Spring Break

Spring Break

            I went to Los Angeles by myself. My friend lives in Los Angeles. I stayed with a family for  three days. I was very nervous before leave in Willamette, because I was alone. For example, I rode shuttle bus, airplane by myself. Everything did by myself.  Today, I woke up early morning. I went to the Red Lion Hotel to ride a shuttle bus. I met elderly women when I wait in lobby. She was very friendly, and knew the TIUA. We talked about Japan. Then we rode the shuttle bus, but I had trouble when I arrival in Portland airport. I forgot my backpack in shuttle bus when I noticed that too late. I was panic few minute, but calm down. Backpack was into the clothes only, so I had passport, wallet, and cell phone. I got air plane ticket, and went to a gate.  I called shuttle bus company, talked about my trouble. They understood it. I rode airplane, so arrived at Long beach airport safely. Los Angeles was very comfortable weather, and good place. Then I met a friend after a long time so, we watched the Hunger Game. It was great movie, and good lesson for English. Second day, we hang out in downtown, and ate hamburger. Dinner was steak. It was very delicious. Third day, I went to Japanese shop with my friend’s mother. My friend had school. I bought Japanese manga and Japanese food. We talked about American culture. She is Japanese, but speaks English very well and works in restaurant. I learned a lot of thing. For example, get a high score for TOEFL, American culture. Last day, we went to beach. It’s so beautiful, but today was cloudy. I take many pictures. When I came back WU, I have confidence. I think LA trip was great experience because everything did by myself.
