Delightful Days

By
Extension students traveled to the Southwest for seven days in October. I really enjoyed the trip. There were many histories and nice views. Also, there were many delicious foods, and I ate too much. They were different from the East coast. I had great experienced which I had never experienced before. I really enjoyed Albuquerque, Santa Fe and the Grand Canyon.
the University of New Mexico
First of all, we enjoyed Albuquerque. In the morning, we visited the Pueblo Cultural Center. There were many exhibits about Pueblos. I learned a lot of histories about them. Their life and ideas were very interesting for me. We also visited the University of New Mexico. There are seven museums and students can watch free movies. I’m so jealous to be able to watch free movies. I ate lunch with a student who went to that university. He wanted to teach Spanish to Japanese people. I was so glad to hear that. I recommended to him to visit my hometown, Osaka to teach Spanish. Moreover, I saw many Adobe buildings. The design was unique, and different from Spokane. Albuquerque was so nice.
the Plaza
Second, we enjoyed Santa Fe. We visited many places. My two favorite places are the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum and the Plaza. In the Georgia O’Keeffe, there were many great paintings. I was so surprised that one of her paintings sold 44 million dollars. I thought I visited a super great artist’s museum. In the Plaza, many people sold accessories outside, and buyers were able to negotiate the price. Also, they sold accessories of Turquoise in the street. I was so surprised. I heard they need a special license to sell them. I bought accessories at a good price.

Third, we enjoyed Grand Canyon. We saw a great view there. It was not so good weather at first, but I was impressed. In the free day, I walked around Grand Canyon with my friends. Fortunately, it was nice weather, and I saw a very beautiful view. I took many photos, and I was so happy. I haven’t never seen such a wonderful view. I was moved. I can’t forget this experience.

As a result, I had great days and awesome experiences on the Southwest trip. I was so happy to be able to go there and see many precious things. I learned a lot of things. This trip was delightful. I will never forget this trip. I really want to go there again if I have a chance.

Fabulous Southwest Trip

By
    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

By
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.

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...
