★Portland★

I went to Portloand from 12 to 15 November. My favorite places are Reed College and downtown and the ice hockey stadium. Reed college has a retro and cute campus. I like these buildings. One of the billdings was built 100 years ago. When I went there, one student gave us a campus tour. During this tour, I heard a lot of surprising information. First, the library is open until 2:00 a.m. It was impossible thing! I really impressed this thing.Students do their essays and assignments. Then, inside of library was so cool!! It seemed to appear in Harry Potter's movie. If I can do my assignment there, I'll be well forward with my work. Second, the school expenses. It cost fifty thousand dollars a year. It is so expensive!!! So, 50 percent of students get a scholarship. Down town was similar to Seattle, but I think Downtown of Seattle is cleaner than Portland's. There are a lot of people and shops. It was thriving and fashionable place. I liked the atmosphere. On this day, I bought some stuff for only myself. I was so satisfied!! Then, I saw a strange man. This man's face was painted silver. And all his clothes and shoes were silver. He had glass ball and maneuvered these ball. He looked like robot. Ice Hockey game was so exciting!! I have never seen ice hocky game before, so I didn't know the rules. And Ice hockey game is more violent than I imagined. We boosted the team that is named Winter Hawxs. After a couple of minutes later the game started, two player started the fight. But judge person didn't stop the fight. Then, audience kindled the fight and shouted. I was very surprised!! As I went to the home studium of this team, so When the player goaled, audience's response was so nice!! Then, my team won finally. As I watched the ice hockey game for the first time, I became fan of ice hockey. Anyway, I really had a good time at Portland★
