Spring Break
Nami Nishida
I stayed in Seattle the whole
spring break with my friends who names are Koki, Kenshiro and Miyuki in Jason`s
house. Jason is Kenshiro`s roommate who is sophomore. Miyuki invited me staying
8 nights and 9 days in Seattle on the phone. I immediately said “Yes!!” A few
days later, Kenshiro introduced Jason to me. He is very friendly and funny. The
day before leaving Salem, I started to ready for staying. Next day, I was very
excited and went to Donny with my suit case and backpack after school on
Friday. They were carrying their baggage and loading them into the car. I heard
it takes about 3hours and half from Salem to Seattle. Finally, we left Salem!!
Kenshiro, Koki and Miyuki bought chocolate as a gift for Jason`s family on the
way.
2hours later, the accident was
happened when we were taking a break in parking area. Suddenly, Kenshiro asked
me to go to bathroom and see Miyuki because she looks sick. I asked to him “’ What`s
happened to her?” He explained about she has a walnut allergy and she ate it in
the chocolate shop because it was difficult to understand to. After she ate,
she noticed but she thought it was small amount so it`s ok. Although she has experienced
eat walnut before and it was not problem to her. When I found her, she fell
down in the bathroom. Some people and I carried her. She looks difficult to
breath and she was crying. I didn`t know what`s going on. Many people were worried
about her and especially, 2 women tried to keeping warm for her by staying next
to her and encourage her. Later, an ambulance car arrived to help her and she
was taken to hospital. We followed the ambulance and we were very worried about
her very much. We couldn`t see her soon even we were in the hospital. Then,
only I was allowed to see her. I was very nervous, I walked and walked. I stood
in front of the door. I couldn`t open it because I didn`t want to see very bad
situation. The nurse opened the door and I entered the room step by step
slowly. Then, I saw her and she sit up on the bed. I was relieved and smiled
because there was smiling Miyuki. I hugged her.
We left hospital and arrived
Jason`s house at midnight. It took more than 7 hours. First day, we introduced ourselves
to his family and went to Olympia which is the capitol of Washington. Jason
took us and show around Olympia with his driving. I don`t drive but, I love
driving and it was pretty weather. There was beautiful lake in front of his
house. When we stayed there, watched 3D movies such as Toy story3, Green
Lantern and Avator. Jason taught us how to play Poker and we taught him a new
card game. At night, we roasted marshmallows over a fire outside. It was fun.
The other day, we did mini golf and had a great time. Koki won the game. We
love eating sweets, so we drank tapioca juice and ate crapes. We also ate ice
cream topped with candies for the dessert at his house. We decided to make
Japanese food dinner for them. We went to Uwajimaya and got some stuff. The
first day, we made Okonomiyaki and Somen. The second day we made Gyo-za and
Nikujaga. His mom and Dad liked Nikujaga that is kind of vegetable soup. Jason
loves Gyo-za and he ate it a lot. We were very happy with that. The another
day, we visited Space Needle which is the highest building in Seattle. Did you
know that? We had lunch in a restaurant at the top of Space Needle. The seat
goes around the building once in 47 minutes. We also visited Safeco Field which
Ichiro played there. Another day, we went to the museum of flight. After getting
backed to home, Jason took us to the lake by boat. It was very nice view. Of
course we went shopping and I bought same dress with Miyuki. Please look at the
picture. The final day, Kathy and Steve who are Jason`s parents gave us
Mariners T-shirt. We were surprised and they said “thank you for staying here
and making dinners. We are very happy.” We wrote messages on the card, bought
Lily and made photo frame. Then, we gave them and Jason liked the photo frame.
The photo frame is on his desk now. Please find me on Facebook if you want to
see more pictures.
