Editor's Note




     Affogato, often is considered as the best among some coffee goers. At first, its mixed taste of cold ice cream and hot espresso makes your tongue confused. When it gets used to it, however combining coffee’s bitterness and softened vanilla ice cream will hold a feast of tastes. It just allows us to taste a deep flavor all the more.


One taste does not always mean pure. Sometimes, blending gives us a greater pleasure than one. The traditional Korean food, Bibimbap also can be classified as this kind. ‘Bibim’ means mingling everything, the idea of mixture of everything.. Well it does not seem to be that cool, does it? Let me briefly introduce the recipe. It includes vegetables such as mushrooms and spinach with beef and egg fries. You can taste freshness of vegetable with juicy and tender meat at the same time. Put rice, it will be ideal if it just is cooked. Oh, don’t forget the red pepper paste, ‘Gochuzang’ which will add some spiciness to Bibimbap. Hmm… How does it sound?
  
      We, the students in this English class have all multiple cultural backgrounds. After reading everyone’s postings, I realized this once again. Each one of us has different interests and thinking. In this blog, we look at the world with a variety of topics starting from the advertisements which we can easily access in daily life, to a big issue such as poverty and euthanasia.  

For this week, Liliia described the beauty of the Japanese food arrangement in ’Japanese Food – What Is It?’. Not only this, but also she showed us her great insight of the development of Japanese food. Very simple introduction for various traditional costumes, written by Miyu, this article would be very interesting as well, especially for people who just had a vague image of traditional Chinese clothes. She introduced Cheongsam very passionately by giving historical background and conversations with Candy.  

Three postings about sports have been updated. Especially Kimura’s ‘U.S.A where the MLB and base ball were created’ was quite interesting. Frankly, I didn’t have much knowledge about baseball before I read it. So it was the opportunity to get some ideas of the new field. He also provided the good explanations that change had been made in the relationship of white and black people through baseball in his writing. It’s worthwhile to have a look.


The blog committee was appreciated about the product. Not just as a member of them, but also as a reader, I was entertained by everyone’s postings. Actually we were worried at first, since we did not have unified topic. Contrary to out expectation, it made this blog more interesting and living. We have different toppings. Someone put vegetable while others make egg fries. There is a no comparison with others but joyfulness. I think we made a solid foundation to the next step.



   Just flip over through. As we are covering the broad range of topics, you’ll find the writing which takes you to the new world that you never imagined before. Hope you enjoy it!
