Blog #4: MARTa Museum

Hi! This is Chieko Yokobori. I will introduce MARTa Museum in Herford, Germany. It is one of the works of Frank Gehry and it was built as an art and design museum in 2005. In the early twentieth century, it is said that the furniture industry flourished in Herford. The main aim of this museum is to boost economy, so a lot of people come from a distance.

This is the photo of the museum! The color of the entire museum is light brown and I am interested in the shape of it.

Also, there are windows in all ceilings and the inside of the museum is bright because the sun shines through them.

Though I didn't know much about Frank Gehry, his works are very interesting! I want to visit and see MARTa Museum directly.

This is the link of this museum. Please see this!

Blog#4:ROYAL ONTARIO MUSEUM

Hi, this is Kana Hirata. I saw a lot of building materials today, and I decided to introduce about ROYAL ONTARIO MUSEUM. Since I'll go study abroad to Toronto in this summer, I chose the museum located in the city of Toronto. ROYAL ONTARIO MUSEUM was built in 1912 and opened in 1914. It is usually called ROM. Works of art that exhibits a wide range of fields from archeology to art. In 2003 the new building was added to this architecture, in 2007 it was complete. This new sturacture is called Michael Lee-Chin Crystal, which was designed by Daniel Libeskind. Daniel is Poland system American. I think this architect is fusion of old and new. It is beautiful. This is the photo of the museum.

The old building connect to the new building by corridor.
Approximately 3,500 tons of steel and 38 tons of bolts were used to create the skeleton, and roughly 9,000 cubic metres of concrete were poured.

Blog #3: My part-time job

   Hi, this is Mie Sato. I introduce about my part-time job to you. I have a part-time job at Baskin-Robbins, and I work 3 or 4 times a week. I enjoy my job because I can serve many people like children, elders and visitors from abroad and so on. But the other hand, I have serious problems like wrist pain, making hands rough, and job stress. My main job is selling ice creams. I take an order, scoop ice creams in a ball and hand to customers. Sometimes ice creams are very hard, and when the store is packed with customers, I have to scoop many times. And, I get tired because I always have to smile during working, but as a result, I could overcome my shyness a little. The motto of Baskin-Robbins is "We make people happy through ice creams", and I can be happy when the customers smile through ice creams!

This is Baskin-Robbins ice creams.

Popping Shower and Very Berry Strawberry,

                                                          these are very popular flavors!

Blog #2: My favorite restaurant

Hi, I'm Chieko Yokobori. I will introduce you to my favorite restaurant. It is an Italian restaurant called Fiorentina. It's in Hotel Mets Mejiro which is in next to Mejiro station. I had a dinner together with the members and teachers of my circle in March. We are supposed to do to see off the fourth students and congratulate their graduation in every year. I ate a three-course including coffee or tea. I paid about 3,200 yen for it. Fiorentina is a little expensive restaurant, so the food was very delicious, but it's quantity was large. Fiorentina's pasta made me feel full very much and I couldn't eat a roll.


This is the dessert that I ate then! This is a caramel cake.
