Best Trip Ever

By
The Southwest Trip was absolutely wonderful. The Southwest culture was really cool and there were so many beautiful places. Each place showed deep, great history of people, nature and art. The southwest culture, especially Acoma was special and completely different from any place. There are 4 beautiful places that showed lots of brilliant history and fascinating culture. 

First, Santa Fe was totally amazing. I liked adobe buildings so much because they all looked so pretty. I could go and see many places, such as the oldest church in the U.S. and some famous museums, and I learned a lot of history. There were many people around the Plaza selling the jewelry which is made by them. So, I really enjoyed learning their culture, shopping and beautiful scenery in Santa Fe.

Next, Acoma was incredibly wonderful place. We visited Sky City, which was a super valuable experience. Acoma was completely different from Spokane, and I was really surprised that people are still living in such a historical place. There were only adobe buildings, and many artists were selling their arts, like pottery and beaded jewelry made by them. I leaned about the history of Native Americans, and visiting Acoma was a precious time for me.

Then, the Grand Canyon was extremely and incredibly magnificent. I had never been to such a beautiful place, and I had a really wonderful time at the Grand Canyon. I went to see the sunrise with my group members, which was an unforgettable memory for me because it was not the same as usual; it was brilliant. I also learned the history of the Grand Canyon, like how was made and how old it is, and it was really interesting.

At the Grand Canyon, I especially enjoyed cycling and having a picnic with my group members. Cycling in the beautiful nature was a really pleasant time because I could feel nature more than walking. Also, having a picnic, which is a brilliant idea, was super fun. While on a picnic I saw four elk from very close distance, and it was one of special experiences of this trip. So, I could feel the great nature of the Grand Canyon a lot.


Finally, the saguaro cactus was really huge and I felt the amazing history of nature again. It was much bigger than I expected, so I was so surprised when I stood next to that cactus. This is a big group picture with all extension students, and I really like this picture. Everyone looks very small because of this big cactus as if it is a composite photograph. So, I learned how nature is magnificent and important in the Southwest.

In conclusion, I had an amazing time visiting many beautiful places, seeing wonderful scenery, and learning lots of fabulous history of culture and nature. I was really happy to go on this trip as an extension student, and I will work harder than before because I got lots of power and energy trough this trip. I want to thank everyone who gave me such a great opportunity.

Fabulous Southwest Trip

By
    The Southwest trip was absolutely amazing because I leaned the culture of the area a lot. I spent 7 days in the southwest and I impressed by people who live there and by their culture. These things were totally different from Japan and the people there preserved their traditions carefully. I talk to a lot of Americans and I saw wonderful nature during the trip. There are three absolutely wonderfu and amazing places that I enjoyed.     First, I went to a lot of museums and all of them were very interesting. I especially liked The Museum of International Folk Art. The museum has more than 130,000 objects from more than 100 countries! My favorite object was a smiling skeleton doll. This object’s theme was Day of The Dead. When I saw it, I remembered COCO which is a Pixar movie. I also liked The Georgia O’Keeffe Museum. Georgia O’Keeffe was an American artist and she painted a lot of flowers and nature. I think her paintings are brimming with kindness ...

Respectable Voice of The Japanese American

By
Respectable Voice of The Japanese American Chisato Fujii             When I saw this poem, I felt strong feeling of this poet like “I am an American,” and I also felt this poet’s voice like “Why am I not treated as an American?” I’ve never lived in this period of world war Ⅱ , and of course, I’ve never experienced this suffering and war, but I could feel people’s voice of this period thanks to this poet. Without these Japanese Americans’ voices, I couldn’t feel and understand their feeling and thought. When I understand this poem’s meaning, this poem made me sad, but I also understood Japanese Americans were proud of themselves in the middle of the war. I respect them and am proud.

I really wanted to go to  the Grand Canyon, so my dreams came true. We went to the Mather point at first. That was my first time to see the Grand Canyon. I was really surprised and impressed.
