Meet Saki, also from Japan. Saki stayed with for two weeks in July 2006, she is totally delightful with a fun loving attitude. Her English was a lot better and we found communicating with her a lot easier. She even managed to teach us some Japanese - which was a big ask for me, I was hopeless. Although one word that I did grasp was Klu Klu Pa - which means crazy. The word itself was used frequently during Saki's stay, totally describing the environment that we live in LOL.
Aaron got along so well with her, in fact he found it very difficult to say Goodbye to her at the end of her stay, he really bonded with her. The last night that she was hear the two of them were running around like nuts giggling and laughing together.
We again did the trip to Gorge Wildlife Park, such a great place to go with our students, because of the interaction that they have with the animals, it is also free to hold the Koala and you can take as many photos as you like (what a bargain).

Feeding the Wallaby's
We took, her on the Pt River Dolphin cruise, and the dolphins were so co-operative the day that we took her out, they were everywhere, it was such a beautiful day, she thoroughly enjoyed herself.

Saki taught us how to write our names in Japanese, they do this on rice paper with ink and a thick brush, quite difficult actually although Saki made it look quite easy. Aaron and Renee loved doing this. Origami was also big on the agenda....making cranes being very popular, but also a little difficult to do!

Another popular tourist spot here in Adelaide is Glenelg, quite yuppy, the place to go! Right on the beach, lots of fun and excitement.

Saki is a regular emailer, she is doing really well in school , and was so pleased to receive pics of Donna's wedding as she was here when she got engaged!
