Global Seminar (Tonosho)
January 7, 2009
I visited the Tonosho Kitaura Jidokan. I started with simple English conversation practice and wrote each child`s name in English. I also talked about what kind of people live in Canada, food Canadians eat, and the Olympic Games. I kept it simple so that everyone got familiarized with Canada.
Then it was followed by long-waited cooking class. We made chocolate fondue. Slicing fruits, melting chocolate and cutting bread; Boom! You are done. I also explained a rule about eating fondue. If a man drops bread in fondue, he has to buy a wine. If a woman drops a bread, she has to kiss the person sitting on his left. And that made everyone eat very carefully so that they don't drop a piece. There was a child who claimed he does not like chocolate, but eventually he was eating chocolate too. It was nice to see everyone making and enjoying the chocolate fondue together.
