I went to Minnesota in America to study English and American culture. The population of Minnesota is about 5 million. This is 21st in America. The state capital is St. Paul. And Minnesota has ten thousand lakes.

We stay with an American family for a month. They are very kind. I spent good time with them. They think me true family. My host mother is good at cooking. All dishes were delicious. And she cooked rice for me. I cooked Japanese dishes for them. I cooked an omlet containing fried rice, rice balls, gyoza. They liked them. Also I gave some Japanese dishes recipe.

In Minnesota, there is the biggest shopping mall in America. Its name is Mall Of America. There are more than 500 shops, amusement park and aquarium. We bought many things here. We had a good time here.

I had many experiences in Minnesota. Our first activity is Mississippi River cruise. We can see many wonderful views. And I reminded one movie, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. And we did canoe trip. We canoed for about 3 hours. I was so tired. But view was so nice and I enjoyed very much. There were many mosquitoes.
