Just to start my blog off I would like to say this: the people of Takeo City and Yamauchi are the most kind, hospitable, loving people I have ever met in my life. They take you in as if you were their real family; and after a week, I have discovered another part of my family. They are the Kusaba family, and my host sister is my foreign best friend. These past days I have bonded with not only her but also other American and Japanese students.
Today we went to Ground Zero at Nagasaki. The museum was one of the most moving things I have ever experienced. The museum reiterated exactly why Yamauchi World Friends is alive. Whether bonding over a Miyazaki movie or the Space Museum, I truly believe we are making peace, one friend at a time.
