I can't believe that I just have 2 months and few days in Portland.
Actually, before came here I worried about homesick that makes me want to back my country. But, It was overcare. Nothing happened.
For this posting, I need to choose the best thing during my time in Portland.
HOWEVER, I can't. I can't chose only one! As you know, Portland is filled with 'NICE' things! Nice people(some weird people :9), hundreds of food carts that sells delicious-exotic-different taste foods, greens, freedom and rain :P.
Anyway, I reminded what I did since I came here.
I went to Saturday farmers market at PSU which is always fresh.
I went to Mississippi street which is my favorite.
I went to Oregon coast that makes me remind my country.
I went to Powell's bookstore.
I went to waterfront park jazz festival.
I went to MT, st. Helens.
I went to 23rd Ave which is fancy.
I traveled with mom during summer break which is tough.
I traveled to Chicago, and New York, Seattle.
I went to public library and lend a book.
I went to pumpkin patch where a lot of pumpkins.
I went to Bob's red mill.
I went to Halloween party.
I met my host family who is vegetarian.
I met my dear friends in PSU.
I went to NW hostel with my classmates and we made a nice dinner!
I watched the Avengers, Dark knight rises, Rise of the guardians, 007 Skyfall in the theater without subtitles.
I watched Trek in the park that was really nice.
I read ENGLISH graphic novels and 2 novels.
I ate Little big burger which is really small.
I ate big portion American food.
I ate Ruby jewel's ice cream, and salt and straw's too.
I surprised recycling.
I surprised naked bike riding.(REALLY!)
I excited in Portland
I felt happy, also I felt confused, and cried twice, when the first night in America and worried about my future.
Recently sometime or other, I realized that I'm thinking in English.
I laughed when I thought myself as a Portlander.
Wow, it's kind a long list. However I think this list is not perfect. Maybe I missed some memories. Whether on this list or not, I'm sure that my experiences in Portland are precious and I won't forget it.
Nevertheless, if I have to pick one great thing that I had in Portland, I think this fall semester is the best. Before attend Psu, I don't have friend in Portland because I'm so shy when I meet stranger, so almost of time I went somewhere by myself. However after attend PSU, I met my dear friends and we went out somewhere and have a pleasant time.
In addition, this Thanksgiving(that is first thanksgiving in my life), somebody asked to me. "what is your thanks?" I answered "I'm thankful to my parents, because if they don't give me a chance to study in the U.S., I couldn't have those great experiences."
Anyway, it's sad that I'm leaving this school. I will miss my classmates, teachers, and all PSU.
