Restaurant Visit

My favorite restaurant in America is Moxie. I went to Moxie during conversation class with my freinds. First, the food in Moxie was delicious and not expensive. I ordered a spaghette likeYakisoba. A waitress brought some bread to us while we were waiting for the main dish, it was like fresh-baked bread and all of the food was arranged very nice, so I was surprised. Second, this restaurant were Japanese mood because Japanese picture were painted on the wall, It was wave in the ocean.and this restaurant were very good atmosphere because there were dark light and calm music so we could relax. Finally, the service was great. There were chopsticks for us and the waitress was very kind and smiley. She often asked us if we did't have any problems, and when I drunk all the water, she noticed it quickly, and put on the water and she changed my food because it tasted too spicy for me to eat. She changed my food to less spicy food for free before I say it to her, so I could eat the food. I appreciated her kindness. The waiteress in America were kinder than I expected. Moxie is very good restaurant because there were very kind waitress ,deicious food , and good Japanese atomosphere. I want to go Moxie again.

Movie Theater

Today, I went downtown to watch a movie with my friends. First, we were planning to go to North town, but we missed the bus to Northtown so we changed our plan. We saw many people wearing a yukata. They were MFWI students. I heard that they were planning to dance the Bon dance downtown. They were very cute! When we arrived downtown, we had free time until the movie started, so we shopped. I bought two T-shirts. They weren't expensive but cute. I watched a movie in this afternoon with my friends. The title is "17 again." This was a story about a man who has returned to the age of 17. It was a very exciting and impressive story so everyone said, "I want to watch this movie again." "I want to buy this DVD." I'll watch this movie again when I return to Japan. I recommended this movie to everyone. I like watching a movie in movie theaters so I had a good time!

The Seattle Trip

I went on the Seattle trip last weekend. My favorite place is SAFECO FIELD because I like baseball very much, so I was very happy! We could go onto the field and sit down on the bench. I was very excited! I could sit down on the seat which ICHIRO always sits on, and we took a lot of pictures there. For example, we have pictures of the locker room, shower room, and the interview room. I bought many Mariners things, like post cards, pens, shirts, and so on. I will give my friends or family these things When I go back to Japan. Second, we went to a cafe to eat dinner. There, my order, pizza, was very late, and the waitress gave me a cheesecake and soup for a free! I felt happy, and when we left the cafe, a waitress gave us her business card. That waitress was very nice. I like her.

American Schools

Today, I went to an American high school during conversation class. At first, I was scared but I got used to being there soon. I learned many things there though we were only there for a short time. The American students were all active, so I was very surprised. If a teacher asked the students a question, they responded quickly. They raised their hand, and answered. They aren't shy. Almost all Japanese students are shy in class. I respect the American students for being active. First, we talked to each other, but I couldn't understand what they were saying. They and I had a lot of trouble, but they were very kind and smart. They tried to speak English so we could understand. Another surprising thing was they were constantly drinking water in class even when a teacher was speaking, but in America, this is normal. American classes are freer. It is very nice! Second, I was surprised because American students were late for the class, but it seems to be a normal thing too. Today, I felt nervous but happy at last. I felt a lot of culture shock, but I had a wonderful experience. I am a lucky girl.
