Unexpectedly Interesting Fair

I had a really great experience at the Spokane Interstate fair in America. Japanese fairs are very different than the ones in America. I found many exciting different points.

First, Japanese fairs sell many special local products and the fair do not have roller coasters, just stores and a few attractions for kids. So when I head about the fair in my reading class, I thought that American fairs and Japanese fairs would have the same situations. I thought the American fairs may be flashier than the fair in Japan but it was very different!

I thought the Spokane fair was very crazy because it had many livestock (different animals) and it was like a farm. Also all food sizes were too big, for example the elephant ear, juice (we can order as much juice as we like.), popcorn, and hamburger. Additionally, most of the rides looked very scary. I like scary roller coasters and eating but these were unusual for me so I always laughed out loud, "Ha ha!". When I rode the roller coasters at the Spokane fair I would shout very loud because they are very fun. These roller coasters are very addictive and I want to ride them again. Spokane fair given me new culture things. These things make me awesome. I hope Japanese fairs mimic a Spokane fair.

I had a fateful encounter in the fair. I met a Japanese staff person. She told me a lot of information about the fair and she knew MFWI because her friend graduated from MWU, MFWI and SFCC. I was really surprised! I had never met a Japanese staff person in Spokane. Also, her friend and I went to the same university. It was a rare situation. I received a valuable advice from her.

I think America is a good and crazy country and it never bores anyone.

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...
