8th may

Today I went to a shrine with my homestay mum... it probably doesn't count as going to church since its the wrong religion ^_^' (though i'm not really sure if it was buddhist or shinto.)
I was sort of farmiliar with what to do since I went to a shrine last time.  First there's a water fountan thing that you washed your hands in (cleansing?) then you chuck money into a thing-y and bow twice, clap twice, then bow once again.  I think you're suspost to prey somewhere in between all of that but I didn't for obvious reasons. Outside the shrine (which is called kishibojin ) there was a market place where all these people were selling their home made arts and crafts. 

After that we went to a 100 yen shop which is basically the same as our '$2 shop' except everything is actually 100yen/ $1.  The shelves don't even have price tags since everything is the same price, it was SO cheap.  Then we went grocery shopping and came home after.

Because it's mothers day today we had sushi, pizza and cake.  It was yummy however I think the pizza in australia tastes better.  I had to expain to my family that it was weird eating nigiri (rice with a huge piece of raw fish on top) so I just had a little but of it.
