The Church!!

  On Sunday February 21st, many people came to that church in early morning. This small church is near by Willamette University. The church is very old and Catholics have come for several decades.  Emily, a WU friend of TIUA students plays the piano there every morning, so she brought me to the church. That place was different to my image. It didn't look like church , but an atmosphere was mystic. The wall were tremblimg slightly by her piano. Everyone was sang together. That had amazing veiw for me.

Japanese Garden.

There is Japanese Garden that has many beautiful nature and building in Portland. JSSL students went to there.
On that day, the weather was so bad. Almost people were disapointed by it. but that place showed us so great view in rainy. Branches made arches by weight of drop, the rain likes silver glasses, stone garden were clearly rive.
The garden on rainy day is not bad.

Pow Wow!!

March, 12th, the Native American people came to Willamette University. Many people went to events that is called Pow Wow.
 There are a lot of people that are wearing various clothes. These looked like bird, human, other animal. Moreover, there werw simple one and luxurious one. It like that a grade exists in them.
Most interesting thing were dance and music. People danced with them. Completely, they were into the own world, but they connected with each other as a big circle at the dance. Their dance reperted same motion that looked like prayer to the god. Their music also like prayer to the god, but the music wasn't voice it was just like mixed animal and old people.
