Last week, it was a spring break! Last year, I was in 11th grade so I could go back to my house in Japan. It was really short break because to ride in plane took so long time, but it was great vacation for me! And this year, I’m in 12th grade and 12th graders had a school trip during the spring break. We will soon graduate this high school so the trip was graduation trip. We went to Florida! And Disney World!!!
First day, we had to get together at cafeteria in the soooooo early morning. The sky was still very dark. Everyone picked their breakfast up and rode on buses. The buses went to an airport. After about 1 hour, we arrived at LaGuardia Airport. I always use John F. Kennedy Airport so the airport was unfamiliar for me. But I had used the airport once when I went to Detroit 3 years ago. So the airport was little familiar for me also. We got onto the plane and left to Florida! It took about 3 hours, but I slept all time in plane because it was very early morning and I was really tired. I didn’t slept enough the day before because of packing…
When we arrived at Florida, it was hot! New York was cold so I could felt difference between New York and Florida. Then we got on buses and went to our hotel. The hotel’s name was “Port Orleans French Quarter.” We took a group photo and dismissed. From that time, we could separate into each group and go to anywhere that we want to go!
First, my group went to Magic Kingdom. Sakiko, Azusa, Rikako, and Yurie were in my group. It was really similar to Tokyo Disney Land. I thought it was completely same! But I was still exciting! Because it’s Florida! It’s Disney World!!! We went to “Big Thunder Mountain” first. There were a lot of people who lined and waited for BTM. It was a very common main train roller coaster in Disney theme parks worldwide. There is same one in Tokyo Disney Land also. We joined the long long line with Turkey Leg which is very popular food in Disney World. It was sold everywhere in Disney parks. I love that! And BTM was really good! Next, we went to “Splash Mountain”. It was common coaster also like BTM. I love the coaster. We got wet in the coaster because the coaster splashed water. And we rode many attractions. And we always ate ice cream, ice candy, frozen banana, Mickey cookie ice sand, turkey leg, and many other junk food! i especially loved frozen banana! It was really delicious!

First Things In My Life! ～2～
Continued from last week's blog.
The next moment, I laid down on the ice rink and I could see that a lot of people including Azusa were around me. I felt strong dizzy. I couldn’t understand what was happened. Someone said “Can you stand up and sit down the wheelchair?” to me but I couldn’t. Two men who were staffs of the skate rink supported on both sides under my arms. They made me sit down the wheelchair and pushed it to the ground. They asked me questions, “What’s your name?” “How old are you?” I still strong dizzy but somehow, my head was clear so I replied their questions. I didn’t know why they ask me such questions at the time, but I can understand now that they wanted to know whether I recovered consciousness clearly or not.
I was carried to a small house that was near by the skate rink sitting on the wheelchair. The room was like nurse’s office. There were only a small bed, a small desk, and a small chair. They made me sit on the chair. I felt like I was going to throw up. One woman asked me some questions about my address, ID etc. Then a man came into the room. He was a really kind man. At the time I didn’t notice, but he was a stuff of an ambulance. He and some other people made me lay down on the stretcher. It was the first time that I lay on the stretcher in my life! I couldn’t imagine how I would feel if I laid down on a stretcher before. But it wasn’t comfortable. There were many ropes and it fastened me so tightly. And they put something that held not to move my neck and my head tightly around my neck. It was really uncomfortable.
Then I and Azusa rode on the ambulance. It was the first time that I rode on an ambulance in my life! But I didn’t remember well because I couldn’t move my neck and head and looked over the inside of the ambulance. I could see only light just above me. It might take only short time to arrive hospital, but I felt it took so long time. I felt strong dizzy during I rode on the ambulance and sometimes I couldn’t stand throwing up. I felt so sorry for the people who were around me and helped me. But the kind man said it’s ok brightly. His words made me relieve a little bit.
The ambulance arrived the nearest hospital and I was carried into the hospital’s Emergency Room. It was first time that I went into ER in my life! But I still wore the thing that held my head so I couldn’t look over and know what kind of room that I was in. I thought I was carried into some rooms. I took CT scan (Computed tomography scan) also. The people in the hospital called it “cat scan.” Then, nurses said that I could put off the uncomfortable thing around my neck. Only the moment did I look around me. There was Azusa. She had an anxious expression on her face. But her presence really made me relieve. And I felt so sorry for her. That day would day nice, but because of me, it was messed up. And I didn’t realize how long time past. I slipped on the skate rink around

First Things In My Life!
Last Friday, it was off because it was an alternative day! so I went to Manhattan with my friend, Azusa.
It was little cold, but I could feel that spring season would come soon! We went to Upper West Side first. We went there by subway. I had been interesting in “Popover Cafe” in upper west side so we decided to go there. Since I ate a popover in Hawaii, I really wanted to eat popover again. Popover is a light, hollow muffin made with eggs, milk, and flour. It was hard to find the location of the Popover Café. We could reach at the subway station, but we couldn’t reach the café easily. So we spoke to people who walked the streets. Finally, we could find the café! It was really cute café. There were a lot of teddy bear in the café. We ordered 2 popovers with strawberry butter and an egg benedict on popover. They were really nice! The café was built 30 years ago. I thought the café was popular!
After we finished the branch, we walked through the Central Park. I really love Central Park! There were lots of green and I could feel the nature. It was little cold still, but to walk along the big lake in the park was so agreeable! There were a lot of people who were walking or running. It was really nice time!
We went to nail salon in Upper East Side to make our nails cute. But we didn’t make a reservation so the clerk said “Sorry but we are full today. Please make a reservation and come another day.” I was look forward to be done nail art, so it was little disappointed.
We didn’t plan what we do after we left the nail salon because we thought we could spend time in the nail salon. Then we got nice idea! We talked about skating sometimes so we decided to skate! There were three skate rinks, that I know there location in Manhattan, a skate rink in Bryant Park, a skate rink in Rockefeller Center, and a skate rink in Central park. The one in central park was nearest so we rode on a taxi and went to there. The rink’s name was “Wallman Memorial Rink.” There were a lot of people around the rink. Some skated, and others watched people who were skating. I paid $14 for entrance fee and $5 for skate shoes. I hadn’t skated since I was 4th grade, so it was really hard to skate first. I forgot how to skate. But I could skate! it was very fun! After we skated for 30 minutes, the announce said “please get out of the skate rink and take a rest because we start cleaning the skate rink now.” We sit down the bench around the skate rink and chatted for 30 minutes. After they finished cleaning, we started skating again. I accustomed myself to skate, but still I almost slipped on the ice rink sometimes.
