Blog#12 Japanese museums

Kazusa

     Are you interested  in visiting museums? I like museums and I'm learning about it to get a qualification of curator. I have to visit museums as often as I can, but I have a problem. Japanese museums cost too much. The entrance fee of one adult is about 1,000 yen!! Though I find many attractive advertisment of museums, I can't go because of the price : (

     Do you know there are so many museums that do not charge for admission in other countries? I was surprised when I visit the British Museum last year. It was too large to see whole areas. I could see the Book of the Dead, sphinx and moai. There are also many historical scalpturs, but visiters don't have to pay any money!

     I know that they are confronting many hardships of management, but I hope Japanese museums lower the fare. I want more and more people to visit museums : ) Bye!

Blog#9 My tunbler collection

Chizuki Anzai

Hi everyone!

I'm sorry for late posting.

Do you use tumblers when you go to cafe such as starbucks?

One of by hobby is to collect tumblers.

Here is the picture of my collections.  (Sorry, I couldn't turn this sideways:( )

They are cute isn't it?  I have more than 20 tumblers. 

When you buy one, a free drink ticket comes with it.  You can have one drink free with the tumbler once in any size and any drink. 

 In addition to the ticket, there is another advantage with the tumbler.  you can buy drink by 20 yen off if you bring your own tumbler and have clerk make drink in the tumbler any time! 

so tumbler is economical, practical and also so cute.  There are various designes of tumbler so I am sure that you like some.  It is enjoyable for to see and bring them.  Why don't you have one? 

Blog#9: My Favorite Shop

Erika Okada

Have you ever heard "LUSH"?  It is a world wide company that sells handmade cosmetics.  It was founded in 1995 in the county of Dorset, UK.  LUSH came to Japan in 1999, and there are more than 140 shops all over Japan so far.  They sell bath bombs, soap, body butters, and the like.  They select raw materials which don't need tests on animals.

I often visit its shops on my way home after school, even though I don't need buy any items.  Because of its colorful and fragrant items, I am always attracted.

This is my recommendable item. 

It is a face scrub named "The Birth of Venus".  Their unique way to name items is one of noticeable points of LUSH.  It contains seasalt crushed into small grains.  Grains remove dirt from pores and supply minerals to our skin.  Its fragrance of lime and grapefruit makes me feel relax.

All of their items are labeled the portrait and the name of a person who made the item like this.

This labels make customers feel an attachment to each item.

LUSH always makes an effort to give pleasure and amusement to customers.  I recommend you to visit their shops when you have free-time.

Bye :-)
