my experience in USA I've been to USA before using my university's program. But it was only for 5 weeks.it was so fun,though. I'm going to tell you a little bit about my experiment there. i stayed in homestay family house in Seattle. they were so kind and gave me their house's key hoping that i tried to enjoy my life in USA as much as possible. But to be honest, the meals my dad made was not good.So i often ate out.in retrospect, i think i went to Starbucks almost everyday.(actually there were so many Starbackses in Seattle.) in weekdays, i took english classes with my university students from 9 am to 3 pm,otherwise it was free time.actually the time i was supposed to speak english wasn't much so in free time, i often went to downtown and talk to strangers for practicing english speaking .people in Seattle was very good and friendly. Occasionally some strangers asked me for money tho. And there were some things i was scared. When i was on the bus, 2 people started to fight on the bus suddenly. some people were laughing. When i was lost in downtown and asking a stranger the way home, another stranger came up and told me he was a taxi driver. at first i was like "he is kidding" but it was dark and it couldn't help so i got in his car. finally i made it home but when i was in the car, he went through very narrow space between 2 cars and stopped his car suddenly. i was like "what?!" and he started to talk to a woman in the car next to his car. he said "You are beautiful!!!" to her. then, on arriving at the destination, he asked for much money than i expected. anyways Seattle was so good place and i found it important to remember bus systems there. thx for reading.

My experience in USA

I've been to the USA before using my university's program.
But it was only for 5 weeks. It was so fun though.
I'm going to tell you a little bit about my experience there.
I stayed in a homestay family house in Seattle, they were so kind and gave me a key to their house, hoping that I try to enjoy my life in USA as much as possible.
But to be honest, the meals my dad made were not good. So I often ate out. In retrospect, I think I went to Starbucks almost everyday. (Actually there were so many Starbucks stores in Seattle.)
On weekdays, I took English classes with my university students from 9 am to 3 pm, otherwise it was free time. Actually the amout of time I spoke English in my free time wasn't much, I often went to downtown and talked to strangers for English speaking practice. People in Seattle were very good and friendly. Although some strangers asked me for money occasionally.
And there were some things I was scared about. When I was on the bus, 2 people started to fight on the bus suddenly, some people were laughing.
When I was lost in downtown and asking a stranger the way home, another stranger came up to me and told me he was a taxi driver.
At first A was like "he is kidding" but it was dark and it couldn't be helped so I got in his car. Finally I made it home but when I was in the car, he went through a very narrow space between 2 cars and stopped his car suddenly. I was like "what?!" and he started to talk to a woman in the car next to his car, he said, "You are beautiful!!!" to her. Then, on arriving at the destination, he asked for a lot more money than I expected.
Anyways Seattle was a very good place and I found it important to remember bus systems there.
thx for reading.

I live in Seattle. ^__^ There are many Starbucks here because this is where the company began. The very first Starbucks is in Pike's Place Market. Did you visit there while you were here? It's a pretty famous tourist area. I am sorry you were asked for money downtown. Unfortunately, homelessness and vagrancy are big problems in this city. I walk to and from work, and I get stopped almost everyday, but you probably aren't used to that kind of thing? I don't know if that kind of a thing is a problem in Japan; I have never been there. Is that a bubble tea in your picture? We have a lot of bubble tea places, too! ^__^

I've been to Seattle many times. I had a car though, so I never really had to figure out the bus systems, but I can imagine it's very important there! Haha. And yep, many Starbucks :). I'm glad you had an overall good experience in Seattle/USA.
