Kuwait

 

 

 

First of all, I would like to tell you a little bit about Kuwait.

 

Kuwait is a country in Western Asia.It is a very rich country.

Because of its vast oil wealth, Kuwait can and does subsidize every part of it's people's lives, emplyment, health, education, housing-and even some grocery stores.

The government provides a job to vertually every Kuwaiti citizen, women included.

Also, most of the food in this oil-rich but soil and water poor country is imported.

 

The category of the budget mostly used are meat fish and eggs.And surprisingly the cost used for dairy is quite big. Maybe it is because you can not rasie cows in the desert and the cost is expensive.

 

There are religious differences compared to Japan. The family in Kuwait aften has servants or house maids to take care of the children and to do the house work such as cooking and washing. In Japan, normally we do not have this kind of family structure.

Hi!!
Today, I would like to write about the food related book that I finished recently!!
The book is called the Bread for the world as I shown you before.
I is a book about food shortages and poverty.
From reading this book, I learned many things about the developping countries and the real situation.
I love this book because there were graphs and pictures to show the data and it shows many examples so it was very easy to understand.
The favorite part of this book is in the second chapter where tells us if the world were represented by 100 people.
This is how it would look like.

When I looked at this, I was vey shocked. If we look at it in this way, we can understand the starvation in the world is desperate.
Living in Japan, it is not easy to see what is going on in the develloping countries but we must learn.
Also most importantly, We must act. We must have the courage to move and change the situation.
In the last chapter of the book it showed what we can do ourselves. It seems that what we can do is little but if each one of us had the courage to change the situation, I belive it will change.

By reading this book, I decided to go to Cambodia to do a international volunteer. I wanted to see with my own eyes what is happening in Cambodia. Are there enough food ? Are they able to have a sanitized life? I think this experience will change myself and it would give me courage to move forward.
I really recommend to read this book and change yourself!!
thankyou for reading:)

Happy New Year!!!!

How ahave you all been? How did you spend your winter vacation? Today I would like to show you the restaurant I went yesterday!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

I went to a restaurant called La Boheme. It is a Italian cafe. It's in Omotesando and it is close from Aoyamagakuin University. It took only 10 minutes by walking.

The yellow building is fancy and it makes me feel that I'm Italy.

The menu's were shown outside which was easy to see what kind of cousine are there.

 

 

This is the picture of the inside!

You can actually see the chefs cooking so it was not boring to wait.
The clerk looked fresh and clean which was a very good point!!
Also, she was very polite and smiling which made a good impression of the restaurant.
The menu was mostly pasta and there were some pizzas too.
The price was reasnable. Most of them were lower than 1000 yen.
At lunch time there was the lunch course where you can order salad and soup and desert as a set which was also reasnable!
Also, you had a choice of increasing the volume of pasta for 100 yen which was also good!




This is what I ordered!!! It is a Japanese taste pasta with spinach and chiken and green onions.
It tasted and smelled of garlic which was also nice.
It was not too oily so it was easy to eat. I loved it so much.
It came in 10~15 minutes so I didn't have to wait much.
The fork and spoon was wrapped in paper so it was clean without the dust.
Overall, it was a very good restaurant so I would want to recommend it to you!!!
