Amazing Spokane Fair


I was surprised when I went to the Spokane Country Fair this week, because there were a lot of differences to fairs or festivals in Japan. It was the wonderful time. I enjoyed crazy rides, delicious foods, and window shopping.

First of all, the rides were really crazy. I described they are crazy, because I was really scared riding them. There were a lot of rides. For example, roller coasters, Viking, and so on. We don’t have Carnival Rides in Japan, so I couldn’t believe that they moved so quickly from place to place. Almost all the rides were scary rides, but I was fine. However only one ride made me scared and I felt bad. I forgot that ride’s name, because I didn’t have inner reserves to notice that name. I entered the small box with my friend. Suddenly the box turned round and round and shook and shook and shook...I can’t describe it correctly, but my friend just said “It was violent.” I injured my back. In Japan I have never seen such a crazy ride and I never want to ride that again.

Second, I ate a lot of delicious and unexpected foods. I was surprised, because we don’t have such international food shops at Japanese festivals. I saw a lot of shops that sold pizza, hamburger, roasted corn, kebabs, elephant ears, pasta, tortilla etc. I ate a roasted corn and a pumpkin donut. The roasted corn was really sweet and delicious. My friends ate big hamburgers. Although I regret a little that I didn’t eat elephant ears, because we don’t have that in Japan. If I have a chance to eat elephant ears in the USA, I want to try them the next time. We enjoyed the food very much.

Third, I saw a lot of different shops that sold various things. Some shops sold traditional clothes, some shops sold appliances and some shops sold toys. There was no unity, but that the chaotic atmosphere made me excited. I didn’t buy anything, but I enjoyed window shopping. Some clerks spoken to us and we also enjoyed talking with them. It was a good experience for me to talk with people who are not related to MFWI. All of these shops were really interesting.

There were a lot of surprising things at the fair and I was exhausted after coming back to the dorm. I enjoyed this Country Fair very much. All people laughed and I also laughed a lot. I want to go to Country Fair again, but hopefully the weekend is better.

Neccesary Shopping

I can do amazing shopping in the U.S. I don’t actually go shopping so often in Japan because I don’t want to spend money. However, I can’t help buying things here. One of the reasons I love the U.S. is shopping. I am so excited to go shopping here more than in Japan. A shopping in America is fantastic for three reasons. My Favorite Clothes of Holister First of all, there are many kinds of shops in Spokane. That means I have many choices to buy something. In Japan, I can’t buy easily things I want because Japan doesn’t have my favorite shops. In addition, I have to pay more in Japan than in America. If someone asks me my recommendation in America, I’d introduce incredible shops, such as Hollister , Bath and Body , Victoria’s Secret , and American Eagle , and Yankee. These shops are highly famous in the U.S, and I can't buy products of Hollister and Bath and body and Victoria’s Secret in Japan except online shopping. The other thing, I can visit other shops in Japan, but I’m s...

My Tremendous Portland Trip

     Have you ever been to Portland? I could learn a lot of things in Portland. I like Portland so much. Especially, I enjoyed Portland English Language Academy, McLoughlin House and Powell's City of Books.      First, Portland English Language Academy was an enjoyable place for me. Before I entered the class, I was really nervous, because I can't keep talking with people whom I meet for the first time. However, this time was totally different. I had an activity of conversation to talk with every student. It made me comfortable. After that activity, I had a conversation about students' research such as selfie and future jobs. It was really interesting for me because I could hear various opinions about that. Then, the teacher recommended international students to talk about three favorite places in Portland. I learned more about Portland. Those activities were really helpful for me to talk with international students.   ...

My Precious Experience

 The Awesome View at the Fair I have been having a good time since I came here. The teachers, RAs and staff at MFWI welcomed us warmly, so I was very happy and I am also happy now. My life at MFWI is little different from the last semester, but I'm really enjoying this life. Anyway, we went to  the Spokane Interstate Fair  on Tuesday, and I had wonderful experiences that I had never experienced before.  The food was very appetizing. First, I was very hungry when we arrived there, so I ate a funnel cake, a big piece of chicken and some pizza. I had never eaten such a big cake and a piece of chicken, so I was excited and happy to eat them. They were very tasty, so I wanted to eat more food. Then, I noticed that a difference between America and Japan. Japanese festivals or fairs also have many branch stores and the food they serve...
