Do you know Myanmar rock-paper-scissors? Myanmar rock-paper-scissors is said to be fought with "tigers", "police" and "guns". Tigers are strong against the police, but weak against guns. The police are vulnerable to tigers, but they are strong with guns (because they can control the guns). Guns are weak against the police, but they are strong against tigers. That's the power relationship! ?? ♀️? The photo on the left is a police pose, and the one on the right is a tiger pose! Students from Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Mongolia study at our school. The students get along very well across borders and respect each other's cultures. ?

A 5-minute walk from Hachioji Station, we went to the Sri Lankan restaurant "Ceylon Green" behind Don Quijote. The building itself has a very unique shape, and many people are reminded of Minecraft's Nether Fortress. This time I ate a Sri Lankan B-grade gourmet called "Kottu". Kottu is a dish of noodles made of wheat flour with vegetables. It was a little spicy than other Hachioji restaurants I had eaten at before, so the sweetness and carbonation of ginger beer (Sri Lankan juice) was pleasant to the mouth. The number of Sri Lankan students has also increased at our school, so we are very happy to have a Sri Lankan restaurant in Hachioji. ? I'm going to try another dish.

We look forward to working with you again this year. Notices outside the school have become New Year's greetings from various countries. In addition, since classes will resume today, we also started writing.

A Mongolian student said, "There are many fatal accidents caused by snow in the country, so we should build such a facility." It's very important to be prepared for anything and to gain knowledge!

A new 100 yen ramen shop has opened on Kuwato Terrace, a 5-minute walk from Hachioji Station, where the illumination is very beautiful. On the opening day, it was featured in the news and became a very hot topic. The students are also full of rumors. It's limited to 100 meals a day, so even if you go after school, it's sold out.

Today, I would like to introduce "Fuya Bread", which has been in Hachioji for more than 100 years. This shop is a 2-minute walk from Hachioji station. It's a very personal story, but it's also the bakery where my grandmother, who passed away two years ago at the age of 99, used to eat when she was a child. My grandmother told me that she used to eat anpan a lot, so I bought anpan and three loaves of bread. The bread was small in size and had a very nostalgic earthy taste. There are so many international students who get addicted to Japanese bread and get fat. There are many ?✨ unique shops such as popular melon bakeries and traditional bakeries in Hachioji.

I would like to introduce you to the "Ramen and Tsukemen Specialty Store Original Toshiratei Binbin Main Store" in front of the school. This is a ramen with plenty of onions, just like the Hachioji ramen I introduced earlier. Even when I visited, the store was so popular with foreigners that you could hear languages other than Japanese. Also, since it is a famous store, I have heard that there are many celebrity regulars. Our school has a dormitory on the upper floor of the school. Students who got stuck in "bottles" often said that they go to eat! You're ✨ lucky to have a delicious ramen shop in front of your school.

In the station building "Cereo Hachioji" of Hachioji station, there is a Vietnamese restaurant called "Jasmine Palace". Vietnamese food is "Pho", but this restaurant is not only where you can eat pho but also various rare Vietnamese dishes. In addition, most of the dishes are set menu, and it is attractive that you can enjoy various dishes little by little. I ordered banh mi (Vietnamese sandwich) and Vietnamese fried rice on this day. The tea is lotus tea, and the dessert chai (Vietnamese zenzai?) ✨ Vietnamese students who graduated from our school also ? used it from time to time Hachioji Recently, the number of restaurants in Southeast Asia has increased.

In addition, projection mapping is used once an hour to introduce the goodness of Mt. Takao. There is also a café where you can ☕ drink delicious coffee while looking at natureOur students and I have seen specimens, but the Sri Lankan students were very impressed ? that they had never had a chance to see it before Mt. Takao There are many rare creatures living there. I think it is a very good experience for students to study in such a place rich in nature.

A 10-minute walk from the school, I bought tokoroten at a konjac shop founded in 1881 (Meiji 14). Tokoroten is very cheap at 376 yen for 3 pieces, and you can buy it freshly. You can use a special stick to cut it into thin pieces on the spot, or you can buy a stick and go home. Since it was a big deal, I bought a stick this time and went home! It was my first experience making tokoroten and it was very interesting! And the taste was the best I've ever eaten. There was no smell, and it was delicious with a refreshing flavor. International students are often surprised that many Japanese foods use seaweed. Because it is healthy, some people get addicted. Please eat cold tokoroten and get through the hot summer.
