Completely amazing trip

By
I had a good time visiting the Southwest USA with Extension students from 15 to 21, October. It was an education trip and I experienced new things and there was a lot of nature which is comfortable for me. I was looking forward to going on the Southwest trip for a long time. I have image that the Southwest is very hot but this place was cold than Spokane. It was interesting that the temperature was totally different in the same place. There were three emotions that I experienced on this trip.

First, I was moved by the beautiful landscape of the Grand Canyon. It is absolutely enormous. When I look down the cliff, I remembered the teacher's caution for us that there are lots of people who die and I scared. I and my roommate wanted to see the sunrise so we tried to got up at 4:00 a.m. and then we could see the sunrise which was really fabulous. After that, we decided to rent a  bicycle but we changed our mind and because we had lots of time. Surprisingly, we walked 10 miles around there. It made me really exhausted but I got a precious experience which can see the beautiful landscape at the Grand Canyon.

Second, I felt the power of an earth by blowing a hole in Wupatki National Monument. The warm air and cold air were blowing up from the hole. It seems unknown where the hole is connected. That's a mystery. I have never seen and heard anything like this hole. There are many pueblo rooms and I and my friends guessed what kind of room is there. I thought everything looked like a similar room. It is mysterious to think that old people lived there. By the way, I did search on this place before the trip in American West class so I was excited. As a result, it was better legacy than I expected.
Third, I felt a difference between Santa Fe and other places I have visited in the USA. All the buildings were made with adobe, and the whole city was brown. We enjoyed the landscape. Also, we enjoyed Mexican food such as tacos, black beans, and avocado. In addition, there was honey in all the restaurants which I visited and we ate tacos with honey and it was very delicious. I want to try that again. In the morning, people sold a lot of accessories such as necklaces, rings, and bracelets which used turquoise and other stones in front of the Plaza. I bought a turquoise bracelet because Santa Fe is famous for turquoise. Now, it has become my favorite accessory. Also, I was surprised that Santa Fe is movie stage city of my favorite movie which is COCO. It was like Mexico.

In conclusion, I had a totally wonderful time on this trip. I could see beautiful landscape, good legacy, and interesting culture of Santa Fe. I have learned lots of new things like history on this trip. All the places where I went to this time were surrounded by nature and my mind calmed down. I was impressed by beautiful scenery and I got very nice memories. I want to go there again with my family.

Neccesary Shopping

I can do amazing shopping in the U.S. I don’t actually go shopping so often in Japan because I don’t want to spend money. However, I can’t help buying things here. One of the reasons I love the U.S. is shopping. I am so excited to go shopping here more than in Japan. A shopping in America is fantastic for three reasons. My Favorite Clothes of Holister First of all, there are many kinds of shops in Spokane. That means I have many choices to buy something. In Japan, I can’t buy easily things I want because Japan doesn’t have my favorite shops. In addition, I have to pay more in Japan than in America. If someone asks me my recommendation in America, I’d introduce incredible shops, such as Hollister , Bath and Body , Victoria’s Secret , and American Eagle , and Yankee. These shops are highly famous in the U.S, and I can't buy products of Hollister and Bath and body and Victoria’s Secret in Japan except online shopping. The other thing, I can visit other shops in Japan, but I’m s...

My Precious Experience

By
 The Awesome View at the Fair I have been having a good time since I came here. The teachers, RAs and staff at MFWI welcomed us warmly, so I was very happy and I am also happy now. My life at MFWI is little different from the last semester, but I'm really enjoying this life. Anyway, we went to  the Spokane Interstate Fair  on Tuesday, and I had wonderful experiences that I had never experienced before.  The food was very appetizing. First, I was very hungry when we arrived there, so I ate a funnel cake, a big piece of chicken and some pizza. I had never eaten such a big cake and a piece of chicken, so I was excited and happy to eat them. They were very tasty, so I wanted to eat more food. Then, I noticed that a difference between America and Japan. Japanese festivals or fairs also have many branch stores and the food they serve...

My Tremendous Portland Trip

By Anonymous
     Have you ever been to Portland? I could learn a lot of things in Portland. I like Portland so much. Especially, I enjoyed Portland English Language Academy, McLoughlin House and Powell's City of Books.      First, Portland English Language Academy was an enjoyable place for me. Before I entered the class, I was really nervous, because I can't keep talking with people whom I meet for the first time. However, this time was totally different. I had an activity of conversation to talk with every student. It made me comfortable. After that activity, I had a conversation about students' research such as selfie and future jobs. It was really interesting for me because I could hear various opinions about that. Then, the teacher recommended international students to talk about three favorite places in Portland. I learned more about Portland. Those activities were really helpful for me to talk with international students.   ...
