I had a lot of irreplaceable experiences during my stay in America. I enjoyed them very much. They will become unforgettable memories for me. I was delighted to experience especially three things.
First, I had a splendid tutorial time with my friends and RA. We enjoyed many things during tutorial. One is the game called Laser Quest. I experienced it downtown. When I entered the dark room, I felt a little horrible. Then I shot a laser at my competitors. The competitors shot at me, too. It was exciting to me. I can't play such a game in Japan because I have never seen it, so I think it was a superb experience for me. Another thing I enjoyed was our group nabe party. We bought some ingredients, napa, to-fu, dark meat from the leg, sausages, long green onions, udon and so on at Safeway. We cooked nabe and ate together. It was yummy. I like nabe very much, so I was happy to eat it in America. Another thing I enjoyed was Cold Stone ice cream shop. My group members and I went to Cold Stone and ate some ice cream. There were a lot kinds of ice cream on the menu. I chose a vanilla ice cream with apple pie taste ingredients. It was very tasty. Japan also has this store, but we don't have this flavor of ice cream, so I chose it. I was a lucky girl because I could eat this ice cream which Japanese Cold Stone doesn't have. One more thing I enjoyed was watching the movie Beauty and the Beast in the basement of our dormitory. It was a moving story. All of these things were valuable to me.
Second, I had a sweet time with my friends and host family during home stay. It was a great opportunity for me to learn about American culture. One thing I experienced was exercise. My host mother took us to a gym and we did boot camp and Zomba. It was the first time for me to do such things, so I was excited. We enjoyed exercise very much. Another thing I experienced was eating at a taco bar. My host family prepared taco bar and we ate tacos. I was surprised at this delicious food. I had four of extra helpings of it. It was really yummy and my unforgettable food. One more thing I experienced was going on a house tour. My host mother took us to a house tour, and I saw the inside of six houses. There was a lot of cutely designed furniture in those houses. Those were different from Japanese houses, so I was very excited and enjoyed seeing them. It was a stunning experience for me. I am very happy to be their host daughter.
Finally, I spent meaningful times during classes at MFWI. I enjoy classes which are done in English, but I' m not good at English, so sometimes I have trouble. For example, I couldn't understand well what teachers said, and I couldn't make myself understood and so on. This is why I was depressed about my bad English, but I work harder. I think this was good for me. By the way I had some superb experiences in classes. I went to American university, high school, elementary school, restaurant to learn American cultures in classes. At the university, we discussed "punishment at school" with American students. I was surprised at the students who spoke very fast and I learned about punishments in some other countries. At the high school, we met our pen pals, and enjoyed talking to each other. We also met our pen pals at the elementary school. We enjoyed folding origami or playing otedama and having a lunch together. I was sorrowful because of short time, but it was a delightful time. In another class, I went to a restaurant with my partner. We ordered some food in English. It was difficult for me, but the food was tasty. When we left there, we put a tip on the table. I learned about tipping. I was nervous, but I had a terrific time at the restaurant. All of these things in my classes I enjoyed very much.
All of those things are my fabulous experiences. I am proud of undertaking these things. I love to do these things, so I want to do them again. I had a valuable time in America.
