Have you ever been to Portland. Portland is located in Oregon state and west area in the US. It is the most urban area in Oregon state. This place is also known for City of Rose because temperature is appropriate to grow roses. I spent wonderful time in Portland trip. I went to the Portland as a school trip for 4 days. I studied about Portland such as Ruis and Clark,and Oregon trail and so on before I go to the Portland trip. I really enjoyed visiting Columbia Basin college, the chocolate factory, and Multnomah Falls.
I had great time in Columbia Basin college. This college is in Pasco, Washington. We went to the Japanese class to talk students who learn Japanese. I talked one girl who takes Japanese class in the college. When I met her first time, I was a little nervous,but she was so kind. She gave me a stuff as present. I was so happy. After that, I moved to another place that was located many nature such as stream, tree, small waterfall and so on. It made me relax. I talked about a lot of things with my partner in there. For example, we talked about different point between Japanese comics and American comics. She said that Japanese comic is interesting. I didn't know Japanese comic culture so much. I just read comics when I was a child. This was good opportunity to think Japanese culture by another perspective. It was good practice to communicate with American student. I was really happy to visit this college
The next day, I had a good time at the Creo chocolate factory in Portland where I heard special lecture. There are many kinds of chocolates such as white chocolate, dark chocolate, milk chocolate and cookies. They looked delicious. I expect that this factory is big, but this is small that I expected. There are only three clerk that day. Inside design was cate. I heard that chocolates include 73% Heirloom Arriba Nacional from Ecuador. We tried to eat cacao called boba. I had never eaten it, so that is first time to eat it. It was really bitter I expected. I realized that why chocolate is sweet. I was a little shocked that chocolate include many amount of sugars.I learned about chocolate deeply. It was great time for me.
On the final day, I saw beautiful scenery at Multnomah Falls. That waterwall is second longest waterfall in the US. Honestly, I had never interested in waterfall in Japan, but when I visited there, my mind was a little changed. I thought that I may like sounds. That sound made me relax. In addition to it, that water fall scenery was great. There was long road that lead to the most beautiful spot to see waterfall.I didn't have time hee to climb it, so i couldn`t that spot. Although, I am sure the scenery is beautiful. If I have a chance to go the Multnomah falls, I want to climb the spot. I was glad to visit there.
In conclusion, I enjoyed Columbia basin college to communicate student. We could share each culture and learned different point between America and Japan. Second day, I was attracted by Chocolate factory. This is good time to learn how to make chocolate. Multnomah fall was really beautiful. It wa great scenery. It made me relax, and I felt comfortable. I ;learned many things throughout this trip. It was valuable time for me. I want to go the Portland again someday.
