I got my papers from Rotary today. As it turns out, a lot of things will be different from what I'd first been told when I wrote this post.
Here's the new information:
I'll be living in Hioki, a small city founded on May 1, 2005(!) It was founded from the merger of the towns of Fukiage, Higashiichiki, Hiyoshi and Ijuin. As of 2005, Hioki had an estimated population of 53 400 and a density of 211 persons per km².
...Wikipedia says.
There's six people in my main host family. They are:
Hiroki (father)
Atsuko (mother)
Sayaka (22)
Madoka (19)
Ryotaro (15)
Momo (8)
...I've never had so many siblings in my life! XD I think it'll be fun. (Although I'm slightly worried I might take to long in the bathroom... I use a long time to shower! Guess I'll have to speed up. :P )
My school will not be Kamikawa English School, but a fully Japanese high school called Kagoshima Josei High School. (Meaning all my classes will be in Japanese! I'll learn a lot! Kitto!) School starts at 1st of September.
...just.... wow! This will be great! XD

Shit, jeg er ikke bare imponert over at du virkelig skal bo og studere i Japan et år, men også relativt fascinert. Det hele er litt eventyraktig i hodet mitt. Det blir nok en kjempetur! :D
Hello!
I hope you will have a great time at the Izumi`s!
My name is Sebastian and I`m from Sweden (kunde nog skrivit på svenska men :p) and I just came home from my exchange year in japan..In Kagoshima!
yes..you might have guessed it already but I was also staying with the Izumi`s just like you and I hade the time of my life! You will find no family with a bigger heart in all of Japan!
So enjoy yourself during your year and maybe we can keep in touch sometimes? If you have any questions about the life there just let me know! :)
