We made our own food. Here are some pictures of home-made Udon. (Udon is a kind of noodle.)
This is me and Benna and some of the other kids catching salamanders in the rice fields.
Here's a picture of when one of the many chickens got inside the house.
Before they drove us back to where we're staying in Kyoto, they brought us to a friend's house that was very "Japanese style." The first picture is of the living room area kind of. It was pretty much a big room with a fire in the middle of it. There was no chimney in the house, the smoke just finds its way out through the roof.
This is the tatami room. It's a big room that most Japanese houses have.
This is the bathroom. There are two separate rooms for bath and toilet. This one is the bath. You first wash yourself off, then get into the bath to soak.
This is the outside of the house. As you can see they are fixing it up. The roof is made of bundles of grass. If you click on the picture you can see me walking out of the house.
This is our family and the family we stayed with and their neighbors who are very close and were with us most of the time.
We're going back home in just a few days. So, see you soon!
