My first 1-month in Denver, Colorado

(This is the blog I wrote for Up with Peopleちょっと高校生のはじめてのホームステイ体験！みたいな文章になった笑)



          Away from my home, Tokyo, I’m staying with my sweet host family Cindy and Bob Pearson, here in Broomfield, Colorado.

         My name is Mie Ozaki from Japan and I am going to travel with Up with People as cast B, 2012. I am a senior student at Waseda University in Japan. In Japan, it is very common to start job-hunting when you are in 3rd year but I decided to take a half-year off from school and join Up with People! It’s been a month since cast B has started but I’ve already started feeling that it is going to be a very precious experience in my life.

        Today, I would like to share a little bit about my home stay experience in Colorado. My host mom is such an amazing chef and she always prepares wonderful meals for us. Whenever, I get tired of long practice, her meals always make me happy☺ Even though I studied in Toronto for 10 months as an exchange, since I lived in university dorm at that time, I didn’t have chance to get to know the local family. But now, through home-stay with local people, I am able to get to know the real local people’s life. My host mother has a bunch of cooking books and her kitchen is just like what I’ve seen in the movie. Since my host family has a membership with local farm, every week, we get a variety of vegetables and fruits from local farm. They said they even don’t know what they would get from farm each week so they always enjoy what the farm gives them and some of the vegetables and fruits will come along with recommended recipes. So, I’m learning cooking from my host mother every day.

 

     
  Although I’ve been busy with preparing for the show on weekdays, weekend is the very good time to spend my time with host family. One of the weekends, my host family took me to their cottage in West cliff. Colorado has fabulous peaks of Rocky Mountains. Apart from my daily life, I had such a relaxing time up in the mountain. I appreciate my host family who made my life in Colorado wonderful and thank you very much for having my roommate, Chiquita Robinson and me. Thank you very much! Arigatou!!

初舞台まで後３日！
