hanami party

Hello, I am Sayaka Yamada from EDC2.
What about your spring vacation?
Are you having a good time?
I went to Hamamatsu castle park to see cherry blossoms with my club members recently.




The day before it, I had a hailstorm (hailstorm is grains of ice!) in Iwata.
So, I worried the weather and whether we could hold the hanami party.
However, it was very good day.

I bring side dishes.
But, members and I ate soon!

It was left only parsley....
And my family runs Japanese sweets shop since Edo era.
My father made us kashiwamotchi.

A piece of cherry blossom is on it:)



It is not too much that Japanese spring is cherry blossom.
We had a very very good time.


See you later!

Hi, I am Sayaka Yamada from EDC2.
I want to tell about my seminar trip.

I am going to take a seminar in sports culture.

So, my seminar teacher took me and other students to Nagano to snowboard.


I had been second time to snowboard in this season.
I was tired not so much and I could step up a little bit:)

I could not get on the lift machine well at the fist time.
I could get on it well in this time.
To my surprised, my seminar teacher made good weather.When I arrived at hotel, prepared to snowboard, and went to the a skiing slope, it was clouded and very cold.

However, she went to the top of the hill with the lift machine and started to snowboard, it started to be sunny!

It was very very good trip!

my small trip to Nara

Hi, everyone.
I'm Eri from EDC2.

The day before yesterday, I went to Nara with my younger sister.

First, we visited Naramachi. There are many old Japanese houses.
We had lunch at a restaurant in Naramachi.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　
After that we went to Todai-ji.
I have visited there 2 years ago, but this was first time for her.
I like the Great Buddha of Nara very much because it makes my feelings calm.
We could see a nice view of Nara city from Nigatsu-do.



I wanted to visit Kohuku-ji because there are some statues which I really wanted to see.
However we didn't have enough time to see it.

We stopped at Kyoto on the way home.
I love Kyoto tower!
I was satisfied to buy yatsuhashi.

We want to go to Nara again, and also Kyoto!

Book review

Hi. This is Sayaka Ikeda from EDC2.
A new school semester will start soon.
I am very sad and nervous.
I don’t want to get up early…

I have finished reading a book.
I want to introduce ‘Cranford’. This book was written by Elizabeth Gaskell.

Cranford is the name of town. It is held by ladies. Ladies are unfashionable and prefer old ways. In addition, Cranfordians (residents of Cranford) consider that it is vulgar to give anything expensive to eat and drink. In other words, Cranfordians think spending money is vulgar. However, people must not talk about being poor.

There are some stories of Cranford in this book. It is mainly about human relations; for example, they are friend relations, family problem and love. Cranfordians sometimes have quarrels. But they solve human relations problems. In the end, Cranfordians cooperate and help one of the Cranfordians. Then all Cranfordians live comfortably .

This book is easy to read and fun. I could learn the importance of cooperation from this book. If you have time, please read this book.

Thank you for youe reading! Please enjoy the rest of vacation!

Hokkaido2

Hello!
This is Sachiko from EDC2.

Today is April Fools Day!! Do you play tricks on someone?!

I want to continue a talk about my trip to Hokkaido.

On the final day, we visited Hakodate.
First, we visited the convent. I was not interested in convent or sister. But, I am interested in that by hearing about the story from the guide.

Next, we visited Goryoukaku. We went up the tower and viewed it. It was very nice view!! I wanted to learn the history more!!
After that, we visited Hakodate Motomati. We could see town hall or church... many attractive buildings.


Then, we visited Hakodate Asaichi (morning market). We ate Kaisenndon. I don't like raw fish so much... But, it is very delicious!!
Finally, we visited Onuma Kouen. But, we could not see the beautiful view (my mother said it is beautiful view!!) because of terrible snowstorm...




The weather was terrible snowstorm... We had a plan to go back New Chitose Airport by bus. But, the expressway was blocked by the snowstorm. So, we change from the bus to the train. We could arrived at the airport safely, but we didn't have enough time to buy souvenirs!!
Then we checked in, but many flights delayed because of snowstorm... Our flight also had about 90 minutes delay.
We arrived at Chubu Centrair International Airport around 11 at night. So we could not go back home... We stayed at comic cafe for the night. Then we went back home early morning.

Some problems happened, but I enjoyed very much!! Of course, it is nice to go to Hokkaido in winter, but I think Hokkaido is the best place to visit all year around!!

I want to go to Hokkaido again!!


See you! I'm looking forward to meeting you!

Kakegawa flower and bird park

Hello, I'm Yumi from EDC2.

Today is start of April!
Spring vacation is coming to an end.
I'm so sad.


The day before yesterday, I went to the Kakegawa flower and bird park
with my club's members.
We assembled at the Kakegawa station at about one o'clock.
And, we went to the Kakegawa flower and bird park by the senior's car.
The Kakegawa flower and bird park is near the Kakegawa station.
The day is so crowded with many families.



At the first, we saw many ducks and penguins and pelicans and so on...
We could see their animals at very close range.
If we try to touch their animals, we can touch!
But, I think we should not touch.

Next, we saw many birds.
There were various kinds of bird.
Birds were very colorful and cute!
Especially, owls was so cute and there were various kinds.
But, there were many birds that I don't know and see.
Their birds were flying freely, therefore some people were settled by birds.
My friends were tried to be settled on their arm.

Next, we saw flamingo and water birds.
Some water birds were outdoors.
And, we watched flying show of the hawk and the owl there.
The hawk was very big and powerful!
In addition, the hawk was flying near the head.
I was very surprised.

We were this park for about four hours.
I enjoyed this park so much!
We went out this park and we went for a dinner.
After the dinner, we played the billiards and table tennis for some hours.
When I came home, it was past 24 o'clock!
We played all day long and the day was very full.

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.
