My hand-written, Japanese article about El Paso, Texas in "Amigo," the Kurashiki Goodwill Guide newsletter, 1/2012
Below is the English translation of the article; it reads a bit choppy, but flows smoothly in Japanese, I think.
El Paso, Texas, USA Johnny Mendoza Govea
My hometown is El Paso, Texas, USA. ”Texas” is a Native American word. It means “friend.” Of course, English is spoken. Yet with Mexico being so close by, Spanish is also spoken.
Some famous foods from Texas are steak, chilli beans, Texas toast, etc. The portions per person in Texas cooking are double the size of regular American portions. It’s really a feast!
Texas is widely spread out as a state with various geographical features. NASA is in Houston, a flat area. El Paso is in the desert and is called the “Sun City.” Thanks to the nearby Rocky Mountains, no tornadoes hit the city.
El Paso’s sunsets are very beautiful. They’re worth to see!
