Spokane Interstate Fair

I enjoyed and learn American culture such as food, exhibitions, and ride at Spokane Interstate Fair.
First of all, I ate Gyros and Elephant Ear. Gyros is a kind of Greek food with meat and vegetables. It was delicious. The meat was lamb. Although it was a first experience to eat lamb, it was so tasty. I ate an Elephant Ear as well. It is not a real “elephant ear”; it is dough with powdered cinnamon and sugar. It was so big, but I ate the whole of thing with my roommate. After we finished eating, we were astonished at our appetite. Next, I saw many exhibitions, because one of my teacher recommended me to see that. I learned the exhibition was held by “4-H”. “4-H” is an organization like girl scouts. It gives some children many experiences to cook, and to learn nutrition. One of the exhibition booths is a competition of big vegetables. I saw surprisingly huge pumpkins.  Finally, I rode a ride. We get into a thing like a cage and turn it many times. It looks more dangerous than Japanese ones so I wasn’t willing to ride, but I supposed it might be a good experience for me. I rode on it with my friend.  On the ride, she screamed and finally cried. On the other hand, I enjoyed it very much at last, because I saw a beautiful moon and sights on the top of the ride. Spokane Interstate Fair was so fun and taught me a lot of American culture.

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...
