第30回 from University of Oregon

はじめまして！
この春からアメリカのオレゴン大学に留学中の稲葉真子です。
オレゴン州にやってきてから、もう一ヶ月が経ち、先週はmidterm でした！
最初の２週間はほぼ毎日雨。晴れてると思ったらいきなり雨が降ってくる。という天気に悩まされましたが、今は毎日晴れで20度を超える日が続いています。



Hello, I'm Mako Inaba. I am studying abroad at University of Oregon.

One month has already passed since I came here. Last week, I struggled to pass mid-term exam.

It had been raining for the first couple of weeks, but now summer is almost coming!!

さて、ここオレゴン、ユージーンはジョギング発祥の地として有名です。オリンピック選考会も2008年、2012年とここユージーンで行われ、2016年の選考会もまたユージーンで開催することが決まりました。そのユージーンの地で先日ユージーンマラソンが行われました。この田舎でこんなに人が集まるのか、というほどの人、人、人！！


Eugene is famous as track town and the birthplace of jogging. University of Oregon has hosted the last two USA Olympic trails. and the 2016 trails will once again be held in here.
Eugene marathon was  held on April 28th. There were so many people that I had never seen in Eugene.

また、応援をしている人が道の周りにたくさんいて、鈴のようなものを鳴らしながら、走っている人全員に"good job"と声をかけている人がたくさんいました。ちびっ子たちも元気に応援！私も友達の応援をしましたが、応援するだけでもとっても楽しかったです。


Also, many people cheered up runners. It was so fun to cheer up my friends.

また、オレゴン大学はフットボールが有名です。
先日、ダックスの紅白戦が行われました。学内の試合とはいえ、朝からOregon Ducks のTシャツを着ている人や、今試合どうなってる？と電話で話している人をたくさん見かけました。

UO football team, Ducks, is so popular.
An intrasquad game was held at Autzen stadium. I saw lots of students wearing ducks T-shurts and talking about the game.

８月からシーズンが始まるので、今から試合を見に行くのが楽しみです。

I am looking forward to watching the football game!!




これは、私の寮の部屋のドアです！アメリカ人の１年生と一緒に暮らしています。
それではこちらは夜９時なので、そろそろ部屋でゆっくりしようと思います。


This is the door of my room.  I live in here with American girl.
It is already 9 pm, so I'm going to relax in my room.

では、see you later~~

第２９回！ From University of Montana (Spring Break!!)

How have you been?

This is Taku from University of Montana.

The post this time is about SPRING BREAK!!

Alright! Let's go!

During the spring break, I went for the roadtrip with 3 Japanese except me, 1 Swiss, 1 French, and 1 Pakistani!!

I didnt grab the handle at all thorough the trip though.

OK!!!

On the first day of the trip, we were heading to Salt Lake City.

But we did almost nothing there other than seeing Salt Lake in the morning next day.

Well,,, we got there late at night.

But at least I got to see Salt Lake! Hell yeahhh,,, fuckin'right,,,,,,(DRAKE)

OK! From the 2nd day onward, Im not really sure on what day I got to each place.

So, just pardon me cutting to refer to the days.

Then, we got headed for Arches National Park!!

We walked/climbed approx 30 minutes to get to see this arch.

On the way was way beautiful!

 

 

Next is Grand Canyon as most of you may know!!

Because this was like the edge and around it was like diving to die, I was pretty scared of blowing wind toward meeee!

But I got nothing to describe the view. I could never imagine me standing there and seeing it.

 

 

From what a Japanse guy said right there, "Anything including me as a human being, conflicts going on even now or thought we have can such a tiny thing in front of this view."

He could've been a poet. J????????????????????????

It was amazing anyways!



Next is Las Vegas!!!!!!!

But we stayed there only a night and left at noon. Besides, we got there late at night.

Yeah. We did almost nothing other than roaming 'round. We were so classy though ;)

and I found the VEGAS FREE WiFi there lol

We went to La Jolla in San Diego also. There was a beautiful beach that I cant see here in Montana.




I got so excited then and I felt so happy with seeing many parts here in the USA.

Oh. They are just sleepin



Downtown was also awesome!

Two places left are San Francisco and Los Angeles!

Can you guys what I though is the best thing in LA?

親子丼！！！

めちゃくちゃ旨かった！！！

けれど、残念ながら写真はありません。　LAではほとんど写真を撮っていません。。。。

LA:):):):)'

We went to Fisherman's Wharf, Venis beach,,,,,,in San Francisco and got Fish and Chips and Clam Chowder :)))))

Yeah! Thats it! Thanks for reading!!!
