Meeting UMD students

Yesterday, we met Maryland students who are studying Japanese. I was surprised because the students know Japanese culture, manga (comics) and so on. They know Japanese manga more than me. Afterwards we went bowling and played billiards on campus. We enjoyed them and meeting the students are good. we had a beautiful day.

Concert

We went to the Kennedy center for a free concert. This is the first time to go to a concert as far as I can remember. I don’t like listening to music so much, so yesterday listening to the jazz made me sleepy. Afterwards we went to Dupont Circle to eat Japanese food. Most of the students ate sushi and I ate sashimi and miso soup. Miso soup was good, sashimi was so-so though.

Georgetown

Yesterday, I went to Georgetown. In Georgetown, there are many historical sites and I went some of them such as Church of Christ which was built many years ago. I was very excited because in Japan, I can not see old building. There are almost no buildings which were built 300 years ago or more. In America, there are many old buildings so I’m looking forward to taking photo of them.

Arrival in America

My name is Tomoya Kawano. I’m a university student. My major is international economics. Yesterday; I arrived in America, Washington D.C. It took 13hours by plane. I saw the White House, Washington Monument and so on. I ate a cheeseburger. They were so big. Everything is bigger than Japan. This is the first time to come to America. What I want to do is to brush up my English skill, go to see MLB game and eat American sushi and hotdog. . Now I’m in university of Maryland. Of course it is bigger than my university.
