Fully Enjoyable Trip


I went to the Portland and Oregon from November 10 to 13. These are were really different from South West. So I had a very new wonderful experience in there. All places were amazing for me, so I was really impressed. For example, I spoke a lot of English more with my friends, teacher and a college student to compare Southwest trip, I really enjoyed shopping in the place that is the Washington Square Mall and Pioneer place because of no tax, and also I could learn Japanese American in the Japanese-American Memorial. I was moved by all stone that was written valuable poems in there. So, that was a very fulfilling trip for me.

First, I had a lot of fun conversation with college students at Columbia Basin College. I could speak English a lot in there, so I got confidence thanks to this opportunity. My partner’s name was Anna. She has learned Japanese, so she really interested in Japan. First, I taught her how to make a crane. It was so difficult to teach, but after teaching she was really glad. She said that I have made a crane but I could make it well than before. I was also very happy to hear such a things. After that I presented my presentation topic. Before I presented my three presentation topics which is Abashiri prison museum, Shiretoko National Park and Otaru city, I really worried about whether she could understand my presentation contents. Because I thought it was so difficult to make her understand. However, when I presented it, she listened seriously to my presentation, and also when I didn’t know how to pronounce a difficult vocabulary, she gently taught me. After the presentation, I asked that whether she could understand and it was interesting. Then she said to me that it was really interesting topic, and also your speaking English was good. This is the first time that I was told that by a native speaker, so I was very glad also I had confidence in my presentation topic. This opportunity was really nice chance to speak English and to practice my presentation, so it was really helpful for me and also I was able to enjoy speaking English.

Pretty Christmas Version Pierced Earring
Second, I really enjoyed shopping in the Washington Square Mall and Pioneer Place. It was first experience to do shopping without tax, so I was able to be satisfied. I bought a pierced earring which was Santa Claus pattern and reindeer pattern in the Washington Square Mall. I have wanted Christmas version accessory for a while now. It was really pretty, and also I felt in loved with these, so I bought quickly these without hesitating. In addition, I bought pants and bag in the Pioneer Place. I was so surprised when I paid a money, because these were so cheaper than I expected. Also, the bag was less than half price compare Japanese shops. I was really glad to buy good items. Moreover, I was able to let go of all my stress. This was the first time that I did shopping so much in this semester, so I am really satisfied now.

The Most Valuable Poem For Me 
Finally, I could learn the heart of Japanese American at then in the Japanese-American Memorial. There were a lot of stone which was written some poems. Their feelings got through to me. The poem which have remained in my heart the most in all poem was that “ Sure, I go to school Same as you. I'm an American. The reason why I grasped that I think the person was discriminated against by American governments, so the person couldn’t go to the school as American. I felt really sorry for the person who was innocent for anything. All poems taught me the situation at that time. Moreover, I think I must thank for the present my life. I was able to know the feelings on a Japanese American at that time.

In conclusion, I was able to have a new nine experiences in this trip such as speaking English a lot, buying some pleasant items without tax and learning Japanese American. Portland and Oregon have a lot of wonderful place for learning spots and really fun spots. For such a reason, I had great time in this trip and also I want to go there again.

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

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.

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
