こどもの日 aka Children's Day

Today is Children's Day, a very big holiday in Japan that ends the golden week. Mainly for celebrating boys growing taller, koi noberi is hung and takenoko is eaten... Fish flags are hung and baby bamboo is eaten... Went to host family's grandparents home today... I ate way to much then the grandparents gave me a giant chocolate cake!!! I can't eat no more!!! It was really cute when my host bro tied what I think is a green onion around his head (part of the holiday). Yesterday I went digging for clams, it's was really fun, I spent way to much time digging cause more than half the clams I found were just laying there waiting to be picked up... School again Monday, long sleeves are too hot in this weather!! When can we switch to the short sleeve uniform?? ... Anyway Golden Week is oober fun/awesome...
