I hope your feeling better by now. Culture shock seems terrible, but i know once you shake it off, you will be having so much fun!!

I hope every day you start feeling better. It will be better after school starts I'm sure. It sounds like you have already had some adventures. I would have a hard time with all the fish. But you are probably right it is all in the way it is prepared. And it helps that it is so fresh.

Just enjoy all your experiences. And know all the fun you will have and all you will learn.

We all love you and miss you but get in the sun as much as possible and be happy!!!!

Love,Brenda
