交換學生日記－楊鎰競
This is the decision that I will never regret. I’m glad that I have this chance to experience a totally different life here. I joined the marching band and I’m a tuba(低音號) player, actually this is the first time I’ve ever seen this instrument. Our marching band won superior+4 extra awards in EAC Band Day ,and we also won a superior in State Competition(which is the highest score our school has received in six years).
Also, joining the marching band, we’ve got a special invitation to listen to the BLUE MAN GROUP concert, they’re really AWESOME!!
The Arizona AYUSA invited us to go on a trip to –Las Vegas!! This is the place I’ve always wanted to go to. Though we can’t go to the casinos, we still had lots of fun. We went to Stratosphere Casino and played the world’s highest thrill rides(It’s 1,149 feet tall). Though I’m really afraid of heights, I still tried it, and it’s also because it cost me 34dollars to get the Tower Admission + All Day Unlimited Rides ticket. We also visited a lot of shops. It was the best trip ever!
I experienced the first original Halloween, walking on the street just for getting candies and Thanksgiving turkey. I’m expecting Christmas and my host family plan to take me to go skiing on my birthday. I really enjoyed it a lot here.
By the way, I jumped into the outdoor swimming pool in the back yard in November. That was quiet stupid but it was cool!
