Seattle and Kobe

Haruka

I felt like I was in Kobe because Seattle is similar to my hometown Kobe. This was the first time I went to Seattle, but I was familiar with the city. At first, I didn’t know why. However, after I spent three days in Seattle, I realized that Seattle is similar to Kobe; both cities have a baseball stadium, a tower and a beautiful night view.

Seattle and Kobe have a baseball stadium. A famous person in Seattle and Kobe is the same. Both cities are famous for Ichiro. My image of Ichiro is Kobe because Ichiro’s home ground was Kobe. Many people came to Kobe to see Ichiro. Now, his home ground is Safeco Field. After I saw his big poster in Seattle, my image of Ichiro changed from Kobe to Seattle.

Both cities have a beautiful view of the tower. The view from the Space Needle and the Port Tower are beautiful. Seattle and Kobe have a famous tower. Seattle has the Space Needle and Kobe has the Port Tower. They are not exactly the same, but the Space Needle reminds me of the Port Tower. From the Space Needle, we can see mountains, rivers, and Seattle city. From the Port Tower, we can see mountains, sea, and Kobe city. Consequently, the view from the Port Tower is similar to the view from the Space Needle.

The most similar point between Seattle and Kobe is the night view. While cruising on one of the Argosy ships, I could see the wonderful night view, and it was almost the same view that I saw in Kobe. The tall tower was sparkling, many buildings were twinkling, and the water was shining. When I saw the night view in Seattle, I forgot that I was in Seattle. In another word, I thought I was in Kobe.
Seattle and Kobe are different cities, but there are many similarities. I like both cities. Seattle is far from Kobe, but the appearance is not far from Kobe. That’s why I felt like I was in Kobe.
