My Fabulous Portland Trip

By
Have you ever been to Portland? I’ve been there on November 9 to 12 and it was my first time to go there. I had a really good time there. Now, I will concentrate on things that I was impressed with during this trip. I went to many wonderful places and it was an exciting trip. I’ll tell you about my fabulous trip. There were three things that were fabulous about this trip to me: the Columbia Basin College, a men’s basketball game, and shopping.

First, I had a great time visiting various educational places, such as Columbia Basin College and Portland English Language Academy. I talked with some American students and it was a really good time to have conversation with them. I introduced to her about my presentation. She didn’t know about my topic, but she tried to understand about tea ceremony, so I was happy. Of course, we talked about many things. She is a running start student, so she is younger than me. At another college, Portland English Language Academy, I joined the class. They weren’t American students, but there were 3 Japanese students and students from other countries. I thought it was a good for me because I could practice and notice what I needed to practice more. I like to talk with foreigners, so I enjoyed talking with them. This experience is one of my best parts of this trip.

Basketball game
Second, we watched a fantastic men’s basketball game at University of Portland. I enjoyed watching this game. Their team name was called Pilots and the rival team was called Vikings. Actually, Pilots got 75 points and Vikings got 79 points, so Pilots lost. When the game was finished, I was sad because Pilots lost. It was the first time to watch the basketball game so close. It was super fun, so I was satisfied. My first basketball game was super interesting. I was excited.
Powell's bookstore
Third, I enjoyed going shopping in Portland. This time was good for me. I love shopping, so it was the most interesting point. We went some places, such as Powell’s bookstore, Pioneer place, Uwajimaya and so on. I like Uwajimaya the best because I ate ramen noodle and it was Japanese. When we ate it, we were impressed. We almost cried because we miss Japanese foods. I think Japanese foods are the best around the world. Also, Powell’s bookstore is one of my favorite bookstores. There are thousand of books, so it was fun to look at these books. There are many books, so it was sometimes difficult to look for the book, but it became a good memory for me. There were some awesome places to go shopping in Portland. It wasn’t enough time to go shopping. It was a great time for me.

In conclusion, my experiences were awesome and I really want to go there again. I stayed there for only four days, but it wasn’t enough time for me. I want to go shopping with more time and I want to see other historical places more. I had a lot of valuable memories during this trip. I would like to go there again.

My Valuable Southwest Trip

By
Last week, we took a trip to the Southwest for 7 days. This trip was an absolutely wonderful memory. I had never been to these areas so I was stimulated by every things, for example, cactus, adobe style buildings, Native American culture and amazing dessert views. It is one of the most interesting trips I ever took, because I experienced some rare things like visiting Grand Canyon, visiting high school and so on. On this trip I could understand about Indian culture from a folk art museum. I would like to introduce some my best memories on this Southwest trip. My first best memory is Georgia O’Keef museum. Actually, before this trip, I was not familiar with her and didn’t know about any of her artworks, but I was looking forward to visiting here because I like art museums. Her artworks were very unique, abstract and absolutely fabulous, and these were very fresh to me. I especially liked bone’s paintings which one of the most famous her artwork, because the color contrast is very c...

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 ...

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...
