Language Lounge

I will talk about the review of visitors.

I interviewed two Japanese students and one international student.

First, Japanese student said he doesn't use Language Lounge often. He sometimes comes to learn Chinese and Spanish.

The other student said it is good to make some friends of foreign countries. And they went to Karaoke and staid at home all day and did a party with them as private.

Second, I interviewed an international student. He comes to Language Lounge everyday to teach English for Japanese student, not to learn Japanese himself. But, he said he can improve Japanese too because of use of Language Lounge.

We can improve not only foreign language (for example Korean, French, German and so on) but also we can interchange with a lot of foreign country's students.

If you go this area, you may feel international society.

The Four Season's Japanese Food

This time, I am going to tell about the four seasons food.


First, I recommend to foreign people Chirashi-zushi in spring. There are tow kinds in Chirashi-zushi. One is just putting some ingredients on vinegary rice. The other one is mixing ingredients on vinegary rice. Japanese eat them when we go to see the cherry blossom viewing. So it is good to fun the Japanese food and beatiful views.


In summer, I reccomend Nagashi-Somen. Somen is famous for Japanese summer food. It is perfect to be cool and refresh in hot humid days. If foreign people want to male some good memories, Nagashi-Somen is the best way to be fun.


In autumn, I want to introduce Matutake-gohan. This smell is good and familiar for japanese. However for Europeans and Americans, it is not familiar with this smell. It is said that this smell is like a smell od Army's socks or smell of parson who don't take a bath for a long times.


In winter, I want to recommend Shabu-Shabu. This is Japanese pot food. It is good for the party generally. Sauce is Gomadare or Ponzu . Eating with Tonyu is Japanese custom too. So they can enjoy the Japanese taste.

La Tomatina

I introduce about history of La Tomatina.
La Tomatina started in the 1940s. But the beginnings are not known very well.
There are some storong beliefs of the beginnings.

First, people began to fight the front of the vegetable store and throw tomatoes each other.

Second, tomatoes were thrown among the residents in the fight of class.

Third, residents who have dissatisfaction about politics threw tomatoes against gorvernments. After that , people began to bring tomatoes and throw them on the same day, every year. So the government decided that day as tomato's day. This gradually be more violent and forbidden at once. However, a lot of residents protested at this and started again next year.

This was the beginning of La Tomatina.

If you want to know about La Tomatina, let's check the good website, Wikipedia.

By the way this is leaning 5 degrees. People started construction work in 1173. However, it was interrupted many times so this construction had been completed in 1372. 800 years have passed since this construction start to lean. The leaning of tower of Pisa is famous too as Galileo did an experiment of gravity.

Disneyland in California

Restaurant/Goods and Souvenir/Ending



At first, I'll introduce restaurants. Most restaurants are located in hotels. We can shake hands or take a photo with your favorite character. So we can enjoy having a meal with Disney characters. There are not only restaurants but a lot of food shops like store of parfait inside this park.

Next I'll introduce some Disney goods. There are in Downtown Disney of Disneyland. This park is the biggest Disney store in the world so it is great to buy goods and souvenirs. There are many goods like T-shirts, clocks, action figures and sweets for souvenirs. This is great place to buy for souvenir.

We think Disneyland in California is the best theme park. Everything is on a big scale. Of course there are a lot of things which are not in Disneyland of Japans because America is the home. If you have a chance to travel, why don't you visit Disneyland in California and have fun!
