It was a sunny day in Copenhagen.We met at kastrup airport at 1:30 pm. We were really exited, but also a little bit sad because we had to say goodbye to our families.Then we said goodbye to our parents and brothers and sisters. We checked in, and we had some problems to check in with Christians bag. But after some time it worked out. Then we got to the security, Christian and Emmelie had some problems with the security system, but it was not a serious problem.Then we shopped and bought candy and Josef checked out some watches and sun glasses. There was many big shops and more than you can think of. The most of us bought cola and other drinks, they also bought something to eat in the flight. The final passport control, we waited a long time and finally the worst was over. We think all were excited, to finally get to Tokyo. We had all our hopes up. After that we all came in the flight safe and sound.

Wednesday 9th. of June:

It was a very sunny and hard day.
I was with Tullah and Josef, we had breakfast and after we finished our breakfast we searched after a taxi, it took a while. I had my wallet in my hand all the time and after Tullah, Josef and I got off, we saw Christian and Urim. We walked together all the way to seven eleven and that was the moment I noticed that I forget my wallet, with my MasterCard, cash and my security card. I hurried back to the hotel and searched, I also got help from the police station, they couldn't talk much English for a police station, but I think they really did their best. Lucky me that I had my teacher and friends to help me. They told me to stay calm, they even told me that Japanese people don't steal. After some hours, the wallet was found, the taxi driver had come by the hotel with itI was so relived and happy at the same time.

8. Of June 2016

Today we were on a Japanese school called hakuyou Jr. High school. To get to the school we took the subway. The teachers bough us some tickets. We waited in a long time and we was not allowed to talk because it's not okay to talk in the train stations in Japan. We should put the tickets in a machine and when we were on the other side of the machine we got the tickets back but with a hole in it. When we were in the train it was the second stop we had to get off the train. The rest of the way to the school we walked.
When we came to the school, there was a tradition, we had to take our shoes off, and take on some green sandals.
The day we were visiting the school, they had their 15 years anniversary, and we heard them sing a lot of songs.
The Japanese kids, were very fast, when they had to get up and down.
When they had sung the songs, the headmaster presented us, then we Were on the stage and sang the song "in Denmark I was born" when we were getting up on the scene, the Japanese kids, were reacting very excited, and they were clapping very loud. then we present the song, and in the end, we talked Japanese. And they were very happy and, surprised too see us.
Then we were done and took the subway home.

Takeshita street

goglobal — 2016-06-09 11:14:17 UTC

Takeshita 9/6.

We went to Takeshita Street today. Takeshita is a long street, with mostly clothes, shoes and souvenirs. The clothes the shop sold, most cute and a little bit punk clothes and accessories for girls. And boys most of it punk and some small sections of more normal clothes (with this said, we both think punk is a normal). It was fun to walk around, so fun we lost track of time. Camilla had to go get us at mc'donalds. We felt very bad but we still had a lot of fun.

City hall

goglobal — 2016-06-15 08:55:10 UTC

The 9th of June 2016. We took the train to Tokyo's city hall which is 242.9 m. High and has 48 floors. On the 45th floor there are a panoramic view which is free to the public and has a shop (that was where we were). The view from up there is excellently fantastic super duper view of Tokyo (that day the sun didn't shine and it was foggy, so our view were a little limited but still fantastic) you could see at least 2 kilometers (at a foggy day). I wish we had more time at the city hall but some people over slept so we only had 15-20 Min)

Ueno zoo

goglobal — 2016-06-15 09:08:44 UTC

Ueno zoo
We got about 2 hours in ueno zoo. I walked with Bertram and Ida. We started by seeing the monkeys and they had a very very very small cage. Actually almost all of the animals had a very small cage, and me and Ida actually just walked around complaining about their small cages. But then we met Alberte, Olivia and Isabell and their Japanese friends. Then we met Naromi and got fries. When Isabell ordered she asked about "pomes frites" and then we started laughing. Then we ate our fries and Naromi showed us the bat house. I bought a panda to Emmelie and then she named it Esthi. It was sad because the pandas had a really really small cage.
Written by Esther.
Izabella was in a group with a few people from our school and some Japanese students as well. After seeing some animals in the zoo and seeing how they lived in their habitats we couldn't go on. We thought that they lived horribly so we said to the Japanese students that they just could go on without us. After that we sad on a bench and had a great time there. Written by Izabella.

