Amazing Fair

By
I had a wonderful experience when I went to The State Fair. Actually, it was second time to go to the fair in the USA because when I was summer program student, I went to the fair in Idaho. However, the Spokane fair was completely different than the Idaho fair because at first when I went to the Spokane fair, it was noon so all of the fair rides closed. The Idaho fair was a little boring. The Spokane fair was bustling and all of the fair rides were open! There are a lot of animals, different kind of  foods and people. It was like a festival. There were many surprising things for me.


Huge pumpkins
At first, when I saw a huge cup of Lemonade. I was really surprised at it. At the same time, I thought it is usual here but it is unusual for Japanese people. Also, other foods at the fair were big. If I don't control my appetite, it would be inevitable for me to gain my weight easily. However, I couldn't stop my appetite. I ate Teriyaki fried rice, clam chowder and ice cream. Those foods were delicious. I want to eat many American foods this semester.

Second, I saw big pumpkins there. I have never seen such big pumpkins. The biggest pumpkin can receive an award. However, those pumpkins are just for show and tell so no one should eat them. It was unexpected for me. American foods and vegetables are always bigger than Japanese ones. It makes me surprised and excited.

Thus, I had surprising and great experiences from I came here. It's third time to come here but I can get new experiences all of the time. Gradually, I would get used to speaking to American people and I feel improvement in my English skills. I am so excited to spend time here for about four month again.

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 ...

Fabulous Southwest Trip

By
    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

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...
