Megan　↑

Michael　↑　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Evelyn　↓

My AUAP teacher came to Japan last week.

I was so happy to meet them!! But it was during final test term. So they can't meet all student immediately.

It was last exam day on August 1st. Other teacher tell students to be able to meet the teachers at the cafeteria.

I changed the time of part time job. So I could talk with them.

Megan is my best teacher I have ever met. So I was cry to meet her.

I came back from America just 6 months ago. But I felt it's been a long time.

I was happy.

But I can't have enough time.

I had to say "See you again" again.

I had patience to cry.

Because I can meet her again, sometime.

Megan,

You are my best teacher❤

Thank you everyone!! (I forgot to write about this party...)

I came back to Japan on Feb.11(Mon)!!

Japanese food is awesome!!

But I felt Japanese people always looks fast and busy...

And I don't have classes until April.
So I'm bored everyday!!

Also I would decide new part-time job...
And I have to decide to get the licence of car.

I think it's not intereted at all for me.

I want to do back America!!

2008 Movies!

I've already watched 2 movies this year.

"Sweeney Todd"→

"AlVIN"↓
Sweeney Todd was kind of dark movie because Sweeney Todd played Johnny Depp is a murder.

But we have watched that since the end of 2007.

I like this movie because it's musical style and Harry Potter's casts play many important rule.

I think it's "Pirates of the Caribbean" VS "Harry Potter"（＾◇＾）

AlVIN is very funny movie.
We watched this CM on the TV. We thought very cute and funny!!

At first I wanted to watch another movie, but it has already finished(=_=)
Instead of that, we decided to watch ALVIN.
It was also good movie☆
And It's easy to understand the story!!

Midori(WWU) came to EWU!!

Movie Night!!!!!(1/19/Sat)

♪ At the Top Of Dressler ♪ Mayu ☆ Midori ☆ Saori
I like Midori☆
She is very cute and kind!!

She is deaf. I can understand Japanese because she can read people's mouth and she uses sign language. But she can't understand English and American's mouth.
So she told me that she writes sentences when she talks with American!!

I remembered many sign languages.
It's interesting for me!! I want to take the class of that in the University.

We went to Shopping Mole(North Town Mole) and Spokane♪♪
We spent good time!

TOEIC TEST Finished!!

Listening test was very difficult.
I think I can't get high score, but I hope a good result☆

I'm tired today・・・(ーー;)

Vollyball Game!!

Asami / yoko / Ryusuke / Rich / Tomomi / hitomi / Kanako / Mai / Nobu /

All AUAP students played volleyball.

Each group played game.

My team was the strongest team.

Because 4 people belonged to Volleyball club in junior, high school and Asia university.

We won all game.

We are NO.１!!!!

My Birthday Party☆ But it's January 21 !!!

My surprising Birthday Party!!!!!!!!!

I love American life☆

I was surprised everyone held my birthday party yesterday!!

My birthday is January 26. Not Martin Luther King Jr. Day!!

But everyone also held Nicole's Birthday party.

Her birthday was January 21.

When I stayed my room with my friends, three campus police came and told us that someone's birthday was held at first floor.

I couldn't understand what they were speaking.

I didn't know everything.

Then my friends said "Maybe Nicole's birthday"

I thought I could understand.

Later, Mayu(friend) came and told us start Nicole's birthday!!

Then I was wearing clothes for outside.

I went to at first floor and enter the room.

And it was dark but I could see many people.

And then they started to sing Happy Birthday Song for me!!!

I thought I'm not birthday person, you are misunderstanding!!!

But my friend's told me it's your surprising party!!

"It's not your birthday today, but we held today!"

Then I understood!

So I didn't notice anything! Later I changed my clothes.

People that there is birthday must be hit fresh cream or cake. I was a little afraid.

At first Ayano hit me fresh cream on my face.

And then Ryusuke also strongly threw cream to my face!!

My beautiful face changed dirty face...

My nice green class T-shirt in high school changed dirty T-shirt smelled cream...

It was very very nice memory for me!!

