Art Museum

Hello!!

This is Shiori from EDC2.

How is your Spring vacation?

Today I went to Hamamatsu art museum with my mom.

All of the picture were interesting and it attracted me a lot!

After looking the art museum, we took a little walk.


The flowers were beautiful in the Hamamasu castle park.

The picture is plum flower. It was pink and pretty.

The wind is a little cold these days. Don't catch a cold!!

See you soon in SUAC.

Hokkaido

Hi, everyone!
This is Sachiko from EDC2.
How is your vacation? I read your blogs and I thought many students visit some places and enjoy spring vacation.

I went to Hokkaido with my friends. We leave Chubu Centrair International Airport on March 25th. We had stayed in Hokkaido for 3 days.

On the first day, we visited Otaru. We saw Otaru unga and walked around there. As soon as we takes off the bus, it started to snow. We met a kind man there! He told us something about Otaru! We ate Sushi for the lunch. Scallop is very delicious!!
At the night, we stayed at a hotel in Asahikawa. We had the dinner at a bar in Asahikawa. We ordered some dishes. Of course, potato is very delicious and scallop is also delicious!!

On the second day, we visit Asahikawa and Hakodate. In the morning, we visited some museum in Asahikawa and Asahiyama zoo. In Asahiyama zoo, we saw many animals! We saw wolf, too. We were surprized at the information... A wolf died because of fighting with another wolf there... Anyway, I will show you my most favorite picture, penguin! It is eating snow!!

After that, we went to Hakodate by bus to see its night view. When we arrived at Mt. Hakodate, it is nice weather to see night view. But, when we arrived at the top of the mountain we could not see its night view by snowstorm. I was very sad...
At the night, we had buffet supper at the hotel. They are very delicious! I want to eat some more, but I didn't have enough time to eat. After that, we soaked in a hot spring at the hotel. We enjoyed open-air bath, too!!

We relaxed at that night without anticipating a trouble on next day...

Afterwords, I will talk about next day.

Good-by Party

Hello, everyone.I'm Miho from EDC2.

How do you spend your spring vacation?

I don't want to believe that this spring vacation will end soon.

I have been working at the restaurant near Suac since last year.

In my part time job, I learned a lot of thing.

On March 25th, I held a good-by party for my coworker.

The girl who are standing next to me leave our work in order to go to university.

In the day, we were talking a lot of thing. For example, about the future, about the love and so on. I enjoyed talking with them. Also we enjoyed eating delicious food. We ate "Kimuchi Nabe" and potate salad and Chineze noodle and so on.

I want to gather same member and coworker who can't come this party.

Enjoy the rest of your spring vacation.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone.

My Trip to France!

Hi! I'm Sayaka Ikeda from EDC2.

How is your spring vacation?

I have been to France from 16th March to 22th March.
This is the first time for me to go abroad!!
I had a lot of worries.

I stayed in Paris and saw the sights of Paris.
For example, I went to the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dome, Musée du Louvre and so on...

All sights were so nice!

I was moved in Musée d'Orsay in particular.

In addition, I went to Versailles and Roean.
I enjoyed very much!

I was helped to go sightseeing by many people.

Thanks to them, I could enjoy in France without big troubles.

When I misunderstood trains, people helped me kindly.

I deeply appreciated their cooperation!

I want to go abroad next long vacation!

Before next trip, I want to make progress in English and French!

Driver's license

Hello, I'm Yumi from EDC2.


How about your spring vacation?

I had been to the driving school for a month.
And, I could get a drivier's license!
In February, I spend much time to get a driver's license.
Therefore, I could not play with my friends.
But, I could lead a full days during going to the driving school.

Firstly, I was afraid of driving a car and I worried about the exam.
But, after graduation, I want to drive a car!
During this spring vacation, I want to go for a drive.


Tomorrow is circule's day!
I'm looking forward to go.
But, maybe tomorrow will be the last day that I can play "ultimate"
with my almost seniors.
I feel lonely a little, but I want to enjoy!

Okinawa

Hello, everyone. This is Yuka from EDC 2.
I have been to Okinawa for five days from Mt. Fuji Shizuoka Airport. I went to Okinawa with my best friend. One of the purpose of this trip is to take Mt. Fuji Shizuoka Airport. I felt it was good airport because it was very simple. I could pass the gate smoothly. Big airport is complicated and crowded. Mt. Fuji Shizuoka Airport is small and surrounded nature. Passenger can look at Green carpet.

The temperature in Okinawa is hotter than Shizuoka. I wore T-shirt and beach sandal. Of course, sunglasses and hat were needed.
I went famous aquarium where big sharks were kept. People enjoy dolphin show. My best spot is touching place. I like touching sea cucumber and starfish. It was soft and flexible. I felt good!
Thank you for reading.

Book review "The Thirty-Nine Steps" by John Buchan

Hi, everyone! This Sachiko from EDC2.
How is your vacation? I join the brass band club to practice for the spring concert or some events.

Yesterday, I finished reading the book "The Thirty-Nine Steps" written by John Buchan. The level of this book is 4 by Oxford Bookworms Library. This story is mysterious. So I enjoyed reading this book! I want to tell you the story of "The Thirty-Nine Steps".


Richard Hannay had spent in Africa and came back in Britain. But, nothing exciting ever seems to happen in England, so he is feeling bored.
One day, Scudder, who lives in Richard's flat, visited Hannay. After that, when Hannay returned to his flat, Scudder was killed... 'There was a long knife through his heart.' So, Hanny was suspected of murder.

Hanny run away and try to solve the mystery. Then, he meets some people and he talks with them. They are very kind and help him, but they may not be true supporter...

It is very attractive mysterious story! If you like mysterious story, I recommend you to read this book!

Thank you for reading!

Do you enjoy your spring vacation and have a good time?

I have seen blooming cherry blossom which blooms earlier than others.
Spring is coming soon!

By the way, I want to talk about my club trip.
I went to Nagano to play snow board with my club friends.



Even the news that it snowed broadcasts in Shizuoka.
However, it was covered with the snow in Nagano.





My club friends and I had not played snow board for one year.
So, we worried about that whether we could play it, or not.
However, we could play it soon.

The picture was taken from the top of the hill.




To my surprised, Nagano have a culture that people eat a raw horse!

Sushi sold in Service Area.





Though I was very tired because I had not play it for one year, I had a very good time thanks for my club friend!

To tell the truth, I went to Nagano again to plays now board next one week:)



I hope that you also have a good spring vacation.

See you in spring semester!

English Week☆ ～host family～

Hi! This is Sachiko from EDC2.
How is your spring vacation?

The students at Colorado College came to Hamamatsu on February 20.
In addition, they had stayed at SUAC student's home for 6 days. Also, they studied at SUAC, and went to some places.

A student, Christina stayed at my home.
I live alone in Hamamatsu, so it is good chance for me because my family does not accept that a visitor from foreign country stay at home, they cannot speak English and they are very shy. It was very good experience for me!!

I imaged English all the time. So, I was tired and it is really good experience for me. But, I cannot speak English well. I am sad... If I could speak English better, I would make her more entertain.

However, I had a good time with her. I am very happy!!

Last day, we had a party at SUAC. After that, Colorado College students and SUAC students went to Karaoke. We had a very good time there! I took a movie. Please listen to a song by Colorado College students!! Do you know this song?!
