Six Flags!

Hello! I'm Aki.
Today, we went to Six Flags in St. Louis. There were a lot of attractions such as roller coasters, water sliders, and so on. Six Flags had a huge land! So it was difficult for us to walk all attractions. As a result, we couldnt ride every attraction; however we could ride most of roller coasters like Bad Man and The Boss. Every attraction was so exciting and fantastic! However, I think they were not scary comparing with Fujikyu Highland in Japan. Therefore they were not satisfactory to me!! But it had a lot of fun, and I enjoyed it too.

After we enjoyed Six Flags, we went to Asian restaurant. There were Japanese restaurant, Chinese restaurant and Mongolian restaurant. But I ate only Japanese food such as sushi. It was very delicious!!!

Today was a busy day, but I had a lot of fun! Now, I'm very tired.. so maybe I will wake up late tomorrow^^!←

St. Louis Mills Mall

hello readers! this is Shinobu.

We went to a mall today. Everyone was so excited about shopping!
I spent a lot of money like $200 for clothings, snacks, books, and stuff for friends and family. That was so much fun. I guess today might be the most enjoyable day since I came here in St. Louis.

SIX FLAG TOMORROWWWWWWwwwwww! yay!

Party!

Hello, this is Kenji.

Today was such an interesting day!

As usual, we had classes from 9:30AM until 3:00PM. I'm sad that UMSL shuttle bus does not run from next week...:[
We had to present our basic foundation of the Business Plan in front of everyone. I am happy that our group is working smoothly to accomplish the project. I really enjoy making this Business Plan. Want to know what our Business Plan is? Well, I will keep it as a secret until we go back to Japan on August 25th! :]

From 5:30PM, we had JASA party. JASA stands for Japanese American Student Association. Students from Rikkyo University and students from UMSL who have interests in Japan and Japanese culture had a party. I could meet the friends I met at Rikkyo when there was a Conference between Rikkyo's COB and UMSL on May 21st, 2010. I hope I can keep in touch with them from now too.

Moreover, I called five friends in Chicago! I talked with them for hour and half for total. I miss them!

Tomorrow, we are going to Mills, which is a shopping mall. Also, my friend in Chicago is visiting me! I'm so excited!
I hope I can find something good for omiyage, too : )

See ya!

A lot of things to do!

Hi! It's Riki!
Today is 5th day in UMSL. I already have taken 350 pictures! I'm surprised! I'm going to take more than 1000 pictures during my stay. I think I'll take them easily.

Right now, I'm at club house and doing my works with everyone. I just ate dinner so I'm full. I don't want to get fat but I ate too much tonight;; But for lunch, I'm eating salad! Healthy!

Today, we had classes and after class was free time. I slept with my friends. Taking a nap is very happy thing for me. Outside is so hot so it's fun staying inside of room and talk or sleep.
I ate dinner after my nap and now I'm writing this blog. I took the picture now.
We are studying! After we finish are work, we're going to do something FUN!! I'm really enjoing my UMSL life☆

See ya!

Botanical Garden

hello it's shinobu.

We have just started Business Plan today. it is very difficult and complicated.

Today, we went to botanical garden after school, it took us about 20
minutes to get there by bus.

At botanical garden there were many bushes and trees, also they had Japanese Garden which was "Karesansui", wood bridge and so on. it was very beautiful!

Byebye :)


This is Kenji.

For some reason, my apartment's floor and some carpet got flooded. : (
We don't know the reason, but everything is ok now!

Good night!

enjoy UMSL!

Hi! I'm Aki^^

Today we waked up at 7:50. Yesterday night, I slept with Sara in a bed and talked. I enjoy that talking.

I shared the room with Coco and Katarina, but Katarina will start to stay with us from 8/5, so now we live only 2 people. However, always there are a lot of our friends in our room, so I don't feel sad.

Today, our classrooms are started. Of course we have to listen and speak English, but I'm not good at English so it is hard for me to understand what they are saying perfectly. On the other hand, these classes are also interesting for me. Therefore I want to do my best, and improve my English skills.

But I want to enjoy playing with friends, swimming, talking and so on(^^)hahahaha

Now, I'm going to concentrate the group working! bye!!

We Arrived at UMSL

Hello, this is Kenji.

We arrived at UMSL yesterday!
We were really tired from the long trip which was about 17 hours including waiting.

We first went to our apartment. I'm with Daisuke K. and Daisuke H.
Next, we went to Sweet Tomato for the dinner, it was delicious!
After dinner, we went back to our apartment to get rest.
Daisuke K., Daisuke H. and I went to sleep at 9 pm! haha

After the long sleep until 7 am, we woke up and had a breakfast.
After breakfast, we went to campus tour. Also, we got our own ID for Internet service, which allows us to update this blog!

The classes are going to start tomorrow. I will sleep early like yesterday to get ready! woot woot!
