Japanese food culture, BENTO 弁当

This video Introduce us to Japanese food culture, especially Bento. Bento means lunch box .And many Japanese mothers makes Bento for their children and husband early in the morning. Recently Chara BEN is very popular in Japan. Chara BEN is the BENTO which is decorated with characters.( for example, Hello kitty,Mickey mouse, Minnie mouse and so on) Before I watched this video, I never thought Bento is unique habit, but in other countries, it is rare to bring homemade lunch box. When I heard the story, I was so surprised. Then I want to know about lunch box in other countrieies.

Second Harvest Japan

Before  I took this class, I didn't know about Second Harvest Japan. But this time, thanks to the site about Second Harvest Japan, I could know about it.   

The news that every day in Japan, 6000 tons o food are thrown away made me shocked so much. However I have felt that when I work at cafe restaurant which is my part-time job. So I want to know about Japanese food waste very much. I am really looking forward to listening his lecture.

Steve Gardener's Concert

I have never seen the blues concert, so I enjoyed his music very much. It seemed to  all foreigner teachers that his music reminds them of their hometown. So this concert was so precious opportunity for both foreign teachers and students. And after the concert, he taught us about detailed American food culture. He was so quite familiar with American food culture. I could know about the American food culture and I am really interested in American food culture more than ever.
