Fantastic Provincial Festival


I had exciting memories by using my five senses at a Spokane Interstate Fair. First, many great exhibitions moved me. When I entered the storehouse, massive pumpkins came into my view. I have never seen such giant pumpkins, which got a prize. There were not only pumpkins but also the other vegetables and fruit. I felt the crops were raised lovingly by farmers, and also the fair is for farmers to show off their year’s efforts.  Then I moved to an animal booth where there are various animals such as rabbits, goats, chickens, ducks and turkeys. In a part of the booth, we could touch a baby crocodile, turtles and rabbits. They made me feel peaceful.

Next, both of taste and sight of special foods excited me. Sadly, I hadn’t felt hungry at the time, so I didn’t eat any special food such as Gyros, funnel cake, some caramel apples. Even I didn’t get them, watching someone eating them was also fun. Judging from watching, a portion was big, and some sweets were colorful, so I really enjoyed seeing them. Besides the atmosphere was festive, lively, and a smell was very good, therefore, my stomach and mind got happy.

Finally, various shows entertained me with sound and sight. One of them is “Wool riders” which is a kind of competition to see how long a small child can wrap his arms around the sheep’s bodies without falling off. Some children fell down from the sheep quickly, but other children didn’t fall down, because they held on to the sheep very tightly. The audiences cheered and clapped for the brave children. I felt Americans’ warm personality and personality of funny loving.  I also enjoyed cheering and watching the event by being surrounded by local people. If I were the sheep, I would feel this event is very annoying. By the way, there were two old men who wore a cowboy costume with a horse doll and held a guitar on the road, they sang a song for us. They were friendly and the song was jolly. I had a really good time.

In conclusion, I really enjoyed the fair by using my five senses.

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...

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...
