Pleasing Portland Trip

We extension students went on a trip in Portland from November 13^th to 16^th. I really like to visit the places that I've never been and I don't know, and Portland was also one of them. We visited many places and did various things. I had a delightful time on this Portland trip. I really came to like Portland because there are a lot of natures and the towns are beautiful. Through this trip, I had wonderful experiences, and had many fantastic memories, such as visiting International students, a wonderful book store, and fantastic falls.

Fantastic Portland Trip

First, I had a wonderful encounter visiting students at Columbia Basin College (CBC). We mixed with the students who study Japanese in CBC. I made a fabulous friend there. She is a high school student but she also takes 3 classes at CBC at the same time. She is very interested in Japan, and she is skillful at Japanese. She really inspired me, and I enjoyed talking with her. I was glad to have opportunity to talk about my presentation topic, and hear what she wants to know or some questions about it. Meeting her was one of my fabulous memories on this trip.

Next, I had a very interesting experience. We went to Powell’s Book Store in Portland. There are a lot of kinds of corners, and books like novels, comics, magazines, picture books, and so on. It was like a jungle of books! I was glad that many mangas which are familiar to us are translated from Japanese to English, and they were liked reading by people all over the world. Also, I found the some kind of Japanese tour books and they are so stimulating. In the book that I bought, many Japanese sightseeing spots, famous food, and cultures are introduced from American angles, and that was very interested to me. I had a very valuable time at the Powell’s Book Store.

Finally, I was moved by Multnomah Falls. I like to see the beautiful nature, so I was very excited to see magnificent falls, and it was grander and more beautiful than I expected. However, we couldn't hike and go up because of the snow and wind. There are a lot of snow and the stream was frozen, and the view was mystic. It was pretty cold, but I still enjoyed seeing the beautiful scenery. I felt the fall is one of the precious things in Portland.

In conclusion, this trip was so much fun and I could enjoy it immensely. This trip was very fulfilled with meeting a great friend, having a great experience, and seeing the beautiful nature. Also, I came to like Portland, and I can understand Portland is the best city that American want to live in. I want to say than you to Portland that gave me a lot of pleasure and good memories, and I want to go there again.

My Valuable Southwest Trip

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...

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 ...

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...
