Great Portland trip

By
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


delicious chocolates
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.

beautiful waterfalls
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.

Unforgettable Southwest Trip

By
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 ...

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 ...

Completely amazing trip

By
I had a good time visiting the Southwest USA with Extension students from 15 to 21, October. It was an education trip and I experienced new things and there was a lot of nature which is comfortable for me. I was looking forward to going on the Southwest trip for a long time. I have image that the Southwest is very hot but this place was cold than Spokane. It was interesting that the temperature was totally different in the same place. There were three emotions that I experienced on this trip. First, I was moved by the beautiful landscape of the Grand Canyon. It is absolutely enormous. When I look down the cliff, I remembered the teacher's caution for us that there are lots of people who die and I scared. I and my roommate wanted to see the sunrise so we tried to got up at 4:00 a.m. and then we could see the sunrise which was really fabulous. After that, we decided to rent a  bicycle but we changed our mind and because we had lots of time. Surprisingly, we walked 10 miles aro...
