Hello! How’s it going?
There were many events since the  previous reports like Thanksgiving, final exams, volunteering interview, and getting ready for Christmas. Finally, Tomorrow(12/25) is Christmas day! I can’t wait to have a big dinner with my host family and exchange Christmas Presents.  As you’ve already known, Christmas in the United States is greater than Japan's. For example, The right photo is the house’s decoration;especially, at the Peacock Lane, we can see these amazing decorations for one block.  It seems that popular Portland holiday tradition.

Also, during Thanksgiving week I went to Montana with my host family in their camper van. On this trip, we went to three States; Washington,Idaho,and Montana. I really enjoyed all Startes. Spokane, Washington is the best place I’ve ever been. Seattle is the most popular city in Washington, but I prefer Spokane because I felt it was more clean, safe and beautiful.

In January, my volunteer work, which includes a PIA’s course, will start. I hope I can get a lot of knowledge from this experience. Thank you for reading this report.
Have a nice holiday!
