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.

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...
