Fascinating Fair

The Spokane County Fair was like a village. There were many farm animals, many open-air stalls, many exhibits and many amusement rides. This fair was very dynamic and fantastic. I could experienced a lot of things. Probably, Japan doesn't have such as an interesting and adventurous fair. I think this is just an American festival!!There were two things that were very engrossing to me.

First, There were a lot of interesting dishes. I tried to eat three different dishes which I have never seen and eaten before. I ate a Funnel cake, some deep-fried lasagnas and a Gyro. They were so delicious. I especially like the Funnel cake. This cake originated from German immigrants. The mouth sensation when eating was crunchy and it went with the sauce well.

Then, I watched an absorbing show called "Kids' Mutton Bustin". Children rode on top of the sheep's body and they tried to stay on the sheep's running around. I didn't know who the children were, but spontaneously I watched and cheered them like their family. This race was so enjoyable to watch. To begin with, the anouncer introduced the sheep. I thought the idea of introducing sheep was good entertainment which children can enjoy and probably something you won't see anywhere but in America. You can see the short video"Kids' Mutton Bustin" below.

From these experiences, I enjoyed eating and watching interesting things. Also I was able to have special experience. I want to visit a lot of places and experience American culture more in USA.

Fabulous Southwest Trip

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 ...

Respectable Voice of The Japanese American

Respectable Voice of The Japanese American Chisato Fujii When I saw this poem, I felt strong feeling of this poet like “I am an American,” and I also felt this poet’s voice like “Why am I not treated as an American?” I’ve never lived in this period of world war Ⅱ , and of course, I’ve never experienced this suffering and war, but I could feel people’s voice of this period thanks to this poet. Without these Japanese Americans’ voices, I couldn’t feel and understand their feeling and thought. When I understand this poem’s meaning, this poem made me sad, but I also understood Japanese Americans were proud of themselves in the middle of the war. I respect them and am proud.

Memorable Southwest Trip

I had an absolutely amazing time through on the southwest trip with fabulous teachers and friends for one week. I went to so many special places such as the Grand Canyon. I really wanted to go there and I was able to have a various experiences at the Grand Canyon. In addition, I ate a ton of southwest food and spicy food during this trip. This trip was most memorable for me for three reason for that. Amazing Grand Canyon First, I had many most amazing memories at the Grand Canyon. I really wanted to go to the Grand Canyon, so my dreams came true. We went to the Mather point at first. That was my first time to see the Grand Canyon. I was really surprised and impressed. It was like a picture, so I was really confused when I was saw that. Then I went to the next point to see the sunset. The sunset was absolutely gorgeous. I was really impressed. The next day, I woke up early. I went to Yaki point to see the sunrise with teachers. That day was really cold and windy, so whe...
