Incredible Sizes

I can’t believe that it has been more than a week since I came back to MFWI. Now, I have been very surprised at “American sizes” again. Almost all of the things are very big for me, because I am small. I want to tell you about 2 sizes which surprised me most.

First, I was surprised at size of people. When I rode on plane from Japan, a man who is a high school teacher in Oregon sat across from me. He had a massive frame. He taught English to high school students in Osaka. In the plane, he talked to me about Japanese English, how we should study other languages, and so on. His story was agreeable and profoundly interesting. While I slept on the plane at night, I was woken up by his motion because he is bigger than the average of Japanese. The economy seat was too small for his big body. I felt that I was shorter than usual sitting by him.

Next, I was surprised at the sizes of the ride at Spokane Country Interstate Fair. I felt “American size” again when I went to there. At the fair I had a very good time with my group members. I really enjoyed going on all sorts of rides there. I love roller coasters, so I tried to ride on these. However every seat was too big for me, and safety belt couldn't keep me on the seat! When I rode a roll coaster, it stopped on top. Then, our seat was inverted! My hip could move just a little bit, so I kept holding by my feet and hands. When the riding went down abrupt, my body flew, so I felt terrible. “American size” was very big for me, however I could really enjoyed this ride, and I felt that I may be very small in America.

I was astonished by the sizes here, and I took notice that I am small. However I want to enjoy the sizes while I stay in America as an Extension student.

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 chip

Really Faburous Southwest Trip

I had an absolutely amazing experience on the Southwest trip in mid-October. I enjoyed a good deal of beautiful scenery of nature and city areas, delicious food and performances, and culture. I spent a lot of wonderful time with my friends and teachers in Santa Fe, Black Bart’s Restaurant and the Grand Canyon. I enjoyed a good deal of beautiful scenery of nature and city, delicious food and performance, and culture. First, my one of impressive places was Santa Fe Plaza. There were brown houses and buildings made of adobe, and the doors and window frames and decorations were colorful. I like passionate red and turquoise blue color because these colors match the adobe brown color. Also, there were many gift shops in the Plaza, and we could find a lot of native Americans gifts such as dream catchers, pottery, fabrics, unique fashion accessories, dishes, and traditional clothes. I bought a dreamcatcher, some pretty earrings, a ring, and postcards, so I was very happy. It rained at nig

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
