Report of October's English Club

Hi there!!

October's English club was very unique and interesting. Thank you so much for all who had joined us

This time, we welcomed the guest from Iserael. She was a very energetic woman who had been working as an chemist studying toxicology and pharmacy untill her retirement. And since it was a collaboration of Soirée DE Nara and EU English Club, we had some special things. Firstly, the place. We held the English club in a town house called "

". Secondly, the food. We talked each other; while sitting around the table, eating food. These changes definately helped producing the friendly mood.

Her talk was very interesting and moving.

"I am an lucky person."

She told us about where she was liveng, what happened to her, her life in Iserael etc.(like this!!) Though she had to face a lot of trouble, she did her best and which leaded her to success. According to her, she started her laboratory on her own! Impressive!! It sounded more like a fiction than a true story, though it is a true story.

Anyway. Our next English club will be held in...

Wednesday, November 12th 18:45-20:45

I'll tell you more about it later.

Report of September's English Club

Hi there!!

September 11th's English club was so fun!!

Thank you so much for everyone who joined us!!

This time, we welcomed an owner of an Italian Cafe, LUCAFE (Here!!). Who's name is Gianluca. We also welcomed a Malaysian mother and her 2 doughters (Cindy, Joanne, and Michelle). And the theme of the month was "How did you spend this year’s summer ? And, do you have any exciting plan in the autumn?"

First, Malaysian mother and her 2 daughters told us about difference between Buddhism and Taoism.

Also, about marrige. (Like this!)

After their talk, we talked about things we did in summer and exciting plans in autumn.

And finally, Mr.Gianluca told us about what caused him to start the cafe in Japan, and munu of his cafe (Like this!!). His view was really interesting for me that sometimes, what is nothing secial for us looks very fascinating to people from abroad. Four seasons is one of them. Before opening the cafe in Japan, he was living in Singapore which doesn't have four seasons. So, for four seasons, he decided to open the cafe in Japan. Hearing his talk, I started to feel very sad that I cannot understand the wonder myself because it is too normal for me and decided to look around more to find those wonders.

Anyway, next English Club will be held in...

Tuesday, October 14th

I'll tell you more about it later.

Report of August's English Club

Hi there!!

August 13th's English club was so nice.

Thank you so much for everyone who joined us!!

This time, we welcomed Mr.David Boilley from France and Mr.Flavo Valsecchi from Italy. They told us a lot about monitoring of radioactive substances in Fukushima or differences between Japan and Italy in the term of bicycle competition.

As I wrote, using slides on the screen like in the picture above, Mr.David Boilley told us about monitoring of radioactive substances in Fukushima, such as why he started it and what can be learned from its results.

The best thing I was surprised at was though the accident occurred in Fukushima, Japan, France is affected more than Kyushu. How can it be true? According to Mr.Boilley, this is caused by "the wind power". Wind blows against France from Japan carried the substances with it. How scary the wind power can be!! He said he was also shocked to know radioiodine was detected from the grass of France.

His talk reminded me of words I heard before, "Due to the accident in Fukushima, we can no longer detect artifacts' age by determining radioiodine level." I wonder how wide the range of influence.

After that was the time for introductions & questions. He answered every single question very nicely

Like this!!

After that, Mr.Flavo Valsecchi told us about attractions of bicycle competitions and differences between them in Japan and Italy passionately. I hadn't even known there are differences between them until he told us about it!!

Anyway, next English club is on...

Thursday, September 11th !!!

I'll tell you more later.

Report of April's EU English club

Hi,there!

April's English club was so nice..lively and good atmosphere.

Thank you everyone for joining us and I appreciate your kind support.

Well,the topic was "Tell us about your hometown!".Everyone introduced the favorite spots of their hometown.Though I am already on familiar terms with most of members, through this topic I can see a bit of their lives & other aspects in a new way.

This topic was very nice to deepen our self introduction.

Well, as for me,I introduced Ofusa Kannon Temple near my house.

Ofusa Kannon has been known as the temple of Roses

and Wind chimes

in this past 10-15 years.(When I was little, I remember...it was.....just the simpe temple...)

The name of this temple originated from a local girl called Ofusa. It is said that Ofusa began worship of the Goddess Kannon of this spot, and it was developed into the name of this temple today.

●They have biannual Rose Festival in May & November when roses are in full bloom.In this season, the grounds are filled with rose flowers, and that is so beautiful.

●And Wind Chime festival is held from July to August at the same place.

Wind chimes are hung throughout the temple and its lyrical sound in a hot summer breeze

is amazing and I love it.

In Kashihara-shi, you can see the historical/traditional Japanese establishment in such as Imai-cho or Huda-No-Tsuji(less well-known...?)...calm area and good for promenade.

Well......

........

...............

Oh, I remeber what I have to write!

NEXT ENGLICH CLUB is .... planned on Wednesday 14th May 18:45-20:45

@Nara Seibu Kominkan

Details will be followed later.

Thanks!
