Seattle Diary
Day 1 21st July
I was very tired because I had a long flight. Immigration was scary at first, but I was able to communicate well using gestures. Seattle has lots of greenery and blue like the lake and sky.
We have a small accident. We bought burgers for dinner, but we don’t know how to sue the microwave oven. We were in trouble. We asked the native people how to use it. Actually it was broken. She brought us another microwave oven. I was very impressed . I think “be kind to all people” is very important.
After dinner I played soccer with university students. They are kind enough to talk to me. They are good at playing soccer. They asked me how to say “Thank you” in Japanese. After the game, they said to me “Arigato”. I was so glad to hear that.
