Inconceivable shopping

I have many hobbies such as listening to music, going to movie, talking with my friends, especially going shopping. I often go shopping in Japan, actually I'm enjoying going shopping in America. I have experienced unbelievable shopping.

First, the size is huge in the stores. When I went to Walmart for the first time, I was surprised that the shopping cart is twice the size of one in Japan. I thought I could get on the cart. I couldn't move it very well. I also noticed that we put goods in a shopping cart directly in America, but Japanese often use a shopping basket. We put our shopping basket in our shopping cart, and then we put goods in our shopping basket or we use our shopping basket only. Of course, I was surprised size of food, too. I'm sure that I can't see such big size in Japan. I have never seen such big milk, yogurt, pizza, snacks and so on in Japan. I can share these big food with my roommate, and we can use a shopping cart together.

useful Walmart and delightful Valley Mall
Second, I can't believe that merchandise is sometimes broken. When I went to a clothes shop, I found a ring that I wanted to buy. I took it in my hand, but it was broken. There was not enough accessories on the ring. They had come off the ring. I tried to find another one, but I couldn't find one. I thought it couldn't be helped, but when I went to the different shop. I experienced the same things again. I found a pair of sandals, but the mate had no button. I could not wear it. If a broken part is small, I can understand, however these broken things had big faults. In Japan, it doesn't happen.

Finally, I often see joyful signs. For example, I see "Buy one, Get one Free." It's a good sale. I can sense it's profitable. In Japan, a sale isn't held many times. I want this system in Japan, but I have to be careful about this sign, or I will buy many goods even if they are not a necessity.

I experience many incredible things when shopping in Spokane. They sometimes confuse me, but I can enjoy them. I want to go shopping more and experience a lot of new things here.

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 ...

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 ...

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...
