開智国際日本語学校(Kaichi International School of Japanese)

Have you heard of Myanmar rock-paper-scissors? In Myanmar’s version, players compete as the Tiger, the Police, or the Gun. The Tiger beats the Police but loses to the Gun. The Police lose to the Tiger but beat the Gun (because they can control it). The Gun loses to the Police but beats the Tiger. That’s the power relationship! 🐯👮‍♀️🔫 The photo on the left shows the Police pose, and the right shows the Tiger pose. At our school, students from Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Mongolia study together. The students get along very well across nationalities and show mutual respect for each other’s cultures 😊 They chat in Japanese in class, so their conversation skills improve.

I went to Seilon Green, a Sri Lankan restaurant five minutes on foot from Hachioji Station, tucked behind Don Quijote. The building itself has a very unique shape that many say resembles a Minecraft Nether Fortress. I tried kottu, a Sri Lankan casual dish. Kottu is made by stir-frying wheat-based noodles with vegetables. It was a bit spicier than other Hachioji restaurants I’ve tried before, so the sweetness and fizz of the ginger beer (a Sri Lankan soft drink) felt refreshing in my mouth. With more Sri Lankan students enrolling at our school, I’m really happy to have a Sri Lankan restaurant in Hachioji. When I told the students I’d eaten there, they were very pleased. I plan to try another dish next time. 😊

Today I’m introducing Papperburg, a very famous café in Hachioji. The café features interior design inspired by southern Germany and offers delicious coffee and desserts. I had the seasonal parfait this time. Beyond its artistic appearance, the parfait’s multiple layers of jelly and cream enhance the flavor of the seasonal fruits. A professor from Tama Art University designed the interior, so you’ll find lovely details no matter where you sit. You can take a bus from Hachioji Station. It’s a bit far from the station, but it’s a café worth visiting at least once!

It is a nationally designated important cultural property in the Imperial Palace, the former Edo Castle Outer Sakurada Gate. The outer Sakurada Gate is famous for the "Sakurada Gate Outside Incident" of the assassination of Naoya Ii by the ronin of the Mito clan in 1860. This incident was caused by the suppression carried out by the shogunate, the "Great Prison of Ansei". After the incident, the authority of the shogunate was lost, and the Edo period, which lasted 265 years, came to an end.

It is a Japanese antelope that I met when I went to Okutama Town, Tokyo. He gave me a look at the camera, so I took a picture. The Japanese antelope is a herbivorous mammal endemic to Japan that lives in Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu, excluding Hokkaido and the Chugoku region. The scientific name is Capricornis crispus, which belongs to the subfamily Goats of the artiodactyl bovine family. Due to overfishing, the number has decreased, and it was designated as a special natural monument of Japan in Showa 30. From the summer of 2022 to the fall of 2023, I went to Okutama about four times, and I was able to meet two of them, so I think there is a good chance that we will meet.
