Unexpectedly Interesting Fair

I had a really great experience at the Spokane Interstate fair in America. Japanese fairs are very different than the ones in America. I found many exciting different points.

First, Japanese fairs sell many special local products and the fair do not have roller coasters, just stores and a few attractions for kids. So when I head about the fair in my reading class, I thought that American fairs and Japanese fairs would have the same situations. I thought the American fairs may be flashier than the fair in Japan but it was very different!

I thought the Spokane fair was very crazy because it had many livestock (different animals) and it was like a farm. Also all food sizes were too big, for example the elephant ear, juice (we can order as much juice as we like.), popcorn, and hamburger. Additionally, most of the rides looked very scary. I like scary roller coasters and eating but these were unusual for me so I always laughed out loud, "Ha ha!". When I rode the roller coasters at the Spokane fair I would shout very loud because they are very fun. These roller coasters are very addictive and I want to ride them again. Spokane fair given me new culture things. These things make me awesome. I hope Japanese fairs mimic a Spokane fair.

I had a fateful encounter in the fair. I met a Japanese staff person. She told me a lot of information about the fair and she knew MFWI because her friend graduated from MWU, MFWI and SFCC. I was really surprised! I had never met a Japanese staff person in Spokane. Also, her friend and I went to the same university. It was a rare situation. I received a valuable advice from her. 

I think America is a good and crazy country and it never bores anyone.

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 ...

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...
