My Wonderful Portland Trip

I had wonderful time in Portland. Also, I could learn the history of Portland, such as the Oregon Trail, Columbia river, Dr. John McLoughlin, Lewis and Clark. It was the great experience to learn these histories, so I had interested in these histories by this trip. I have especially favorite places.

My Partner, Lachlan Corriell

First, it was very excited to visit Columbia Basin College. In last semester, I have already met some students of the College, so I was really looking forward to meeting them. I could meet them. They have remembered me, so I was very glad. By the way, my partner was a person who met for the first time. He is twenty eight years old and gentleman. He gave me a bookmark with his name. It became my favorite thing, so I always use it when I read a book. He has studied Japanese for just two years. Nevertheless, he can speak Japanese fluently, so I was surprised. Also, he likes Japanese anime, so we really enjoyed talking. I think most people who learn Japanese like anime. It’s kind of interesting for me. I had very exciting time with him.

Second, Powell’s bookstore was like a dream for me. I really like books, so I was happy. I was surprised by such a huge bookstore because I have never been a bookstore like that. However, it was not enough time to look around many books. Honestly, I wanted more time to spend in there. I bought a book of “Pride and Prejudice” because Terry recommended me the book. After that, I knew it is very famous as a British novel and became a movie, so I am looking forward to reading it. I really enjoyed looking many books in there that’s why the time passed quickly. I want to visit there again.

A Magnificence Falls

Finally, Multnomah Falls was full impact. I have never seen the falls, so I was impressed by the beauty. The falls was running from high place, so I couldn’t climb to the top of a mountain. I got lots of water by fall, so I froliced like a child. I really enjoyed climbing the mountain. Fortunately, the weather was not a heavy rain but a light rain, so I saw a beautiful rainbow. Also, there is a huge river in front of the Multnomah Falls, so I could see the river during climbing. Its beauty made me forget the tiredness. If I go to there again, I want to climb to the top of the mountain and then I want to see the scenery.

To sum up, I had many wonderful experiences in this trip. Also, I bought many souvenirs for my family and friends because there is no tax. I am so happy I could have such a great trip. I want to go to Portland in the future.

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...
