Tremendous Encounter

The funny man who is playing the harmonica 
It’s been about two weeks since I came back to Spokane, and I have met a lot of people who live here. They are so nice, charming, and interested in us. Also, I was touched by them.

First of all, I met a man who has lived in Spokane for 63 years when I went downtown. I was just walking outside at River Park Square after having magnificent lunch, then I met a man. He was playing the harmonica, and he made everybody feel warm and happy. Also, there were a lot of pictures which were drawn by the man with color chalk on the side walk next to him. According to what I heard, he was an office worker, and he enjoys entertaining people after he retired. I told him that I came back to America to learn English, then he gave me a piece of great advice. That was, “In all matters, having fun is important!” I think it means having fun helps me keep trying and never give up because it is fun. He was persuasive because he looked happy and gave off a radiance. Therefore, I think I will keep trying to learn English with fun!

Then, I met a beautiful Japanese woman at the Fair. She has lived in Spokane near MFWI since she got married to American. She is kind of bilingual right now, but she said that she had tough life at first because of language problems. However, as she talked a lot in English, her language problems were resolved. She said, “You should value this chance to get involved with people in America and talk with them in English.” I felt again I should value my chance to obtain a lot of things while I’m here.

In short, I met great people even though just two weeks has passed since I came back to here. I feel happy when I have a good time with someone, and I'm glad to come back when I can talk with American people in English. Therefore, I'm so excited that I can meet lots of people in America.

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 chip

My most Amazing Three Memories of the Southwest Trip

Last week, I went to the Southwest with all of the Extension students. Before the trip, we learned about history and culture of the Southwest in American west class. So I was looking forward to going on the Southwest trip. But I couldn’t imagine that I could get a lot of memories and experiences on this trip. During this time, we went to New Mexico and Arizona. In New Mexico, I went to Santa Fe and New Mexico University. After that, I went to the Grand Canyon in Arizona. Each place has different culture and geography. So I was really surprised and impressed by them. Finally, I got three most amazing memories of the Southwest Trip. First, one of my most amazing memories of South West Trip was downtown in Santa Fe. First of all, I was really impressed by Adobe buildings. I had never seen Adobe buildings before and I thought their design was totally different design from Spokane. The color of the adobe was brown and some of the walls were turquoise blue. So there were a lot of com

Really Faburous Southwest Trip

I had an absolutely amazing experience on the Southwest trip in mid-October. I enjoyed a good deal of beautiful scenery of nature and city areas, delicious food and performances, and culture. I spent a lot of wonderful time with my friends and teachers in Santa Fe, Black Bart’s Restaurant and the Grand Canyon. I enjoyed a good deal of beautiful scenery of nature and city, delicious food and performance, and culture. First, my one of impressive places was Santa Fe Plaza. There were brown houses and buildings made of adobe, and the doors and window frames and decorations were colorful. I like passionate red and turquoise blue color because these colors match the adobe brown color. Also, there were many gift shops in the Plaza, and we could find a lot of native Americans gifts such as dream catchers, pottery, fabrics, unique fashion accessories, dishes, and traditional clothes. I bought a dreamcatcher, some pretty earrings, a ring, and postcards, so I was very happy. It rained at nig
