Chiba, Japan - 18th February 2009

Hello everyone!
My name is Piyo. I have never traveled before but as I read other TV's travel logs, I got really interested in traveling so I decided to give it a go!
I always love to learn something new. I love visiting museums! Any kind of museums is fascinating for me. So it would be cool if you could take me to the museums nearby!
I also love to eat. I think you can see that from how chubby I am. I'm adventurous to foods. I love any kinds of food. So I want to try all the local foods out there!
I have so many places I want to visit that I can't list them all! I picked up Machu Picchu and Kijhi as life missions. If you live in Russia or Peru or you have any plans to visit there and if you can possibly bring me there, please drop me a line.
Oh, I can't wait to go on a trip!!!!
Well, I think I have to go by now. I need to practice to fly! Nobody here at kiskis's house doesn't know how but if you do, please teach me
See you!

Hi!
I visited my mom at work yesterday. She works at the airport.
Visiting me airport made me excited as I will be on a plane, too, soon!
I saw 雛人形(Hina Ningyo), the dolls for 雛祭り(Hina Matsuri), the Girl's Festival on March 3rd. Family with girls display those dolls, hoping their impurities and misfortunes would move from them to the dolls.
And they offer 桃の花(Momo no Hana, peach blossoms), 菱餅(Hishi Mochi, red, white and green lozenge-shaped rice cake) and 白酒(Shiro Zake, sweet white sake) to get rid of their impurities and misfortunes.
On that day, people eat 散らし寿司(Chirashi Zushi, vinegared rice topped with fish, vegetables, eggs and other stuff), 蛤のお吸い物(Hamaguri no Osuimono, clam soup) and 雛霰(Hina Arare, the special rice crackers for the festival).
They drink 甘酒(Ama Zake, a sweet slightly alcoholic drink made from fermented rice).
It sounds so much fun but I'm a boy. They also have a Boy's Festival on May 5th, though.
By the way, I'm visiting England!!! I really can't wait

Hello!
I have spent a couple of days getting used to life in England.
I found out that my host really likes Japanese literature and is really happy to have a guest from Japan.

I also got to meet Harry. He is too young to travel and he will travel with the host and her boyfriend when they go on holiday.
He is a hedgehog and he is very friendly. He says he likes meeting new friends and we played some games together. I managed to do a little flying and managed to be able to sit on his head!

I have had a very busy weekend.
I was taken to a restaurant for a meal and I tried a cocktail. It was very colourful - it was green, and white and brown. It tasted really nice.

I was also very lucky. I was taken to a concert.
My host and her boyfriend were going to see Snow Patrol and I was taken along. I really liked the music. We danced and sang along. It was loud but lots of fun.
At the end it was very very busy with people trying to get out of the stadium.

During the weekend my host and her boyfriend did some DIY and some work in the garden.
I watched as they worked and I really liked sitting in the bird house. It was nice and high up and I could see lots of things.

I also had an explore in the garden.
I had a look at the bird feeder (it was empty - all the birds had eaten the food) and I had a look over a fence. It was very high. Some squirrels were playing in the trees.

When I did some more exploring I met a rabbit called Tino. He was having a sleep. He didn't mind me coming and sitting next to him.
I also looked at some pretty flowers called Crocuses. They were lovely colours. It snowed a bit yesterday so my hosts were worried that the flowers might die. They seem ok today and are still looking pretty.

This morning I got to try breakfast.
One of my hosts was having a malted wheat cereal. It was shaped like little squares and the little squares have holes in them. It is eaten with milk.
My other host had some Weetabix. These are again eaten with milk. She likes to make the milk really soak into the weetabix so they are no longer crunchy.
