and I eventually gave up on what was left.
One other amusing story: the other day I was using the squat toilet, and I totally mis-aimed! That was fun to clean up... ^^;
