Kia ora and hello everyone!

Hamilton, New Zealand is famous for having a beautiful botanical and sculpture garden in the middle of the city, with themed gardens from Italy, India, China, Japan, and so many more!

It attracts thousands of tourists each year and it was my favourite place to hang out when I lived there. I went back during December and appreciated spending time in nature and taking lots of photos!

I hope you can go one day!

来週の月曜日は振替休日でお休みなので、世間は３連休ですね。みなさんは何か楽しい予定がありますか？(^^)/

中学３年生の生徒さんたちは公立高校入試日を控えていますので、塾の自習室に行くなど、有意義に時間を使ってほしいなと願っています。本番まであと少し。体調に気をつけて過ごしてくださいね。

We all know about classic ice cream flavors like chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. But did you know there are some really weird flavors out there? It’s true! In Japan, you can find flavors like sweet potato, wasabi, and even squid ink! Yes, you read that right—ice cream that tastes like squid ink.

In Italy, there’s a flavor called gorgonzola, which is made from blue cheese. Imagine having that for dessert! In the United States, there’s a flavor called bacon ice cream, which mixes sweet and salty in a very unusual way.

So, would you try one of these strange ice creams? Or would you stick with your chocolate chip cone? Maybe next time you’re at the ice cream shop, you’ll find something totally wild and give it a taste. You never know what’s out there in the world of frozen treats!

あまり海外でデザートを頼むことはないのですが、単価が安くもう一品頼んでしまえと注文したものです。写真の通りの味です。フルーツポンチのココナツミルクあじのような。

Unicorns are magical creatures that look like horses with a single horn on their heads. Many people believe they are real—at least, in stories! The unicorn has appeared in myths, fairy tales, and legends from all over the world for hundreds of years.

Unicorns are often shown as white and sparkly, with long flowing manes and tails. They are usually gentle and kind creatures, sometimes even with magical powers. In some stories, the unicorn’s horn could heal sickness or purify water.

But… did unicorns ever really exist? There is no scientific proof of real unicorns, but some scientists think ancient people might have seen animals like the Indian rhinoceros and thought they were unicorns. Others believe that unicorns are just part of a magical imagination!

Whether or not unicorns exist, they sure make our world a little more magical. Maybe one day you’ll discover a unicorn in a far-off land!
