Weekend, 4/7

                I went to the Sakura Matsuri in WU cat cabin on Suturday. There were many Japanese and American. Some people were professor family. I thougt this festival made Japanese connect to American, so I was inpresived.  My part’s Origami, folding a paper and making some figure, is very popure in Japan.  Many people came to my booth, and I told them how to make traditional crane and a cherry blossom petal. When they made them perfect, they were glad very much. Anothere proglums, there were Karaoke, So-ran bushi, Taiko musical, and so on. There were all Japanese traditional culture. It was so fun, futheremore I could feel I was in Japan. I was little sad because I felt it to miss Japan a little. I ate Japanese foods at lunch. It was very delicious. I really knew I like Japanese foods is the best favorite food.  This SakuraMaturi was very interesting and exciting. I was interested very much. After that, I went to the donney to watch the movies with my friends. We watched two horror movies. I like watching horror movies because my friends is always scarsly very much. Sometime I was surprised at their harsh fear. This movie night was so fun and exciting.

                I took part in the “Flower Viewing at Travel Center” by Kanoko. Other participants were also my friends. I was looking forward to go to the capital building to do  Flower Viewing. We couldn’t do Flower Viewing because the cherry blossoms were gone, and the weather was terrible. We were so sad, but we could have fun. These reasons were Kanoko’s guide and going shopping. I’d never been to the capital building until this weekend. This building was made with marble. It looked very nice and I was impressed in that there is a lot of valuable marble near my school. Also, we looked around the parks. There were many things I did’t see,for example, the Bell from Philadelphia, the broken second capital building,and so on. In addition to this, Kanoko explained to us about these things. It was so fun. These let us know many things about Oregon. We took many picture of these things. Next , we went to the Starbucks downtown, and we took a short break for drinking coffee. After  relaxing, we went to the Salem Center. I wanted to buy new sports shoes, but I couldn’t find one I was sutisfied with. I bought other things. There were many souveniors for my friends, my parents, and so on. My brother often drinks wine, so I bought the wine cork for him. This looked so cool.  I hope that he is glad to get this one. There were many things I was satisfied with. But I didn’t buy anything else. I wanted to think deeply about souveirs. Then we went back to school, everyone else  also said that the day was so enjoynable. I want to know more about Oregon.