And Thank you for all my friends☆★

I enjoy now!

Homestay in Victoria 5th day!!(12/27) I want to stay longer!

SAORI & HYUN-SIL

Thina & Mika & Hyun-sil & Saori

I got up early in the morning.

I ate breakfast, then I watched TV.

Yesterday Hyun-sil invited me to go to Downtown with her friend and her friend's Japanese friend.

Bill drove us to there and we met them.

Thina is Korean. Mika is Japanese.

Mika and Thina is roommate in their house.

Mika is 18 years old, so at first I thought she is same grade.

But she was a high school student.

We were surprised!

Then we were talking about the same and different things of Korean and Japanese culture.

I knew many new information.

We wanted to hang out more time, but I have to go back America and Mika also go back Japan.

We were sad,but I told Mika my address.

We were nice talking in English.

After we went back home, I and Hyun-Sil wrote a letter for each other.

We are food friends(^_-)-☆

Then I watched movie with host family.

It was a good movie!! I was almost crying...

Cindy,housemother, likes making something.

She gave me a present.

It is a photo diary. I 'm so happy!!

I thought I'm glad to meet this family☆

I really like this family and I want to stay longer!!!

I will miss this family after I leave the house.

I had a wonderful time with the family in Victoria, Canada.

Homestay in Victoria 4th day (12/26), After the Christmas☆

After the Christmas, today was a boxing day!!!
Do you know this day!?

Many shops are on sale! So many people went shopping!!

I went to Soppping Moll with Hyun-Sil.
We also went to Cindy's working shop to give some breakfast♪♪

Then we went to "future shop", electricity shop.
There were too many people in the shop.
I bought a memory card. Hyun-Sil bought music player, not i-pod.

Then we went to big Shopping moll to meet her friends, Nicole and Thika?.
I bought a hat and a daily note.
It cost about 10 dollars!!

And I met Japanese friends, Abu, Junko, Mayu.
I felt strange to speak Japanese because I have been speaking English everyday!!!

At night I played a video game with Jeffry. I won sometimes.

After Jeff, Jinda and Jaime went back home, I, Bill, Cindy and Hyun-Sil watched movie, Star Dust☆★
It a good movie, I think.

It's very fast to pass the time.
I 'm having really good time in Victoria☆


I thought to go back Japan today.
I don't want to go back Japan because I really like here and America, EWU!!! And now.

Now we can meet everywhere, talk any time, and hang out everyday with friends!!
And I can speak English every day!!

I think NOW is the best time in my life!!!

I want to keep this time.

Homestay in Victoria Third day 3日目(12/23)

We went to a movie theater today.

We watched The Golden Conpass.

It's difficult for me to understand.

And this story would continue because it didn't completely finished.

It cost about 10 dollars.

It is Chistmas Eve tomorrow!!!

There are already many presents under the tree☆

I'm looking forward to coming tomorrow!!

Homestay Secound Day (2日目)

Host father guided me the downtown.
we went to a harbor, a bank to get my Canadian money, the oldest hotel in Victoria and shopping moll.

Victoria is cool and beautiful place, I think!
But I can't understand the bus route from downtown to my house.
I need to memorise this!!

Then I went to The Butchant Gardens in the evening.
I went to there with Korean friends.

We met at downtown on 3:30.
We wanted to catch the bus about 4:00, but we missed the bus!!
So we went back to the McDonald's and Chapters (book store).

We caught the bus about 5:00.

The Butchant Gardens's illumination was so beautiful!!
I took many beautiful pictures☆
I also took the picture with Huun-sil!!

We had a good time!!

During we were going back our house, she was feeling bad.
I was worried about her.
But we could catch the bus quickly.

At night I watched movie, Harry potter and order of the phoenix with host father☆
During the movie, he was sleeping...and I was so sleepy because I was really tired(；一_一)

Today I went to many places and watched beautiful things.
It was nice day♪♪

A Limousine Tour☆

❤A Limousine with friends❤

I rode a limousine for the first time☆ We watched Christmas illumination of American house.

A limousine has a large space and many glasses.

