Yup, I know I haven’t written here for awhile, but I wanted to say that Japan goes well. I am getting a little homesick, basically missing one diana spradlin, but also a lot of other people back in the USA, including my friends and family. Anyways, I experienced another one of those gentle nudgings I talked about earlier, it occured last night with my host family. When we were discussing the going to a tea ceremony on Sunday.

“The tea ceremony is very formal.”

“Should I wear a suit coat?”

“No, but it is formal.”

“Should I wear a tie?”

“No, but it is very formal.”

“Okay! I’ll get my hair cut!”

 So yes, I went to the barber today to get my hair cut. It was a very interesting experience because I usually have a hard time expressing how I want my hair to be cut in english, let alone in Japanese. They gave me a style book but all the styles were from the 80’s and pretty much looked like Japanese businessmen. So then I thought how I would roll if I was a Japanese businessman and picked a style, but I said “not as short as that one, but look the same.” I think she understood, and I am relatively pleased with the haircut. Not super happy, but I was feeling like I would hate it. Anyways, I am really excited for the tea ceremony tomorrow and I will probably write someting about it later.
