The astonishing idea!

Exciting time in the bus to the fair!

I had the stupefying discovery in Spokane County Interstate Fair last Wednesday. It was the first time for me to go to fair in America, so I saw all the things which fascinated my interest. During summer vacation, I went to a summer fireworks festival in Ashiya city, but I am used to going to the Japanese festival. I didn't have more interesting things doing summer. However, I really like festivals, events and fair, so I was looking forward to going this fair. My teacher who is Brenda suggested that I tried to eat a elephant ear. When I have heard the first the name , so I doubted her words. I had never heard such a kind of food, I imagined a real elephant ear. I thought it was terrible food, I couldn't believe it. After I asked her many questions about the elephant ear, I knew this like a real elephant ear. I was really relieved. After all, I ate the elephant ear at the fair. It was very delicious. When I bought it, a shocking thing happened. I said the clerk " please, one elephant ear." The clerk answered " ear one, right?". I astonished the answer and amazing! Also, there are also strange foods in Japan such as mimigar. Mimi means ears in Japanese, and mimigar is a food name. This food is traditional food in Okinawa. It was made by pig's ears. However, we don't say "mimi, please.". If we said it, the Japanese clerk would be surprised. We generally don't say the name of body parts. Japanese people think it strange and horrible. The reason we feel horror is we may think it giving someone real ears. It makes you unpleasant, so you don't have to say the words which are related to body parts in Japan. The difference of thinking between American and Japanese is astonishing for me.

Unforgettable Southwest Trip

I went on a totally amazing Southwest trip with my classmates. The trip was my first time to go to the Southwest so everything was new to me. Sarah, Anikke and Bethany came with us. They made our trip more exciting. I’m happy I could go on this trip with them and I had a lot of great experiences. First, I really enjoyed New Mexico. It was chilly but not too cold. I went to the Old Town in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I liked the Old Town because there are many cute things and good restaurants in there. For example, I found a gate that was decorated with a lot of red chili peppers. I had never seen anything like that before so I was very surprised and it looked like a lot of flowers from a distance. The red chili peppers were absolutely gorgeous. Not only that, I found a great restaurant. I forgot the name of the restaurant but they have really delicious Mexican food. They gave me some Mexican chips for free and recommended that I eat the chips with honey. I really like Mexican chip

Really Faburous Southwest Trip

I had an absolutely amazing experience on the Southwest trip in mid-October. I enjoyed a good deal of beautiful scenery of nature and city areas, delicious food and performances, and culture. I spent a lot of wonderful time with my friends and teachers in Santa Fe, Black Bart’s Restaurant and the Grand Canyon. I enjoyed a good deal of beautiful scenery of nature and city, delicious food and performance, and culture. First, my one of impressive places was Santa Fe Plaza. There were brown houses and buildings made of adobe, and the doors and window frames and decorations were colorful. I like passionate red and turquoise blue color because these colors match the adobe brown color. Also, there were many gift shops in the Plaza, and we could find a lot of native Americans gifts such as dream catchers, pottery, fabrics, unique fashion accessories, dishes, and traditional clothes. I bought a dreamcatcher, some pretty earrings, a ring, and postcards, so I was very happy. It rained at nig

My Valuable Southwest Trip

Last week, we took a trip to the Southwest for 7 days. This trip was an absolutely wonderful memory. I had never been to these areas so I was stimulated by every things, for example, cactus, adobe style buildings, Native American culture and amazing dessert views. It is one of the most interesting trips I ever took, because I experienced some rare things like visiting Grand Canyon, visiting high school and so on. On this trip I could understand about Indian culture from a folk art museum. I would like to introduce some my best memories on this Southwest trip. My first best memory is Georgia O’Keef museum. Actually, before this trip, I was not familiar with her and didn’t know about any of her artworks, but I was looking forward to visiting here because I like art museums. Her artworks were very unique, abstract and absolutely fabulous, and these were very fresh to me. I especially liked bone’s paintings which one of the most famous her artwork, because the color contrast is very c
