My Wonderful Portland Trip

By
Did you know that Portland is number one in the ranking of American towns that Japanese people want to live in. I went on the Portland trip which was from November  9th to November 12th with extension students. We went to Portland, Oregon by a bus. There were three places that I enjoyed most on the Portland trip Each place was really stylish and I took photographs of architecture. Moreover, Portland is tax free. It was very great. There were three fantastic places that I enjoyed most on the Portland trip with my friends.


Wodeful City View
First of all, visiting Pioneer Courthouse Square was really fun. The building had a stylish exterior and it sold many products. I bought many good things.  For example, clothes and cosmetics. This shopping mall is very huge and wide and it sells many things. So I had an awesome time the whole day and I found many good things. My favorite stores were in the Square. There was the chocolate shop in Pioneer Courthouse Square. This shop had many kinds of chocolate and many good things for souvenirs. I tried one. It was very delicious. It also looked perfect. I want to eat again. There was also SEPHORA. There were many more kinds of cosmetics in the Portland Sephora store than in the downtown mall in Spokane. So I couldn't choose what I should buy. It was a really good memory.
Awesome Basketball Teams
Secondly, I had a great time at the basketball game on November 11th. It was a close battle from the beginning to the end. The men’s basketball teams playing were the University of Portland vs the Portland State University. So there was very strong power and this game attracted many people. Both teams were very strong so I couldn't move my eyes. I especially liked to watch the sport game, so my eyes were also riveted on the game. I had a great experience. I want to back if I can go there again.
Delicious Voodoo Doughnut

 Thirdly, Voodoo Doughnuts had extremely delicious doughnuts. This shop has many kinds of chocolates and doughnuts and many good things for souvenirs. I tried a doughnut. My favorite was the Old Dirty Bastard. It was a delicious raised yeast doughnut with chocolate frosting, Oreo cookies, and peanut butter. Everything seemed delicious so I wanted to try everything. I was surprised that many people waited in the long line at the front of the shop to buy the donuts during the rainy day. I waited to buy about over 30 minutes. Compared with other donut shops, this shop's donuts were very cute and the interior was also awesome on the inside of the shop. This donut shop was the best.


In summary, my experience at Portland had many fantastic experiences. Everything and every location attracted me so much, such as the architecture, shopping mall, basketball and Voodoo Doughnuts. I had a lot of fantastic experiences with my friends and learned many things from this trip. I hope I could go again to Portland. Additionally, this trip was one of my best memories in my life. I won't forget it ever.

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.

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...
