I enjoyed and learn American culture such as food, exhibitions, and ride
at Spokane Interstate Fair.
First of all, I ate Gyros and Elephant Ear.
Gyros is a kind of Greek food with meat and vegetables. It was delicious. The meat was lamb. Although it
was a first experience to eat lamb, it was so tasty. I ate an Elephant Ear as well. It is not a real “elephant
ear”; it is dough with powdered cinnamon and sugar. It was so big, but I ate the whole of thing
with my roommate. After we finished eating, we were astonished at our appetite. Next, I saw many
exhibitions, because one of my teacher recommended me to see that. I learned the exhibition was held
by “4-H”. “4-H” is an organization like girl scouts. It gives some children many experiences to cook, and
to learn nutrition. One of the exhibition booths is a competition of big vegetables. I saw
surprisingly huge pumpkins. Finally, I
rode a ride. We get into a thing like a cage and turn it many times. It
looks more dangerous than Japanese ones so I wasn’t willing to ride, but I supposed it might be a good
experience for me. I rode on it with my friend.
On the ride, she screamed and finally cried. On the other
hand, I enjoyed it very much at last, because I saw a beautiful moon and sights on the top of the
ride. Spokane Interstate Fair was so fun and taught me a lot of American culture.
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...
