Astonishing Experience

Fascinating Stand Glasses
Last Sunday I visited the church and I experienced intrigue the belief and the ritual. Recently, I am very interested in the spirit of humans because of my presentation topic, the Seven Gods for Fortune which is connected to Japanese religion. Though the research, I am so curious about the reason why people believe gods. Finally, I couldn't figure out the answer although I stood on the hall of the church. However, I was absolutely impressed by the church visiting.

First, I was amazed by the beautiful appearance of the church. The steeple stood out against the blue sky and seemed having long history. I realized the big difference between outside and inside. I felt like I can't chat with my friends easily after I entered there. The ceiling was so far from me and the sunshine lighten eight stand grasses which had marvelous colors. Many catholic greet peacefully. When I sat down on the long chair, I found that there were some books, the bible which fade away and some parts were teared. The guide told us about some of the articles were added later the church was established. I thought many people have handed over and came down the history of this church for a long time. I recognized that the church is so old and it is beyond my expect.

Next, the ritual in the church was solemn and fine. The whole of them was held smoothly, and I saw some of people smiled each other and parents stroked their children during the ritual. I thought how calm they were. The persist talked about the story of the sound which was mixed with the chorus and the organ moved me a lot. Their music was so luscious and mystic. Actually, I am not catholic or christian at all, but it seemed to make my spirit cleaned. However, sometime I was a little scared because I felt alienated. I think it is reasonable because I went to the church to observe and learn, but at the same time I also felt strong force. The people who believe god are eager for me. On the other hand, Japanese usually don't have their own specific religion, so I think there is no the interference among people. I don't know whether it is good or bad. However, I think it must be clear that the religion is pure and clean, but sometimes it's possible for it to have unlimited power.

It was the first time for me to experience such a sacred time. Though the church visiting, I was getting more interested in the religion. I would like to talk with the catholics or the Christians and I want to know what they think and act to believe gods.

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...
