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.
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 ...
