part 1

I guess I should give you a real update. My current host family is
great, they speak in Japanese, they havem't gotten angry with me
despite a recent incident where I took a different bus than expected(I
had my reasons), and I'm being well fed.
Now I dare to say I can speak Japanese, though not well, I need to
work on a vocabulary(though the ex-word fills in the blanks quite
nicely.
My English is still in excellent condition and though I've likely lost
a few words, my French too seems fine(as far asI know).
