     Our school festival will finaly hold after one month later. We Latin club is alreadty preparing for it and are looking forword it. We"ll sell a Latin food like Tacos and Wakamore. Unfortunately, the tyhoon caught our school festivel last year, so visitors are not so much . I hope lots of people come and eat our food. Also, I want you to buy it.  I sure it is so good. if I sell it, I can give you discount! So, please call me.     The follow picture is the one I made last year.


 The worst of it is that we can't sell any alchool this year because we draw the lottery. I'm so shocked about it. But I'll do my best!

Miori Yamaguchi

   Hi, everyone! How's your summer vacation?
   The other days, I went Tokyo Disney Sea with my circle's friends. Do you like Disney? I really love it!
By the way, do you know these characters?
The left character is named Shellie May, and the right is named Duffy.
Aren't they so cute? I like it. They are all my familly's.
   The day I went Disney Sea was fine day, so it was really hot. In spite of it is September, the park was packed with a lot of customers. But I really enjoy and had a nice time in there.
   Now, I'm so happy that I'm going to Tokyo Disney Land next week. I'm very looking forward to going there!! Thank you!



Blog #8: Best friends in Toronto

Tatsushi Iwamoto

Hi! Good morning! I am Tatsushi. As I wrote in blog 7, I spent 6 weeks in Toronto. In blog8, I’d like to write about my best friends in Toronto.

While I was in Toronto, I commuted to language school and in the school I met so many people came from all over the world and made friends with many good people.

At first, in the first class in the language school, I met very good guy. His name is Malac. He comes from Saudi Arabia and 22 years old. He is very funny person, so he usually made me happy. Saudi Arabian cultures were very interesting for me. For example, his farther has 4 wives and they live in same house, so he said I had 15siblings. In addition, during the lunch time, I often went to restaurant or fast food shop with him. However, during August, he never ate anything and drank even water in there. At first, I was surprised to see it, so I asked him why you did not eat anything. He answered I believed in Islam, so during August during the day I had to do fast, so I could not eat or drink anything. These are not common in Japan, so they are interesting for me. This picture was taken in September.



Nest, in my class, there was one shy girl. Her name is Lea. She comes from France and 19 years old. In France, she is second-year student in the university and her major is law. She was very shy like me, so we could become a good friend. Her favorite phrase was “oh-la-la”. When I heard the word at the first time, I asked her what the word meant. However, she said “oh-la-la” meant “oh-la-la”. She likes beer, so we usually go to pub near the school after the class.



I met more people including Japanese in the school. Now I miss them! I want to go many countries to see them.

Blog #7: Toronto!

Tatsushi Iwamoto

     Hi! I’m Tatsushi. At first, I want to say that I am sorry for the late blog. I spent 6 weeks in Toronto and I came back to Tokyo yesterday. I thought I could use the internet there. However, because of Wi-Fi trouble, I could not use my computer, so now I am writing this article.

     During the summer vacation, I went to Toronto and spent 6 weeks as I wrote in the first paragraph. It was first time to go abroad. The reason I chose Toronto is that I wanted to learn another country’s culture and I knew there were so many races.

     I stayed with Canadian woman in Toronto. She is 45 years old and police. She usually told me Canadian culture and I learned many things. She said if I choose Canadian typical cultures, I will select hockey, Tim Hortons, hotdog and maple syrup. I’d like to introduce Tim Hortons and hotdog.

     At first, I have a question. Do you know Tim Hortons? I think you don’t know this name. This is a kind of coffee shop. This name is derived from one hockey player’s name. I could see this shop everywhere in Toronto. This shop is more popular than Sterbucks in Toronto, because coffee and foods are cheaper. My host said every Canadian likes Tim Hortons. I don’t know it is true or not.



     Next is hotdog. There are so many hotdog stands in Toronto and many people use them. We can buy hotdog, drink and eat it on the street. It depends on area, but one hotdog is about 2 dollars and one drink is about 1 dollar in my hometown, Don Mills. I liked it because it is very cheap, but it is big and I could even put onion, tomato, pickles, corn, and paprika on the hotdog by myself.


     If you want to know more information about them, please say something to me!
