And it is the first time for me to drinking with friends and international students of KGU, so we had a lot of fun! We were so drunk, and dancing having some games… anyway, it was an awesome time!

A number of guests were 70 or more! The kennshuujo was so crowded! At the lunch time, we cooked tacos! And Mr. Tomei brought some Avocados, so we cooked wakamore! It was soooooo yammy! We dipped chips into it, and eat. It was sooo good! I thought I will cook it in my house! I love wakamore~!!
And, in dinner time, we had BBQ!! It was little cold in outside, but felt good to have BBQ. We enjoyed chatting, taking pictures, and of course eating!

Book review 2-7 Washington D.C














Everyone of all over the world might have ever heard the name “Washington D.C” at least once.
This is the capital city of the United States of America. Twenty million visitors come here every year from all countries of the world. But many visitors are Americans. They want to see the home of their government, and they also want to see their president.

In 1789, the united states were still small country. George Washington became a president and he named the land the District of Colombia. The main buildings are the Capitol, and the White House.
The capitol is the government building work started before the beginning of the civil war. Today, we can visit many of the rooms and walk around the beautiful rotunda that is painted pictures and statues of important people in American history. And, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is the most famous address in America. Do you know where it is? It’s the home of the President of the United States. This house started in 1792. The president’s office is in the west of the building. It’s called the Oval Office.
There are many monuments and memorials in addition to these buildings. It is The Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, and so on. The Washington Memorial is nearly 170 meters high and it’s a monument to America’s first president, George Washington. The Lincoln memorial is thirty-six columns round this wonderful white memorial. In the center stands a statue of Abraham Lincoln, nearly six meters high. Between the memorial building and the Washington Monument is a reflecting pool. When you visit there in the sunset time, memorial is reflected in the pool. It is so beautiful. The Vietnam Veterans, you can see two long big walls. Over 59000 American soldiers didn’t come back from the Vietnam War. Their names are on these walls.
