Differences from Japan

Mika Suehiro

The Southwest trip was wonderful and meaningful trip. There were so many different points compared with Japanese culture and nature. There are 6 examples of the most interesting different points.

First, this building is very unusual style in Japan. The name is adobe. Inside of this building is cool, so it's suitable for the hot climate. Outside of building is looks so cute. Almost all buildings were adobe in New Mexico.

Second, on the 4^th day we went Black Barts. This restaurant not only provide food, but also show us concert. The restaurant staff sings many kind of songs. Sometimes all staff sing songs! It was almost musical. This is very unusual style of restaurant in Japan.

Third, Sagualo cactus is very unusual plant in Japan. It grows only warm climate. There are so many cactus not only flat land but also on the mountain. This cactus lives 200 years. Sagualo cactus is one of the biggest cactus in the world. We can’t see wild cactus in Japan.

Forth, Grand Canyon was so big. This scenery doesn’t exist in Japan. It tells us the power of earth, huge sky and endless red rocks. It was registered as world heritages in 1979.

Fifth, it was kind of rain, but rain became air before it arrive on the ground. It never happen in Japan because of humid. But in the too much dry air, it often happen, said my teacher. This phenomenon makes us surprised.

Finally, Santa Fe was so attractive town. There are so many shops, restaurants and museums. For example, jewelry shop, souvenir shop, and so on. They also sell turquoise accessories. Sun set view was so nice.

In conclusion, we learned many differences from Japan during trip, such as nature, architecture, character of people, and cheerful atmosphere. There are all wonderful culture. Moreover it was the most meaningful and unforgettable trip of MFWI.

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

My Valuable Southwest Trip

Last week, we took a trip to the Southwest for 7 days. This trip was an absolutely wonderful memory. I had never been to these areas so I was stimulated by every things, for example, cactus, adobe style buildings, Native American culture and amazing dessert views. It is one of the most interesting trips I ever took, because I experienced some rare things like visiting Grand Canyon, visiting high school and so on. On this trip I could understand about Indian culture from a folk art museum. I would like to introduce some my best memories on this Southwest trip. My first best memory is Georgia O’Keef museum. Actually, before this trip, I was not familiar with her and didn’t know about any of her artworks, but I was looking forward to visiting here because I like art museums. Her artworks were very unique, abstract and absolutely fabulous, and these were very fresh to me. I especially liked bone’s paintings which one of the most famous her artwork, because the color contrast is very c
