Delightful Experience at Washington State University

I had a lovely time during WSU visit on October 12. I have two great memories in this Visiting. First of all, we went to really high mountain before we went to WSU. Ron and Timothy took us there. I haven't been to such a high mountain for long time, so it was truly impressive. I could see some beautiful scenery from the top of the high mountain such as trees and plains. The landscape made me think about the Southwest Trip because I am about to go to Grand Canyon. I noticed that America has a lot of geography features. There are city, ocean, mountains, rivers, lakes and so on. We can see or experience that directly. I felt happy that I am staying in the U.S.A.

Second, I enjoyed communicating with foreigner at WSU. They are Taiwanese, Chinese and Saudi. We are about same ages. A Taiwanese girl I met can speak Japanese a little. She is interested in Japan, because she likes Japanese comics and anime. We talked about our favorite comic a lot. I asked her " Why do you know Japanese words or sentences?". She answered me, "by Watching anime!" I was really surprised because of her knowledge of comics. I also felt comfortable speaking to her. Moreover, this Taiwanese girl was so kind. She can speak English very well, so I talked to her about a lot of things such as own country, her boyfriend, each of our lives in America and so on.  When I talked to a Saudi man, I couldn't understand and hear their pronunciation. It was very different from our pronunciation. However, the Taiwanese girl supported us, so we could understand each other. Everybody were very talkative. One Saudi man is not good at English, but he tried to speak to me. I was really happy his attitude. After I returned my dormitory, I considered my own English and I felt that I can tell my opinion to people from another country. I don't have enough skills of vocabulary, grammar, listening and speaking, but we could share the same feelings. I was impressed by this. Visiting and communicating with international students was a cracking memory 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 ...

Fabulous Southwest Trip

    The Southwest trip was absolutely amazing because I leaned the culture of the area a lot. I spent 7 days in the southwest and I impressed by people who live there and by their culture. These things were totally different from Japan and the people there preserved their traditions carefully. I talk to a lot of Americans and I saw wonderful nature during the trip. There are three absolutely wonderfu and amazing places that I enjoyed.     First, I went to a lot of museums and all of them were very interesting. I especially liked The Museum of International Folk Art. The museum has more than 130,000 objects from more than 100 countries! My favorite object was a smiling skeleton doll. This object’s theme was Day of The Dead. When I saw it, I remembered COCO which is a Pixar movie. I also liked The Georgia O’Keeffe Museum. Georgia O’Keeffe was an American artist and she painted a lot of flowers and nature. I think her paintings are brimming with kindness ...

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...
