Vegemite

Woke up at 9.30 today. Which is super early for my Host family on a weekend. Especially when there not even doing anything. I whipped out my Vegemite for breakfast, along with some cornflakes because I wasn’t in a rice eating mood. It was good. I’m rather missing Jam. I know you can buy it here so I might go buy myself a Jar. My family doesn’t have things. They usually just have butter on toast or make it into a toasted sandwich.

When I was watching TV I heard my host family behind me having a big discussion. I was trying to listen in. It sounded quite intense. It was over who the owner of the vegemite on the table was and where it had come from. I asked them if they wanted to try. They did. They also liked it. Probably because I showed them how to make vegemite on toast properly. Their first move was going to be Just on plain bread. But that gross. I told them that you have to have the bread toasted and buttered in order for it to be delicious. The only person who didn’t enjoy it was my Host Dad who said it was so-so.

After lunch, in which we had spaghetti bolognaise. My family eats an odd mix of really traditional meals, then they just cook something weird and non-Japanese every now and then. It was good, not as good as back home. But still good. But anyway after lunch me and my host brother walked to Fujisawa station to look for a SD card and headphones for my phone now. I’ve loaded all my music onto my phones card but the music player on my phone doesn’t seem to want to find it. I’ll figure things further tomorrow.

For dinner we had dead fish on a plate. Its actually tasty even though it smells gross. Tonight in my miso soup there was some mushrooms. Im used to finding fungi of sorts in my soup. But these one had a snot like covering over them it was so sick. I used my how to eat disgusting food without wretching trick to eat them. Basically I put in my mouth pop it under my tongue where I can’t taste it. Then either wash it down with a drink or Eat a whole bunch of rice. It works really well. I use it all the time.

Tonight I leave all with some pictures of my new cellphone.
