Hi Emanuel! Wishing you an incredible journey and all the adventures of a lifetime - can't wait to hear about everything on this site. xo Aunt Melissa & Uncle Mark

Emanuel... I swear if I could I'd hop on a plane and join you just to eat I would!!! Even if it looks totally gross, you make it sound delish!!! I can't believe the stuff you are eating. I laughed out loud when I read about the jello feeling like slugs!! You are too funny! I know family comes first, but when you come home and make that Japanese dinner for your family, Chichi AND I will be hiding under the table waiting for any scraps to fall!! The pics of your recent trip are equally amazing. Your host family sounds to good to be true. You are very lucky to have been hooked up with them, and they.. just as lucky to have you as their "white kid". Keep up the good work, learn lots and most of all have fun! I look forward to more adventures in the blog. It's like a good book that you can't put down and wonder what's coming next! Thanks for sharing. April :)