We are 20 members. The limousine can sit just 20 people.

Before we rode, we ate Japanese food at Sushi.com, Japanese restaurant

The limo parked in front of the restaurant.
And the limo tour started☆
We dressed up and took many pictures.

I didn't have dress, I borrowed my friend's.

I decided just before the day.

At first I was thinking to go, but reached the fixed number.

I always said I wanted to go!!!

Just before the day, when I was eating at the dinner with my friends, a IPA asked me going the limo tour.

Then I and my friends could go the tour because 2 people canceled the tour.

I and my friend were so glad!! I'm lucky person!!

We talked and took picture. My feeling was gorgeous!!

Everyone looked funny!!

I think I can't ride the limousine in future.

It is a good memory in America☆★

America can grant many kinds of dreams!!!

My Penpal☆

We went to elementary school to meet each pen pal.

My pen pal names are Jaimee and Ashley☆
But Ashley was absent, so I played with Jaimee!!

She is a little shy. She can play Violin. I watched her music class. About 15 people were playing Violin and Viola.

It was exciting class.


I gave her a small present, bookmark.
I changed her name to Kanji.

Jaimee was difficult, but I like her Kanji.

They also gave me very nice present.
Jaimee gave me a pretty dog doll♪♪
Ashley gave me a nice blanket❤

Every students are pretty and active!!

I had a good time with her in elementary school☆

HarryPotter and The sorcerer's stone

I bought HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER'S STONE.

I love Harry potter, but I have never read the books.

Today I bought the first book because I thought I want to read the book and long sentence like TOEIC quickly!!

I thought Harry Potter is the best book that I read(^O^)／

SnowWind＼(゜ロ＼)(／ロ゜)／

もうめっちゃ雪積もってるんですけどぉ～(；一_一)　しかも今日は風が強くていつもより雪もいっぱいふってる。。雪はうれしいんだけどやっぱふってる時よりもふり終わってからのほうが楽しい気がする★

ちなみにこの写真はうちの１０階の窓から撮った写真で~すｖ（*^_^*）ｖ

It's cold today. Everyday it is snowy, but today is also windy. I wouldn't go outside.

I will make spaghetti with Taraka sauce, wafuu kinako sauce and tomato sauce for dinner in my dormitory ♪♪

ThanksGiving !(^^)!

My roommate's name is Margo.
She is a nice person. I always say my friends that my roommate is the best in EWU.

I went to my roommate's house near the Seattle for Thanksgiving holiday.
I stayed 5 days(11/20~11/25/2007)

Her family was friendly!! Her mother is a good chef☆ She made the traditional food.
I ate many new American food. That was so delicious♪♪

And Her father, bothers and a sister also are friendly.

On Thanks giving day we went to her uncle's house. Other her family gathered his house, maybe about 20 people!!

There were many traditional food and many kinds of dessert.

We ate a lot of food, of course Turkey too.
I ate Turkey with cranberry sauce for the first time.


Then I played with children and slept...


We took 5hours from Cheney to her house.

Her boyfriend drove after the class. I was just sleeping.

This picture ↓ is in her boyfriend's house on the mountain.

I went to many places. I went to her high school. It was a big high school.

And I went to a movie theater and gym with her family. Her family is active and has many hobbies.
I also went to her best friend's house. It was her 20th birthday.
So her family and Margo and I congratulated on her birthday☆
She has a small child. She is so cute❤

I had a grate roommate for me in America.

Seattle 2!!

☆NBA☆We watched NBA game(Seattle Sonicks VS Detroit Pistons). I really like watching basketball game, so I was excited!!

Our seats were 127 section, 8 row.

These seats were great because they were too expensive.

We paid a lot of money.

The game was sooo exciting☆

I haven't ever seen this exciting game!!!

A large American audience and we shouted, cheered and stood!!

Detroit is a strong team. In fact, at first Sonicks were losing , but after half time, Sonicks got the same score.

At the end, Sonicks lost the game. But we couldn't have guessed victory or defeat of the game.

We watched a nice game(^_-)-☆
