homestay craze

My dorm is kicking me out after half a year even though I am studying in Japan for a year. Just because i made a mistake to sign up for only half a year. So i have been going to the school's international center to negotiate for extension or whatever. i dont want to name names, but Keio's international center is full of b.. i mean the people working there dont listen to you and they are so indifferent to student's needs! i talked to them for like 4 times about this, in ENglish, in Japanese, with my professor calling them... yeah i tried everything holding up to my home university's true values of protesting. But they just dont budge. now they probably know my face and is really annoyed at me, but yeah so now i am looking for other housings..

so thats why im looking for homestay! it just sounds really fun like if you are just idealizing. But in truth, as these couple weeks' searching as showed, it is difficult to find the ideal family to stay in. SOmetimes they want you because they want to make extra money, or they want you to teach their kid english...etc Plus tokyo's houses are notoriously tiny, so most families dont have an extra room to have guests...unlike california where people have like 20 extra rooms sitting around. for each of their pet dogs, maybe.

but there is this family that i really like once i saw the pic of their kid!

THEY ARE SOOOO CUTE!
so maybe i will consider them>< the only thing is that it would take 10minutes by bike to the station, then 1 hour to my school and 10 minutes walk to campus.........yeah thats a lot of time.
but the kids are so CUTE! i wish i will have kids as cute as them!
i will have to decide my housing soon, so will update then!
