Fantastic Fair

By
Amazing Amusement
I have experienced some interesting things in America. One of them was at the state fair. The fair had many farm products like jams, and vegetables. I could see many kinds of farm animals such as pigs, cows, horses, and goats. I especially experienced three fantastic things there.

First, I was surprised at the size of the foods. I knew that foods in America are always big from my experiences in regular program last semester. However I was amazed again. I bought a Funnel cake, but I shared it with my friends because of its huge size. Although it was too huge, I could enjoy it. It was delicious. Also I was surprised at the popcorn. A sack of popcorn was very big. I have never seen such sizes, so I was shocked.

Second, I was excited about the rides at the fair. There were a lot of interesting rides. At first, they looked very dangerous, but I tried riding one of them with my friend. The ride kept spinning for a long time. Its name is zipper. It was amazing! We kept crying while we rode it. I have never seen or ridden such an interesting ride before. I was happy to experience new feeling in America.

Finally, I was surprised at the weather and clothes which Americans wore. When we went to the fair, it was a very cold day for me. In addition to that, it was held in the evening. Although I wore a sweater, I was cold. However some Americans wore T-shirts and short pants. It was difficult for me to understand. Also I thought they were brave. The weather and clothes were so different than any festival in Japan.

Wonderful State Fair
Those experiences are really interesting and wonderful for me because I can feel the cultural difference between Japan and America. I can see many things which are not in japan. I was happy to take part in the fair and enjoyed it. All in all, the fair was fantastic for me.

My Valuable Southwest Trip

By
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

By
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

By
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...
