EAST COAST TRIP



I went to Hilton hotel, Lincoln Memorial, Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Korean War Memorial, White House, Jefferson Memorial, Pentagon Mall, and Smithsonian Institute. First, Hilton hotel was very dirty and narrow, so I was not comfortable. Second, there were very big Lincoln's statue and Gettysburg in Lincoln Memorial. I remembered the speech of Gettysburg before I came here and I still remember now. Third, Vietnam Veterans Memorial and Korean War Memorial was very serious but I think we should remember about miserable war, so it's place was good. I heard rhombus means person died, cross means person lost in grave. Fourth, I can see White House but very far and small parts, so I wanted to see more and enter there. It's second floor lives in president's family, and there are 5 elevators, 32 bathrooms, 6floors and 132 rooms. I was surprised when I heard it. Finally, Smithsonian Institute was very big and many museums, so I was confused but I went to Air and Space Museum and Museum of American History. They were very enjoyable. Air and Space Museum was about war, rocket and space. Earth was small than around heavenly bodies, so I was surprised. Museum of America History was about dinosaur and diamond, but I did not have time, so I can not see diamond. When I rode on train and went to shopping, I heard many kinds of dialect, so I can not understand it though English. I do not want to go Washington D.C, again, but this trip was very enjoyable and can learn American History and see many things.



MFWI is very good place for me, because I could experience many things and know many differences between Japan and America. First, I had never live in dormitory until I come here, so I had anxiety, but dormitory life is good for me. Second, Commons meal is so bad, so if you come here, you should bring your favorite Japanese foods or buy foods in Wall Mart. Third, trip was so good like Seattle, Washington D.C. and Boston, so the hours went very quickly, so if you go there, you should make plan that you want to go place. Next, class is very fun than Japanese class, and I can make new friends, so I want to receive these classes in Japan. Then, I like holidays because I can go shopping, restaurant and homestay. These are so fun. Finally, Spokane's people are so kind and friendly, so I can live happily here. This study abroad is very important memories for me.
