My Precious Memories in South West

By


I made wonderful memories that will last my lifetime in the South West with my friends. I have never been to the South West, so I got good experiences, especially in Santa Fe,at the Balloon Festival, and at the Grand Canyon. I really enjoyed this trip and I wanted to continue my time there. I think this trip was the best experience in my life.
Beautiful Santa Fe store
First, I was looking forward to going to Santa Fe, because before visiting there, I studied that Santa Fe is an art town, so I wanted to see a lot of arts. Actually, there were a lot of arts. There were any and every very beautiful arts that I have  never seen. When I walked around Santa Fe in free time, I could find many art galleries. I didn't go inside, but I could feel that they were expensive, so If  I got money someday, I would want to buy art in Santa Fe. Also, I really wanted to get turquoise, because It is famous stone in Santa Fe, so I wanted to find it for my friend and me. I looked for my favorite one for two days. I was trouble to find very much. There were a lot of marvelous outside stores with eye-catching products, so I couldn’t decide to buy them at first, but I was able to buy my favorite one after looking for so long, so I am looking forward to give her my souvenir.
Fantastic Balloon Festival
Second, I saw a fantastic scene at the balloon festival. I got up early, so it was too cold, but I had a good experience. While waiting for the balloons, I went around to some stores and killed time. I was bored and cold while the festival was starting, so I thought that I wanted to return to the hotel and sleep, but it became brighter gradually and the appearance of balloons going up one after another was a masterpiece. All balloons were colorful and cute as they were in various shapes, so I didn’t get tired of seeing balloons. This scenery was fantastic like being in a dream, so it was worth waiting in the cold. I could approach the balloons and see them going up. Also I took a lot of pictures near by balloons. It was bitter cold, but I could see marvelous landscape.
Fabulous Grand Canyon
Third, there was a place where I will never forget my memories for the rest of my life, the Grand Canyon. It was very huge and beautiful, so I really felt emotion, because I could see wonderful color gradation. I was speechless about the Grand Canyon. I rented a bicycle to see wonderful views, but I was worried because it was a little expensive. However, I think renting was the right answer as I could feel good winds with cycling. I thought that cycling would be the best way to see this overseas American world heritage. I can boast about my Grand Canyon memories with my friends when I come back to Japan. Also I could see a glorious sunrise and sunset. I got up early both days at the Grand Canyon like I did for the balloon festival, so it was so freezing. I have never seen sunrise and sunset in Japan, so this time was for the first time. I think that I was pleased that I got my first experience in the Grand Canyon, so I really had a valuable experience. Sunrise and sunset created a different ground color than what we saw at noontime. This was an enjoyable time to remember at the Grand Canyon.

In conclusion, I had a great time in the South West with my friends and I had a lot of good memories. Also, I could learn many cultures in the South West. It was different, so I felt the freshness of new cultures and places. I like the atmosphere in the South West. I really enjoyed arts, the festival and nature. This trip was truly memorable in my mind. I didn’t have enough money, so I want to visit the South West again.

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.
