My Memorable Trip

Portland trip was great experience for me. All Extension students went to Portland by bus on November 10th through the 13th. This trip was the last trip for us during extension program, so I had the best memories through this trip. In addition, I had super exciting memories at three places.


My partner, Lachlan Corriell
First of all, we enjoyed visiting Columbia Basin College. There was a place like a botanical garden, and I talked to some students and ate lunch there. We talked about my presentation, favorite things and many more. They listened to my presentation carefully and advised and asked some questions against my presentation, for example, “You should explain more detail about the topic” and “What kind of duties do they have anything else?. I was really glad that they said to me “ we are interested in your presentation.”. They may come to MFWI to see my presentation. I’m looking forward to seeing them again. Finally, he gave bookmark to me. This became one of my treasure. To sum up, I had enjoyable time with them.


Second, we had enjoyable time at Japanese supermarket, UWAJIMAYA. There were a lot of Japanese foods, tools, books and many more. They made me very crazy and happy. I bought many things such as Udon, Natto, Sushi and Dango. I wanted more, but these things were very expensive for me, for example, sushi was about 15 dollars. In Japan, I can buy it about 5 dollars. Therefore, I could not buy a lot. However, I regretted after buying only a few things, because I noticed I could eat Japanese foods every day after one month. After trip, I immediately ate most of the foods. They were really yummy. I’m looking forward to eating Japanese foods in Japan.




My greatest souvenir
Finally, we went to two huge shopping mall. We did not have to pay sales tax in Portland, so Portland was wonderful place to go shopping. I purchased many things such as coat, wallet, cap and many more for souvenir and myself. For example, the wallet is for my mother, because my mother’s birthday is December 30th. I hope she is glad to see it and use it from now on. I bought a lot, but I wanted something more and more. When I left Portland, my carrying bag was full because of souvenir. I was satisfied, because I could have the greatest shopping time at Portland.



In conclusion, Portland became one of my favorite places through this trip. These place, Columbia Basin College, UWAJIMAYA and shopping were very nice. Therefore, I’d like to take my family and friends to Portland someday. This trip is great opportunity for me to know about America more and more.

Neccesary Shopping

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

     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

 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...
