My first week in Wales

Hi! This is Toshiki from EDC3. How is your summer vacation?

I'm in Wales for English program. My first week there went by quickly. Everything I see there is new for me! The weather is so changeable; it gets warm or cold, and it suddenly starts to rain. Wales is blessed by nature, so I can see the beautiful scenery in many places.


English classes are fun! Kelly is an English tutor, and Kathleen is a British Culture tutor. They're good teachers. Kelly teaches us some Welsh phrases. For example, 'Thank you' is 'Diolch' in Welsh. The pronunciation is so difficult, but interesting.

British food is so different from Japanese food. I eat many potatoes at every lunch and dinner. Everyday I see chips, chips, chips, chips, chips! I should have brought some miso soup...
There is a big supermarket TESCO near the university. I can buy anything I want there. Of course, many potatoes are sold, and the department is larger than the other! I miss Japanese food, but British food is delicious.
(Dish in left picture is 'Fish and Chips', and dish in the right is 'Afternoon Tea'.)

Free days are coming, and I'm planning where to go with my friends. There are many attractive spots I want to visit! Next post will be about free days.

Today I had classes till 8 p. m. , so I was so tired. I'm going to sleep.
Nos da! (Good night!)

Trip to Osaka

Hello!
I'm Mayu from EDC3.
Do you enjoy your summer vacation?
I enjoy my summer vacation!!

Last week, I went to Osaka with my sister.
It was very hot, but I visited many places.
I am going to talk about Osaka Castle, Adventure World (in Wakayama), and Tutenkaku.

First, I visited Osaka Castle.


Do you know ''Gou'' (TV drama)?
This castle was built by Hideyoshi Toyotomi, and he is a key person in this TV drama.
I watch this TV drama,too, so I was excited.

Next day, I went to Adventure World in Wakayama.
There are many pandas!! They were very cute!!
I love pandas and I wanted taking many pictures,
but there were a lot of people, so I couldn't take many pictures...
However, pandas were very very cute!!!
I was very happy☆

Last day, I visited Tutenkaku. It is a very high tower.
I did not know that Tutenkaku has very long history.
Do you know that the designer of Tokyo Tower and Tutenkaku is same person?
And the view from this tower was very good!!

I stayed in Osaka only for 3 days, it was very short.
I want to go to Osaka again!



Thank you!!

Hello, I am Sayaka Yamada from EDC3.

I want tell you about circle trip following last blog.

My circle members played soccer and beach soccer.

We played soccer in the ground at first day,
but we played soccer in the beach at second day.



It was second experience to play beach soccer in my life.


Beach soccer was very hard sports,
because sand is very hot with fine day
