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.

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 ...

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...

My Unbelievable Southwest Trip

I experienced a lot of amazing things for seven days with my absolutely wonderful teachers and friends from October 15-21 and learned a lot of Southwest culture, history, and nature. For example, we went to about 12 museums and facilities, such as the Pueblo Cultural Center, the University of Mexico, and some churches in New Mexico and Arizona. Therefore, I kept busy on the trip, but it became something I have never experienced because everything I saw was new to me. There are three things that especially impressed me. First, I was attracted to the buildings of New Mexico. These were really different from Spokane, Boston, or Washington D.C. For example, I went to Old Town in Albuquerque. Then I noticed that almost all the buildings were made of adobe. Adobe means mud brick in Spanish, so the buildings I saw were brown and some parts were air blue. I felt comfortable there. I also saw a plaza and a church which were adobe style buildings. The plaza is the most central part in Old T...
