Japanese in Minnesota

I talk about Japanese In Minnesota. i met my host family at Airport and we went History of Snelling. There are many material about Minnesota's history and war. We can study about it. I was surprised because there were Japanese language material. Host father asked me you can read it? and is it collect? So, I tried to read it, I could read a few line but some questions were difficult to read because the Chinese character is too old.

 My host sister, likes to do Karate. The girl who wear the white shoes is Katie. I talked her Karate's friends they were teenager. She was good Karate player. She practiced so hard, twice in a week. American Karate was not same Japanese Karate. However, there are many kinds of color of OBI, that was same. They try to get more good color.

 The other day, we went to COMO ZOO with family. There is Bonsai house. My host family taught me this　garden made by Japanese person. 1997 Mr Matuda planed the garden for sister-city celebration. I heard  that there is tea ceremony room too. In front of the garden, there is a signboard that explain that things. The park was so beautiful, there is a pond, TOUROU and many Japanese tree. My host family said "What do you feel this? Like a home?" I could felt Japanese but I was there with my host family, I felt a little funny.
 In Minnesota, there are Japanese food restaurant. The name is Osaka. People can eat Sushi but my friends said that it is not Japanese food. haha
If you visit another country, you try to find Japanese there. Maybe you can enjoy that time. I want to hear about it and your feeling. I'm interested in it.
