We enjoyed beautiful scenes of the park, where, besides a lot of green
bushes and lawns, there were trees whose leaves had begun to turn red and
yellow. Some red flowers also added to this beauty. Away from the noise
of the city, we relaxed and enjoyed ourselves walking. Why don't you join
us next time? We will keep you informed about the date & place in our

Let's cook and eat Gyoza PartyDate:11/18/2000 UNESCO School administration committee
Elementary schools are closed every alternate Saturdays, but this day they
were open. So, we planned it in the afternoon. People started to gather
from around 2 p.m., and we observed that the kitchen was soon full of people.
The students, who are cooking the experts, started their work and soon
became busy cooking. We need a big stock of meat, vegetables and flour
to make as many Gyoza as to fill our stomachs full. Getting those ingredients
is not an easy job. Also, you have to work little hard to eat kitchen was
soon full of people. The students, who are cookingexperts, started their work and soon became busy cooking. We need a big
stock of meat, vegetables and flour to make as many Gyoza as to fill our
stomachs full. Getting those ingredients is not an easy job. Also, you
have to work little hard to eat the delicious Gyoza. As China is a big
country, the way of preparing and eating varies depending on the districts.
This means we could enjoy varieties of Gyoza luckily.
This year the another attraction was chiffon cake made by Miss Kawai, who
also taught the children how to make it. It was a great success. Another
young lady, Miss Aoki, who has learnt music specializing in playing marimba
in China, spoke to the people around in Chinese. So, over all it was busy
but very enjoyable event thanks to the help of many people.
Congratulations to Maiko Mochida for her new last name from Kawakita,
on account of her recent marriage. |
