well, today is the day...we leave Japan in 4 1/2 hours. we had to re pack our bags properly last night, ready for the flights today, so it was a very late night. We woke up at bour 6, so we could Skype home one last time before we left. Its when i see them, that i really miss them. This time tomorrow we will be in Australia! Last night Sharon handed out awards to everyone. Joshua got the "Fizz Kid" award, it seemed like he got a drink out of every vending mac...

We are waiting for our flight. Only about half an hour left in Japan. Next stop Singapore. I have really enjoyed the company of the people we have travelled with. Some have been SUPER annoying, but the rest have been fantastic!

today was our last day in Japan. We have had a great time, my only wish was that there was more opportunity to upload my blog. I have kept a diary, so i will make a photo album up with that in it. The photo is of Joshua and I with our home stay family. Minori is 12 and I am standing next to her mum Yuka. they didnt speak much english, so we communicated through the use of an Ipad and my iphone. We enjoyed our stay there. I guess that my next login will either...

Our first beautiful day here in Japan. We went to the peace park today, while we were there, a group of 5/6yr old school kids came to bring their cranes. Our kids had their photos taken with the kids. Then our kids sang them a song, and they sang "when you wish upon a star" to us. All the mum's had tears in their eyes. So beautiful.

We just went through the peace museum. Omg, what those people went through was just terrible. The sad thing is, people still have not learnt that war is not the answer.
