Will I answer that question....?
Life in school went on in much the same way. I enjoyed Japanese greatly and I was determined to go to Japan. In March of 2007, my Junior year, a group of students from my cities sister city in Japan came to my city. I was lucky enough to host one of the girls. Her name was Reona, and I miss her greatly. There was one boy that came in the group and he stayed with Baka-kun. His name was Hayato. He was pretty wicked cool and I still talk to him in e-mails. He is in school in Canada right now. Pretty awesome.

After that experience I REALLY knew I had to go to Japan. And soon. Baka-kun had gone to Japan the summer before in a sort of student exchange. I was fortunate enough to do the same thing this last summer. The summer between my Junior and Senior years. I stayed in Japan for three weeks with the family of a girl named Aika. She was 15 years old and her two brothers, Hideki and Takashi, were 20 and 22 respectively. I loved them both but Hideki was an absolute riot. I spent most of my time with my host mom, but I did get to go to school some of the days. Because it was the same school that Hayato and Reona went to, I was able to see them again.

Sadly, all good things must come to an end and Aika and I had to fly away from Japan back to my home. Aika stayed for three weeks and we were both dead tired the entire time. Her flight back was delayed a day and that only made her departure more stressful. She did eventually leave, however, and I have not stopped missing her since. I had never had a LITTLE sister before.

So, in relation to the initial post title, it would have been much easier if I was Japanese, what with my extreme love of Japan, even though I did not go into great detail on it. I promise you, it IS there. My brother and sister and I are going to Japan this coming fall, and I do indeed plan on living in Japan in the not so distant future.

Even if that means finding a little Japanese man who will marry me so I can stay. lol.
