Surprising Differences at the Spokane County Fair


exciting roller coasters
I really enjoyed the Spokane County Fair. I was surprised because it was in very big area and very lively. There were many people from children to older people there. They seem to be happy. I experienced for the first time the fair style of America. Many things were different from festival and fair of Japan.


cute sheep
First, I heard that many people bring animals such as cows, sheeps, and horses they made or raised, this is different from that in Japan.  I was looking forward to seeing this area. There were many more animals than I thought. They like people, so they stuck their head out of gates. Many people gave them to animal food which is sold for $2. My most favorite animal in the area was sheep because their wool seemed to be soft. Moreover, I was surprised that a lot of different kinds of sheep came to the event. I have never seen such an area in Japanese amusement park.


big cotton candy
Second, there were unique foods there. I bought a small cotton candy. Cotton candy of Japan is white, but in this fair, it was colored with blue and pink. When I ate it, I was surprised because it was too sweeter than that of Japan. I ate Teriyaki noodle, they included big vegetables. It has a strong taste, but it was delicious. I also ate elephant ears. At first, I could not imagine it from the words what kind of taste it was. The sizes of the fair’s foods were all big, but I enjoyed everything.


Finally, I enjoyed watching unique exhibition. My most impressive exhibition was fireplace. It was very cold, so this area was comfortable. I could not move from the area.  I regretted that I should have brought my coat. I was surprised because there were shower room, Jacuzzi, and car exhibitions. These were sold for expensive price. I wondered who buys these things and why are there such things there.


I had a great time there, and it will be memorable event. It was good opportunity to experience various unique things. I would like to go to another American fair.

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
