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.

Neccesary Shopping

I can do amazing shopping in the U.S. I don’t actually go shopping so often in Japan because I don’t want to spend money. However, I can’t help buying things here. One of the reasons I love the U.S. is shopping. I am so excited to go shopping here more than in Japan. A shopping in America is fantastic for three reasons. My Favorite Clothes of Holister First of all, there are many kinds of shops in Spokane. That means I have many choices to buy something. In Japan, I can’t buy easily things I want because Japan doesn’t have my favorite shops. In addition, I have to pay more in Japan than in America. If someone asks me my recommendation in America, I’d introduce incredible shops, such as Hollister , Bath and Body , Victoria’s Secret , and American Eagle , and Yankee. These shops are highly famous in the U.S, and I can't buy products of Hollister and Bath and body and Victoria’s Secret in Japan except online shopping. The other thing, I can visit other shops in Japan, but I’m s...

My Tremendous Portland Trip

Have you ever been to Portland? I could learn a lot of things in Portland. I like Portland so much. Especially, I enjoyed Portland English Language Academy, McLoughlin House and Powell's City of Books. First, Portland English Language Academy was an enjoyable place for me. Before I entered the class, I was really nervous, because I can't keep talking with people whom I meet for the first time. However, this time was totally different. I had an activity of conversation to talk with every student. It made me comfortable. After that activity, I had a conversation about students' research such as selfie and future jobs. It was really interesting for me because I could hear various opinions about that. Then, the teacher recommended international students to talk about three favorite places in Portland. I learned more about Portland. Those activities were really helpful for me to talk with international students. ...

My Precious Experience

The Awesome View at the Fair I have been having a good time since I came here. The teachers, RAs and staff at MFWI welcomed us warmly, so I was very happy and I am also happy now. My life at MFWI is little different from the last semester, but I'm really enjoying this life. Anyway, we went to the Spokane Interstate Fair on Tuesday, and I had wonderful experiences that I had never experienced before. The food was very appetizing. First, I was very hungry when we arrived there, so I ate a funnel cake, a big piece of chicken and some pizza. I had never eaten such a big cake and a piece of chicken, so I was excited and happy to eat them. They were very tasty, so I wanted to eat more food. Then, I noticed that a difference between America and Japan. Japanese festivals or fairs also have many branch stores and the food they serve...
