The Journey of the Aki'sBrooke and Jason

Our homeland

Kyoto is where we are originally from.

We are a family of four.

Our parents were writers and printers.

We were not very rich in Japan but we are planning on starting over when we land in Angel island.

Our

family

Our HomelandWhen we left we were very sad that we

had to leave the whole country of

Japan.I loved my home land, but it was

time to go because we were not as

wealthy as we could be.So we wanted

to move to America because we wanted

a better life.

What we had

to say by to.

We had to leave our father behind because the ship was already sold out.When we finally reached angel island we had to wait 3 days on the ship.Then we waited 1 day to actually get out of the

boarding site.The boat that we traveled and waited three days was not the most pleasant it smelled really bad, and the ship was jam packed.The boat was so packed we couldn't even sit down and,

there was two big men squashing me.

Our voyage

This is the ship we

took to Angel island

Angel island

The arrival When we got there the guys that

met us were not very nice but its not like they weren't mean or anything.We were

not marked because we don't have any problems with our body's. So they just put our numbers on our chests and we left like a happy Japanese family.That

was after we got checked by the doctors.

People on the ship People getting of the ship

We had a big opportunity to move to the

big city of Chicago.So we took the chance and moved

to Chicago by train and there was a lot of room on that

train so we could sit down.When we settled in Chicago

Our parents became writers and printers for the Chicago

tab.

Settling in the new country

The dinner we had before we left was Sushi

Since we were leaving Japan that day we had our favorite

dish from Japan.The dish was the famous Japanese dish