Then me and Christian left, we got away with a taxi, we told the taxi driver to drive us to the police station in Taito, because it was, where we was supposed to meet up. The taxi driver was driving the wrong way, but we thought he would take a faster way. we said it is not the prison out of the city. Because we saw a prison on our way to Taito city. The driver did not speak English so we gave him some money and tried to remember the way to the police station. We did not know what we was supposed to do.

- [ ] I met my host family in Ueno JHS. In the beginning I was so afraid, but when I finally met them I thought, it's not that bad. They wasn't like crazy or weird, they were kind and polite. But I hoped that the host family liked sport, but they was like a boring family. When we finally got home, I met the father and the little sister the father was nice, but the little sister was so shy. There house was little and I didn't have a bed, I had to sleep on the ground besides my Japanese boy, that is called Lee Jyonan. The next day I met Sana, Esther and will, we had fun making some origami and stuff. I also got to shop and I bought a lot of stuff, they also bought me things. The end of the day the hole family ate sushi in a restaurant and I also got to eat it, the best about sushi is tempura. The next day I had to say goodbye to my family.

hachiko

goglobal — 2016-06-15 10:43:28 UTC

Hachiko is a big street where you can shop and eat a lot of different food. In Hachiko there are many shops for all kind of people.
There were funny things and special things from Japan like clothes, make up and so on.
It's more different than Denmark, it looks more like New York. In the street there is really tall buildings and high music, billboards and lights.

In Hachiko there were a lot of people but most Japanese. Specially when we were at the traffic lights and all people would cross the street.

Most of the girls spend their time in H&M and we only had 1 and a half hour to shop in Hachiko, the time was flying like the wind because it was so fun. We had a god day:)

Home stays

goglobal — 2016-06-15 11:19:26 UTC

We were living in the attic. I was surprised at first when I found out. The first day I was just relaxing and getting my host family to know. They knew next to no English, so they're answers where like "yes" or "no". I was living with the son the mother the father and two brothers. For dinner the first day we had fish, sadly I only like raw fish like sushi, so I didn't eat much the first night. Next day we had to wake up at 6.30. Because we had to eat early, and go to a theme park early. My finger was stuck in a door and it became all blue while we where at the theme park so we had to go home early, my finger was ok the day after. For dinner the brother took us out for sushi Which was probably the best part of the home stays. The next day we woke up early as always, and we ate breakfast. We had pink egg for breakfast and I wasn't a fan of it. We came back to the hotel via train.

The homestay was really funny because we did a lot of things for an example we got carried around in a rickshaw and we heard about the city that was exciting Then we went to a restaurant where his oncle worked, and the food there was very good. when we got home played super mario 3D world. The day after we went to a temple called Asakusa temple it was very exciting and my host family told me about the history of Japan after that we went to a hundred Yen store. After that we went to go and eat lunch we ate running sushi for lunch it was very delicious. then we went to a place where you could buy something that is called yoku moku that is a kind of pancake but rolled and then it's crunchy and it taste like vanilla.
in the evening we went to a festival it was really fun because some of my friends where there
after we went to a restaurant and the food was okay but not the best but at least we had a lot of fun.

13th. of june; going home

goglobal — 2016-06-15 11:30:09 UTC

The flight home everyone was very tired because of a long week and most of the people just wanted to get home fast and see their family. When we got on the plane we plugged our headset in the entertainment system and watched movies, they had allot of new movies. when we got in the air they seatbelt sign went off and we could walk around. 10 minutes after we the sign was turned on again and we had to sit because of turbulence. some of us were scared when the turbulence came, since some of us haven't experienced turbulence before. after the turbulence we sat back and watched movies again, and talked to each other. Some of us walked around and exchanged seats. When the food came we ate it fast even tho it was not tasty, because we were hungry. at least we got coke to drink which was nice. When we finally landed we were relieved and went out fast.

Before we were going home to our Japanese families, we were at the school, where we saw how their classes worked. Marwa and I were in the same class and we were also together the next day where we went to Disney Sea and just chilled with our host families. Every time we wanted to buy something the family insisted to pay. After the Disney Sea we took to the town and meet Bertram, Josef, Christian, Frederik, Laura and Esther at a festival. All except Josef eat dinner together.
The next day we meet at Taito city hall and say bye to the parents.

