Wonderful River Clean-up

picking up dirty trash

I had a really wonderful time with the Extension students, Timothy's friends and Timothy during Spokane River Clean-up volunteering on Saturday. A few weeks ago, during Language and Cultural day, One a man who was a guest told us about the details of Spokane River Clean-Up. It was impressive for me, so I decided to join this volunteer activity. However, I always thought that the Spokane river is very beautiful. I didn't think that there was a tons of trash near the Spokane river. On the day of Spokane River Clean-up, the weather was wonderful. I walked a long the side of the Spokane river. It was really beautiful, I couldn't find trash at first, but I walked closer to river, I found a lot of peaces of glass. I was disappointed when I found these things, because I have never thought that there is tons of trash near the Spokane river. I picked up a lot of peaces of glass, paper and cigarette butt. One child who was volunteering picked up wet blanket from river. Wet blanket was very heavy. Yuri, Natsumi and I helped him. His family was a MFWI host family before. He had already know about us, and he talked about his school life with us. I had a great time talking with him and my group members. It is necessary to cooperate with Spokane citizens to keep the river clean. I think it is important thing to do this activity. I really enjoyed volunteering during Spokane River clean-up on Saturday.

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...

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 ...

Completely amazing trip

I had a good time visiting the Southwest USA with Extension students from 15 to 21, October. It was an education trip and I experienced new things and there was a lot of nature which is comfortable for me. I was looking forward to going on the Southwest trip for a long time. I have image that the Southwest is very hot but this place was cold than Spokane. It was interesting that the temperature was totally different in the same place. There were three emotions that I experienced on this trip. First, I was moved by the beautiful landscape of the Grand Canyon. It is absolutely enormous. When I look down the cliff, I remembered the teacher's caution for us that there are lots of people who die and I scared. I and my roommate wanted to see the sunrise so we tried to got up at 4:00 a.m. and then we could see the sunrise which was really fabulous. After that, we decided to rent a bicycle but we changed our mind and because we had lots of time. Surprisingly, we walked 10 miles aro...
