Enjoyable Experience

Last week, MFWI students enjoyed Spokane County Fair. There were many wonderful and exciting things at Spokane County Fair. I saw many kinds of rides included roller coasters, food and shops. I was so excited. I thought these are different from Japanese culture. 

Exciting Rides
First, I rode 5 rides there, and I noticed 2 differences. The first is that almost all the rides were turning around. While I rode them, the machines were revolving, so I felt bad after I got off them. In Japan, there are many machines like them, but they are not always revolving. Sometimes the machine's action changes. Because of this, most people don't feel bad after getting off it. Additionally, the lit up rides in Spokane were so beautiful. I think these are more beautiful than Japanese ones.
Tasty
Second, I saw many kinds of food there. The food was different in Spokane. I smelled many kinds of delicious food. I ate a Pulled Pork Sandwich, and it tasted a little sweet and meat was very tender. I also saw other people's food, and I was surprised at the quantity. I thought I couldn't eat all of it if I ordered it. Also, doughnuts and waffles were too sweet for me. I noticed that the food was exactly fattening and greasy. Of course, Japanese food is healthier than American food. I couldn't understand why American people were able to ride the rides after they ate the greasy food.
Nice Music
Finally, I dropped in at many shops there, and I noticed differences. I was surprised that there were Japanese animation's goods there. I thought these goods didn't sell so much in Japan. I think these are rare goods. I found the shop which sold cowboy hats. The shop reminded me of American history. Also, I found the shop which sold American cultural items, and next to the shop, people performed with American traditional instruments. In addition, I found a tattoo shop there. In Japan, the tattoo is not good, so I have never seen these kinds of shops at the amusement park. I was so surprised. Many shops reminded me of American culture.
In these things, I experienced American culture while I enjoyed food, shopping and rides. These surprised and delighted me a lot. Also, I learned differences between America and Japan.

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
