Cultural Observation

The Southwest trip was awesome!I ate lots of Mexican foods especially vegetables or cheese. What Christopher said Native Americana foods are healthy was right I think.

Altough too much is always not good for us.

Anyway, the most impressive thing for me was the languages we heard these days. Some students might recognize though, I could hear Spanish somewhere each day. I was very surprised.  Since I have come to America, I had never heard it anywhere.  I learned about Hispanic in junior high school "They are many and speak Spanish." I had thought it was a wrong information, but it was not.

I could hear Spanish from a radios, TVs, and many people live in Southwest. It was when I thought this was we were eating lunch at the University of New Mexico. Did you hear what clerk was saying? They were speaking Spanish! We never hear Spanish or the other language except English or Japanese in Japan, so I felt great difference between America and Japan, and also Washington and Southwest. Timothy said he was in California, so he could hear and see many Spanish word at advertisement or commercial. Then I imagined it was like English in Japan. However it was not, because America has mixed culture. It means there are many kinds of native speakers in a country. It is not like English which has subject in Japan. Complete sentences as a native speaker has were around there.

It was amazing!
