Hello,

On April 23, I am planning to go to Seattle to watch baseball and see Ichiro and the Seattle Mariners play against Hideki Matsui and the Oakland Athletics.

I am hoping to find some new Japanese friends that are interested to go to Seattle on April 23. If you are not interested in baseball, that's ok too. You can enjoy more free time in downtown Seattle.

Before the baseball game, we can take some nice photos at the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival. (April 23-24 is the last weekend to view the the tulips AND watch baseball.) Also, we will go shopping at the Seattle Premium Outlet Mall for a couple of hours.

After the baseball game, we can visit Pike Place Market, 1st Starbucks store, Cheesecake Factory and other stores such as Abercrombie & Fitch, Victoria's secret and Patagonia.

We can also visit Snoqualmie Falls but maybe we need to stay one night in Seattle. This waterfall is one of Washington state's most popular scenic attractions.

I really enjoy making new Japanese friends. I am hoping to find 3 or 4 members to join me.

If you are interested in going to Seattle on April 23, please send me an e-mail with your name and telephone number. We can meet for coffee and talk about the Seattle trip. I will invite one of my Japanese friends to join us (You can invite your friend too!) so she can help you if you have any questions. If you are shy, the entire conversation can be in Japanese.

I hope some people will join me. Let's have a great day in Seattle together!

Have a nice day!

Yu
