it goes back thousands of years! See her article

Joshua Says: This Summer we are going to open the roof-top garden to
all our students – check out the photos on P3. In these busy and difficult
times, I hope some of you will take this chance to enjoy a quiet moment
to relax in the open, fresh air. You can have a coffee, eat lunch or justtake in the atmosphere. It will be open every day except Sunday (fornow). I’m looking forward to seeing you there!
Junko Says: The Saturday night market in Okaido is going to start on
the 28 th of this month. This year, Kuro-chan Tofu Company is going toserve Tofu Desserts from our table. Kuro-chan Tofu makes many newand imaginative styles of tofu as well as the more traditional styles. So,I hope you will all come along to try some of these delicious and healthy
tofu desserts. You’ll be surprised at just how good they taste!
Michael Says: Do you still have flying dreams? How about flying
daydreams? I recently read about a pilot who has designed rocketpowered wings. He jumps from an airplane, opens the wings, andtakes off through the air! He has flown at over 185 mph! That’s
almost 300 kph! He says he has to move his body only a tiny bit tosteer when he’s flying. Just imagine!
Owen Says: To swoon, is to be extremely excited and impressed bysomeone you like, love, or admire. An older meaning is to become
unconscious and fall to the ground. I find this word appealing because itis old fashioned; it has a nostalgic quality...An early film heroine
swooning as the hero duels his deadly foe; it's very hard to act likeyou're swooning. Don't swoon in this summer's heat!
Greg Says: Once again Mother Nature has shown its amazing power; thistime by rattling the ground beneath China. It was especially heart
wrenching to see so many children’s lives taken in the rubble of the many
fallen schools. And the disaster looks to have only just begun by the lookof the many dams filling to near capacity. My mother always said to countyour blessings and being far away from any disaster is a blessing.

Emilie Dit: Nombre de mots japonais sont d'origine étrangère. Pour cequi est du vocabulaire culinaire, la France est au premier rang. Il est
amusant ainsi de partir à la découverte de la langue française en seréférant à la nourriture et en comparant goûts, recettes et coutumes
entre nos deux pays. Manger est un art de vivre et aussi une passerelle
entre les cultures, la meilleure introduction à l'autre.

The ROOF-TOP GARDEN “OPEN HOUSE” is now OPEN!
Let’s enjoy the Summer together - outdoors style!
