Listen to this music when you are in high spirits!! Q1.What is your favorite clothing shop? ??I often go shopping to ‘RAGEBLUE’ in harajuku. Q2. Which point do you recommend about the shop? ??The clothes are elegant but it’s not so formal. They are, rather, casual and stylish! Q3. You look really casual every day, don’t you!? ??You flatter me :-)

Setting WORK&MILITARY as the main concept, RAGEBLUE suggests “cross edge style”that mixes all kind of styles beyond the frameworks. Besides, RAGEBLUE is particular about materials and details, and also adopts “unaffected comfortableness”designed by the sense of the times.

Q.Where is your favorite place in ? ??Krispy Kreme Dounuts Shinjuku

This store was born in America. Now, it is very popular not only in America, but also in Japan. There is a long line in front of the store almost every day. Its doughnuts are very delicious, so it is worth waiting for buying doughnuts.

５ Q. Where is your favorite place in Tokyo? ??Well, I like Shimokitazawa.

There are many used clothes shops, general stores there. The shops are in back street, and every time I find another way or another shop. The crepe store is very good because cream in the crape is hearty. Also there are many cafes so when you are tired walking, stay there and make you relaxed.

As you know, Tama Zoological Park is near our university. But haven’t most of you been there after you become student of Chuo University? One of the reasons is that it is too near from our campus. However, it is very good to spend time, see funny animal, and can be a good date spot!! So we introduce about it. To introduce here, we visit at July 1st. It was a good temperature to spend and we could really enjoy!! The circumstance of Tama Zoological Park is close to natural environment. The animals in it lives very comfortably, so we can see real their habit. Some of them are endangered species, you can have a special experience in here. -Official Data- Open: 9:00, Close: 17:00(Last enter: 16:00) Entrance fee: Adult: 600 yen Junior high school student: 200 yen, Closed : Every Wednesdays (If it is holyday, the day after will be closed.) Year’s end and start The day open to public for free : 5/4･5, 10/1,

Quiz - Who se foot mark?

Can you guess these animals? The answer is on the last page of this topic!! The map of Tama Zoological Park

Jaguar stood on a stump Two Ostrich are walking ９ Asia Zone - green area in map This is the biggest area in this park, so you can see animals from Asia, for example, Orangutan, Red Panda and some animal who have origin from Japan.

Australia Zone - Yellow area in map As you know, the main animal of Australia is Koala. They are very cute and you are given healing by them. Of course, you can see Kangaroo, Wombat, Wallaby.

Africa Zone - red area in map In this area, there are many flesh-eating animals such as Lion, Tiger. You get excited when you see them. There are also calm herbivorous animals; Giraffe, Zebra, Ostrich. You can ride ‘Lion Bus’ which let you see Lion very close. It is really dynamic!!

Answer of Quiz Left : Giraffe, Center : Orangutan, Right Ostrich I work at Izakaya, A Japanese dining bar, Irohanihoheto in Hachiouji. Generally speaking, Izakaya has high salary compared with other food restaurant, so I ’ll introduce my works in it. My salary is 950 yen per an hour and I usually work there 3 times in a week and each time I work 5~7 hours, so I can earn 70~80 thousand yen in a month. What is the kind of works? Usually, there are two types of works. I’ll show you. 1. Hall The main work is to serve dishes and drinks. Sometimes you make some simple dishes or cocktails. There are some conversations with customer because they feel good by drinking. But sometimes, we are claimed to our mistake…

2. Kitchen The main work is to make dishes. You are needed to make them quick and delicious. If you like cooking, it is good for you. Your cooking skill must develop.

To do both of them, it is no matter whether you have experience of part-time job or not. You don’t have to be afraid of doing that if you had no experience because senior fellow worker will teach you calmly, and you can learn everything from them. My impression of working at Izakaya is that I’m very enjoying working there because there are good fellow worker and we can see smile of customer. It is one of joy to work. You can challenge it and I very recommend you to work at Izakaya. １１ OUR HOME TOWN

We love our home town. There are many place to see, many kinds of foods…. So we want you to visit our country!! Come in, and you will be excited!!

１２ TOKYO Where I’ve grown up.

Isn’t there too much information about Tokyo? In t his article, I give different stories about Tokyo related to my experience. POLITICS

Tokyo is the center of politics in Japan. You will be able to see the Diet, Embassy, Supreme court etc. ALSO, Tokyo Metropolitan Government is the one of the biggest building in Tokyo. If you come to Tokyo, you should see them once.

The Diet: We, students in Tokyo go to see it for school trip, when we are third or forth grade. When I go in, the inside was very magnificent. It was different from the view which we watch in TV. You should go there once and see figures of Japanese historic politicians.

University of the United Nations: In Chuo university, there are interns of this university. The students who worked for here had good estimation last year, so we can work this year at last. I want to visit here at no distant date.

TRADITION

You might think that there are not so many traditional places in Tokyo. Yes we have!!!! I pick up some of them this time. All of them are my favorite place. The atmosphere, the buildings are very nice.

13 The imperial Palace: This is Japanese old castle in Edo period. Now Imperial majesty is living. I often go and cycling here. Many foreigners run around in weekends. It is about 3 kilometers. But to tell the truth running around here do very bad their health, because they get a lot of exhaust gas from the road.

Yanaka Ginza: This is one of the traditional place. The atmosphere is unique, which the old parts of Japan have. Vital and active inhabitants will let visitors enjoy. There are cheep Japanese stile hotels, so some foreigners may stay here.

ENTERTAMENT

What do you want to do in this summer?? I tell you some places which I want you to go. Don’t go back to your hometown without seeing these stores!!!! ALSO, I recommend foods in Tokyo. Let’s enjoy your staying.

Village/Vanguard: This is “the exciting book store”. When you come into the shop, many funny books and sundries are choked up and they will be waiting for you!! I don’t be tired of staying there because there are too many things to look at. If you like funny, joking things such as “snot chocolate” or “medicine which you can love” please visit here!!!

G INTAKO: One of the famous TAKOYAKI shops in Tokyo. But in my opinion, GINTAKO is the best!!!! Have you ever eaten takoyaki in festivals?? Maybe you taste it definitely different from others.

14 While outside of it is crispy because they are fried, inside of it is juicy and soft. I recommend this shop with confidently.
