Got no reason got no shame, got no family I can blame, just don't let me disappear

Hey ! Still alive ? Yeah, yeah, me too -I know it didn't seem like it... Right now I'm writing from Japan. I'm here for 3 weeks, for the holidays, plus learning the language in a school. I'm homestaying.
First - My family is a bit... how should I put it? ... special. They really stick to the stupid rules of the school : be back at 9(pm...), call before 3pm if you don't eat there the night. PLUS, their rules : they don't really like me going out when the sun is setting ("you're going to meet the people who go out when it's dark"... DUH in the morning, I meet the people who go out in the morning, so WHAT?), I have to get up at max. 8am (which is crazy because I have class only in the afternoon !) and help with the house work... I don't really mind that last thing but... Come on, she's a housewife !

Pff... Sorry, I'm a little tired. This morning (it's a sunday, and, yes, we have to wake up at 8), the kid (a 4-year-old girl, totally selfish and spoiled) cried from 6 to 8.30 NON STOP. Yeah her teeth hurt, so what ? Right now I don't give a damn.
I should explain. My room is downstairs, just beside the living room. Since they wake up so damn early in the morning, I'm up every day at around 6. I can't go back to real sleep at this hour so I'm tired.

Second- The school is nice. I made a friend (R.), French guy... He's so nice ! We're in the same class and it's so much fun with him. My cousin is here too, and it's a good opportunity to talk a bit with him -mostly about family, because I haven't been able to do so up till now.

Third - .... I miss my country. I miss the people there. I miss my culture. I miss my family. I miss my friends !
The people here... They're polite, but they're not nice. They're so closed on themselves... The other day, the father was like "Why would I need a passport ? I don't want to go abroad and since it's an island there's no risk of crossing a border".... And that made him laugh. What's funny ? Geez, you're not the best culture ever, you don't have everything, your country is not perfect !

... I just feel disappointed. I expected something... different. Nice people maybe, not the ones that litterally stare at you in the streets, or at least open people. I don't know.
