My wonderful expressions at the Spokane County Fair


★Steak hamburger shop★
September 15, 2015, I went to the Spokane County Fair and experienced wonderful things. I was very excited because a lot of things, such as delicious food, attraction, cute animals, interesting market, and great music attracted me! There are three experiences for me.


At first, soon after we arrived at the Spokane Country Fair, we noticed great smell soon. The great smell’s identify was a big steak hamburger. Before arriving the Fair, we decided to ride roller coaster first, but we changed our mind soon because the hamburger smell attracted us and we couldn’t bear it. Therefore, we went to hamburger shop quickly. When we arrived at the shop, there was a long line in front of hamburger shop. As I thought, the big steak hamburger was very delicious and it is medium rare. My friend gave me a peace of pumpkin doughnut. It was also freshly hot, sweet, and very delicious! All foods were very delicious!

★Beautiful Merry-go-round★
After eating the hamburger, we road many kind of roller coasters. Surprisingly, those were built for this fair. I like roller coasters, but actually, I am always scared of them. Therefore, although I lined up for the very scary roller coaster with my friends, at first sight, I gave up soon with fear. My friends also gave up. Therefore, finally I rode roller coaster for children with my RA. In this attraction, we needed arm strain like training machine. It was moderate fear and excitement for us. But we were a little tired.

Next is Cultural observations. At the Spokane Country Fair, I noticed that in America, people can have a tattoo. In addition, there is painting tattoo. Probably, it is for children. Tattoos are very common in America. Now I am studying about body modification such as tattoo and piercing in my class and I had never seen tattoo shop in Japan. Therefore, it is very interesting for me. My friends and I were very surprised! In the market, many items were sold such as frying pan, jewelry, pictures, and toys. But surprisingly, bath tubs was also sold! But I thought that it is like Japanese flea market. At an exit of the market, I saw some people singing ethnic songs. Their songs were indefinitely mysterious and beautiful. The cultural observations that I found in this Fair are very attractive for me. It is very interesting.

At the Spokane Country Fair, I was very excited and at the same time, I learned about American original festivals and culture. I realized that American festivals are a little from Japanese festivals, but each festival is awesome! I want to experience American festivals more. American festivals make me happy.

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
