The last post in Maryland

Today is almost the last day in Maryland. I’ll write about yesterday first. In the morning and Nina’s class, I participated in an online chat with Hiromi, Kana, and Ai. It was hard to read and write quickly but fun. I’ll participate in chatting in Japan too! In Heather’s class, we saw a picture (A man and a little boy was talking and I thought the little boy was asking something to a man wearing police officer costume.) and thought what we wanted to ask them. All the questions and answers were unique so it was interesting! After the class, Heather gave us letters and gifts. I was really impressed by them. Thank you Heather! We had lunch at the Stamp Union and had a tour a tour of the Prange Collection at Hornbake Library. I didn’t know about the Prange Collection although it is really important collection for Japan. I’m interested in the war and literature so it was amazing! I want to know about it much more. Then I met Mike and went to the Terp Zone. We bowled and it was exciting! After that we went to the supermarket (Thank Mike and Nikki for your long way driving yesterday!) and I bought souvenirs and several things for myself. I had dinner with Nikki, Mike, Kyoko, Tomoya in the Chinese restaurant and I ordered the Wonton Soup. Nikki had the same thing (we are “sisters”), it was great but too big for us; there are about ten wontons! After having dinner, I played golf with Ice, Grass, Kyoko, Hippo and Nikki. The course was amazing and I enjoyed playing. (But I was not good) In front of the golf field, there was hill. We went up and rolled from the top to the below. It was so amazing!! When I went back to the hotel, I had a chance to meet Sachi and Nadav again yesterday. I was so glad to seeing them.

This is my last post in Maryland. In this trip, I met many people and they were all nice. Especially, Nikki, Mike, Joe were always with us and they made us and our trip amazing. I don’t want to leave them but I’m looking forward to seeing them soon. Thank you, everyone, Nina, Heather, AGU members and all the people I met here. I’ll try to keep posting in Japan. I’ll enjoy my last day.
