Life In Toronto ★!

I'll talk about keeping your healthy. I think you get big stress because of differences of culture and language. This stress makes your health bad. It is good way for getting out of the stress to make friends and talk them about any worries. I think you get some troubles about eating habit. The local people eat many oily foods and they give you too mush food, so you may get weight. Prepare the medicines for the case of an emergency!! You need to take control and try to keep your healthy by yourself!!

Second, I’ll talk about daily life. As you know, there are many differences of culture between Japanese and Canada. You should respect their culture and try to adapt to that. In older to spend good days, you should learn common English. They have their accent of it. You should try to hear carefully what they say. When you go out, you should manage the valuable, especially money. There are many pickpockets!! I may you will have another problem. If you have the trouble, you can talk to your host family, friends, and consultant.

I think study abroad to Toronto will be good experience
for you. If you want to go abroad, prepare well for study abroad and enjoy trip to Canada:^)

Meals of Ryokan

Almost all of the Ryokan use the "half board", they give the visitor the meals at the night of the first day and morning of second day.
The meal is made by cook. Landlady and waitress carry it to our room and they cllear the dishes after we eat. If you go to Ryokan with many people, you can use a "feast room"and the dinner time runs high!!!

Previously, we couldn't order what we want to eat, but now, there are sevral plans of meal, so we can choose the best meal among the plans. The main dishes are Japanese foods. There are used special productions and the seasonal foods, see fish and edible wild plants. THey have not much amounts but good qualities.
You enjoy eating as much as you like! :-)

The speech of Jidai Festival :-)

The festival is held every October 22 at Kyoto. Every year there are about 2000 people who take part in the parade. Length of parade is 2 kilometers and it takes 3 hours. The participants wear historical costumes and they represent seven periods.


This picture represents Edo period and this is the samurai. The same day, Kurama fire festival is held at night. This is traditional festival. It used the fire, so it’s dangerous but, people feel the festival ran high. If you go to see Jidai festival, you can enjoy Kurama festival too!!


Jidai festival is one of the Kyoto’s big festivals. It has been going 114 years. I think Jidai festival is good to learn about tradition of Kyoto. Please go to Kyoto and enjoy Jidai festival!!
