Last Friday, I went to St. Paul on program. I learned about Minnesota history. And I saw a big Church, big capital. It was beautiful. I took the many pictures.
In the night, I went to Minneapolis Downtown. It was so scary for me because I don't understand English well and there were so many people. But I could get experience. and I thought midnight of Kumamoto city was inactive town.

August 9th

it was sunny today. I learned American races. Many people who live in America are from different countries. So, it can separate some group. It is White, Black, Naitive American, African America and so on. I thought I can't confuse who is American, during I stay in America because there are Asian American in America. So I may think they are Asian.
In the afternoon, We had free time. Of course, I played billiards with my friends and teacher. And I learned new rule the billiards. So the game was so difficult for us. But I am educating the skill day by day.

Today's school activity was culture fair at Bethel. The fair was to introduce to American kids about Japanese cuiture. My group taught them about Ayatori. It is to play with strings. But the kids was so tiny. Maybe, I thought their old is about 3 to 5. So we couldn't teach very well.
Recentlly, billiards is popular among my friends. At lunch time, we ate lunch so fast. And we go to place to play billiards as soon as posibble. And we play it. Maybe, we will do it tomorrow.
Today, we must write essay which is my experience in Minesota. Now I am writting too.

Don't be shy

I learned the title word. when someone has no question, teacher said this word. I am learning different words in America.
Today's special class was about Issues Youth Face. American young people has problem like to suicide, having baby and so on. it is same problem in Japan. So, we must think about it seriously.
In the afternoon, I learned about teacher who became first teacher in Minesota. teaching of the thing teacher wore old dress. And she was very interesting.
And we did panel discussion about family. 3 families came to our class. they told us about their life and their child. I said that have you ever spanked your family?? they answered the question. everyone said yes. So, I thought the thing is same with Japan.
Today, I learned different things.

August 6th

Today I went to Bethel university. I learned about adoption in America. I had known the fact in America before I learned it. I was so surprised it. I think Japan don't have the system. Actually, I don't know the thing very well. I think the system is good. But, I thought is the child happy?? Today's child of adoption said happy and enjoying her life. So, I thought it is good thing for them.

Yesterday, I went to the fair of art with my host family and their friends. There were so many people. So it was difficult to walk the street. I could find some pictures and photos. It was so beautiful and so cool. I liked wax doll the best. it looked like real parson. I thought it is great art.
I think American art is very good.
I want to hold that like fair in Kumamoto.
