Hi there.
Today, I’d like to talk about Bath. Let me introduce it first. Bath is in the western part of England and is one of England’s famous cities. [Read about it in Wikipedia] As you guess from the name Bath, there are many hot springs. It’s said that it was made by the Roman Empire. Interestingly, there is a difference between Japan’s hot spring and England’s. Do you know? Yes! We have to wear swimsuits to enter here. Of course, we can take traditional hot spring baths. I went there with my friends and mascot yesterday. Before we came here, Malcolm had given us this mascot. In New Zealand, they have a custom that the young take trips with a kind of mascots and take some pictures with it, so we are also traveling with it all the way. We had been walking, walking, and walking. All of the extremely beautiful scenes made us happy.
Now every town looks bright since Christmas will come soon. Many restaurants have started to prepare Christmas dinner. I’ll go to France, Italy, Germany, Austria, and Belgium in the winter vacation.
Best wishes, Satoko Murata
Hello everyone:)
I’m so sorry for late to write this blog.
I’d like to tell you about Halloween in England!
I had never experienced a legitimate Halloween.
It was very exciting for me. Many students wore a delightful costume.
It was cute, cool, but also scary!!:(
First we took place in International Halloween party, and next we went to night club in university.
There were also many people wearing a delightful costume.
We wore Halloween costume too.
Shiori, Aki, Satoko,Yumika, and Yuta dressed up as a cat, and Emi, Madoka and I dressed up as a witch.
I could touch English culture through this event.
I want you all to touch English Halloween.
I’m sure it makes you all fun;)
Moreover that day was Aki’s 20th birthday!
I hope she has good first year of grown-up!
See you soon!

Hi everyone!
I haven’t seen you for about a month. How are you? I have a slight cold recently because it’s so cold—especially in the morning and evening here, but it’s warm at daytime, so I cannot adapt myself to the climate in England yet. However I’ll be all right soon.
The other day, I went to Southampton with my friends. “What is Southampton famous for?” you would say. Do you know Titanic? Southampton has the harbour from which Titanic left. I was glad to visit there. I could see the harbour and take a stroll around there. It didn’t take much time to see. There were some big churches and museums which my teacher recommended. Perhaps, you may think Southampton is an ancient region. Of course, you can look back in history there. But this Southampton is also popular with the young because there are shopping malls. They have many clothes shops, accessories shops and groceries shops. In front of shopping malls, there were holiday markets selling vegetables, fruits, and meat. It was sunny on that day, so we bought hotdogs, sat a bench and ate!! To tell the truth, I was worried about speaking to strangers there in English and going there with only friends… But I could do it and feel — I’m now in England!!
See you,
Satoko Murata

We were so exited At first, we watched many sea lions, but the place was stinky! Next WHALE WATCHING!!…BUT!! We didn’t see any whales! We were very sad and disappointed … Here is a picture of the Whale we didn’t see. We also saw orange pumpkins in a field on our way back. We had another really good day!
Today’s blog is by Haruka and Yui. We went to the swimming pool and gym near
VIU. Some people enjoyed swimming, water slide and sauna, while others exercised

candies were sold. They looked interesting. In the afternoon, we spent our free time
on shopping, camping and so on.

Today’s blog is by Haruka and Yui. We went to Safeco Field and took a group photo with Ichiro’s picture. Then we visited the original Starbucks which started in Seattle in 1912. We bought souvenirs there. August 28th is Saki’s birthday so we made a birthday card and sang happy birthday to her many times. In the afternoon we went back to the baseball field and watched Ichiro in real life, but the Mariners lost the game to the White Socks 9 to 3! Oh no!
Today’s blog is by Misaki and Saki. We arrived in Seattle!! We went shopping at the Seattle Outlet. We could go sight seeing around Seattle. We could look at Mt. Ranier. We arrived at QUALITY INN. Afterward, we went to a
Sports Bar for dinner. We enjoyed spending this time with our new friends.