At the hotel there were some people (Olivia and Emilia and some other boys) who overslept so they only had 10 minutes to get ready… on our way to the airport we sat and talked about our school trip and some people slept. The bus tour was long but it was okay.

At the airport we started going through the security and pass control. After the security we got a hour to shopping at the airport, and also to spend the rest of our money and get some lunch. Then we met at the gate, where some students used money on a massage chair. There were some different kind of Japanese art at the airport.

Day 1

The first day when my host family picked me and my Japanese friend up from the school, we drove home. When we arrived at their home, the first thing was that they showed me around in their house. Then we relaxed for about a half an hour. Afterwards we went out for a walk and a drink. In the end we bought some food and went back home. The parents were Cooking the food while me and Kaori was in her room. When they were done with the food they called for us. When we were done eating, me and Kaori just relaxed. Afterwards all of us played a game. When the game was done, me and Kaori went to sleep.

Day 2

The next morning, we started with a delicious breakfast, after the breakfast the plan was that we should make a range, when we arrived to the place where we were gonna make ranges, I saw some of my classmates, i was very surprised and happy. I had a lot of fun while making the range, because I was with my friends.
When we were done making the ranges, we first went to Kaoris grandfather, who was very nice and sweet. He gave me some presents that I really loved and admired. After visiting her grandfather we were going to eat lunch.
The lunch was very good and delicious. When we were done eating we went visiting her grandmother, who was very nice and beautiful. While we were there I tried some Japanese candy, and I also tried to wear a kimono. It was very fun to try it because it is very different compared to Danish clothes. After the visit at her grandmother, me, Kaori and her mother went out to shop.
Me and Kaori also took some pictures in a machine, it was very fun to try it, because I've never tried it before. After that we went to the festival were I saw a lot my friends and there I had a very good time. When it was starting to getting late, we went home and ate delicious food that her father made.

I had a great time at my Japanese family. They weren't the best at English but we managed to have some conversations. The first day we relaxed, played Mario cart and made some origami birds. Second day we met op with Josef, Nikolai and their Japanese. First we visited a temple, it was very interesting and pretty. We did like everybody else and "washed" our self with smoke, washed our hands with some "holly water" I think and then threw a coin in some place and then prayed to Buddha. After having looked around in the temple we sore some fish and spend some time there and then, we got to the first amusement park in Japan. It was small but still quite fun. Later that day me and my Japanese, Wakanna where going to a festival. She asked if I wanted to have a kimono on but I said "no thx". At the festival I catch a fish and won some prizes. To dinner we had homemade sushi. There were fish in the middle, bowls with rise and sea weed on the side. And then we literally made it. It was hard in the start but very delicious. And that was the end of my homestay.

Last Friday all of the Go Globel student where going to a Japanese host family.

When my Japanese host family mom came and picked me and my Japanese friend Mieko up we walked all the way to her house.
When we got in the house we ate some melon and relaxed a couple of hours, and then there was dinner. We ate sushi, salat and miso soup and it tasted really good, I really loved it.

When we where done eating Mieko, her little sister and I played Nintendo it was really fun to try because last time I played on a Nintendo I was 6 years old.
When we where done playing all of us went to sleep.

The next day we woke up early and ate breakfast, we ate bread with melted cheese, it tasted really good. When we where done eating we went out to some kind of a tivoli called Hanayashiki. It was very fun, we tried a lot of things like a ship that was above the ground and it was very fun.

After we where at the tivoli we went out to eat, we ate tempura and rise, which is a Japanese dish.
It tasted really good and it was fun to try something new and exotic.
When we where done eating we went out shopping, when we where done shopping we went home to relax a little bit, because we were going to a festival later.
After we had relaxed a bit we ate salmon, some kind of tempura with potato and a Japanese soup, which was the dinner, it tasted really good.

When we where done eating we went out to a big festival, we where hanging out with Miekos friends and it was really fun. We where walking around and looking at a lot of shops where they sold a lot of different kind of food and it was really exciting and fun.
It was really fun to see so many new things, especially about there culture.
When the festival was done we went home, and slept.

All the things we had done together was really fun and I am so thankful for that I got a opportunity like that, and it's something I will never forget.
