I've got to the Bains, my host family.
When I arrive at Mottingham Station, I made a call, then Mr. Bain appeared soon.
They are semi professional host family.
They have received a lot of students, and made some rules;
you cannot take a shower after 10pm, be quiet after 9pm, and so on.
Now, there are four Italian tourists and tow German girls staying in this house.
German girls are going to the same school.
All of them are going back to their countries on Saturday, so I was asked not to take a shower for a long time until Saturday. It is not so good for Japanese, we love bathing.

The family are Rinda, mother, Lee, father, John, 14 year-old son, and a daughter who lives in her flat.
John looks sociable, lovely.

Today is the firstday, so I made a lot of questions. Then Rinda said, "you speak English well. Some Japanese and Chinese don't speak English at all. I am glade you speak English."
I felt really happy to hear that!

Then I went out to look around the town.
Near the station, I happen to meet a kind old man, and he drove me to the shopping street.
Today is surely nice day.

In the evening, German girls, Monica and Catherine, came to my room. They are sisters.
They are polite and friendly.

The first day in the English school.
I was nearly late for school, because of terrible tube delay.
18 new students, including 3 Japanese.
The video tape introduced about school, and a teacher showed us school facilities, then he explained London.
Next, an exam to measure English ability.
The result was I'll join an upper intermediate class.

I've made friends with some Asian students, and went to pub.
Of those, two girls named Eriko and Sung will be my class mates. Yet, their conversation was incredible!
They talked and laughed in English, it sounded pretty natural.
I was afraid, "what should I do from tomorrow?!"

When I came home, I told Rinda, "I am afraid."
She kindly said to me, "it's ok, you can speak English well."
I hope so.
