Fantastic and Beautiful Southwest Trip




              What do you think people can do in the Southwest? In the Southwest Trip, we can know about learn about the architecture, Pueblo society, see the Grand Canyon, and so on. That’s to say, the Southwest trip can many experiences.


              First of all, Santa Fe is one of my five memories. I went to Santa Fe and stayed about two days. Santa Fe was a very beautiful city, and also food was so delicious. Extension students went on tour of downtown Santa Fe, for example, we went to Mission San Miguel, Loretto Chapel, St. Francis Cathedral, and so on. My Pecha Kucha Southwest topic was Loretto Chapel, so I was impressed by the miraculous staircase when I saw it. 





              Second, I went to Acoma Pueblo, and I saw many houses on the cliff. The scenery from the cliff’s top was so amazing and wonderful, but I thought this life is little difficult to go shopping or school. Acoma Pueblo’s church was treated closely by Acoma Pueblo’s Native Americans. I strongly felt Acoma Pueblo is a holy place. 





Third, I saw the sunrise from the Grand Canyon and the sunrise was so beautiful. On October 15, my group members and I went to Hopi Point to see the sunrise. We felt very cold until rising the sun. Finally, we could see the sunrise at 6:37. I have never seen the moment of rising sun, so I was very impressed! The sunrise from the Grand Canyon was so beautiful!!






              Fourth, my group members and I rode bicycles and did cycling at the Grand Canyon National Park. The cycling was very fantastic, because we could see many different Grand Canyon’s scenes. We thought we couldn’t go to Yabapai Point, because we had to return bicycles, but we lost our way, and then we reached Yabapai Point! We were very surprised and become happily!






              Fifth, on the way to cycling, we did picnic outside. Before riding the bicycle, we bought lunch food at the Grand Canyon market. The lunch was so delicious and our talking was very fun! We said “Today is the BEST DAY EVER!”



              To sum up, I experienced a lot of things on the Southwest trip. I could know about Native American life, and also I could cultivate my group relationship! I will not forget these memories forever.

Neccesary Shopping

By
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

By Anonymous
     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

By
 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...
