I didn't know about it, but it was so nice and I love it.

sangria is a drink made in spain.
red wine and sweet soda water or orange juice are mixed.
pieces of fruit like orange, lemon and cinnamon are put on.
it is dairy drink in spain.
people put fruit on wine and keep it in refrigerator.
they like to drink it in summer.

It is easy to make.
My senior said that she made it when she had a home party
with her friends.
I think women may love this drink.
It looks nice and good on the tongue. 
If you have a party, please try to make it.
I recommend to use mango juice.

Korea

Why Korean women are slender and their skin is beautiful?
When I went to Korea, I looked many Korean beauty women.
I think there are many slender women than Japan!

It seems that one of a reason is Kimchi.
As I said previously, Kimchi is good food for health.
Kimchi has perspiration (It means you will sweat when you eat it) because it includes much red pepper.
It makes your body hot and you will sweat.
Your body’s heat value will grow up.
Then, calorie consumption will increase.
And Kimchi is a ferment food.
It makes your intestine clean and makes your skin beautiful.

And Korea is a second country that eats many vegetables.
I didn’t know that surprising fact that Korean consumes over 200kg of vegetables per year for one person!
Japanese consumption is only half of it.
A lot of vegetable intake makes their skin smooth, white and shiny healthy looking.

I think food is really influence to our body.
Recently I’m so busy and every time I eat bread, because I don’t want to cook.
I have to eat much more vegetables!

Korea is popular country for japanese girl.
Japasese girl enjoy shopping and beauty treatment there.
Of course, I enjoyed and I love Korea:)

And another enjoyment is food!
Korean food is so delicious and suit Japanese palete.
I went to many restrant with my friends and ate many foods.
Bibimbab, kimpap(korean rice rolled in laver), Tteokbokki, Yakiniku and so on.
In Korea, every restran served side dishes whithout order.
Kimchi is most popular side dish.

I like Kimchi and eat it in Japan also.
It is korean homely food.
They make kimchi in their home and eat it every day.
First, pickle chinese cabbage with solt for a day.
After that, wash it and pickle with red pepper, garlic, leek, fish guts pickled in salt, and so on.
Sometimes fruits are used to make it smooth.
After 4 or 5 day, it become delicious kimchi.

Kimchi include much vitamine and lactic acid bachilli.
It is healthy food.

In korea kimchi is more delicious than Japan!
If you went to korea, please try it:)
But you have to take care if you want to take it to Japan.
It has strong amell and your suitcase may smell for a week;(

cooking school

Last week, I went to cooking school to experience the class for a day. I made a hamburg steak and a consomme soup at there. I went there with may friends and a teacher teached us. Teacher was kind and friendly for us.We not only make dish, but also wash kitchin wear and dishes. it is included in cooking i think.

There were many people make dish while chatting. It looks so fun. I thought this place is good to make friends also. All most of all learner ware women, but wide aged people were there. Teacher said that you can enjoy cooking, chatting and eating. It was so attractive place for me but I didn't apply any program., because it is expensive. I can take student discount, but still expensive.... Cheapest program cost 5000yen for a month. In totally, I have to pay about 60,000yen. It has 19 class. It means 1 class cost about 3000yen. Maybe it is appropriate for a cooking school, but expensive for poor collage student.

I want to go to cooking school after I become a working adult. It is expensive but I think to learn from other is good way to skill up. cooking technique is necessary to live healthy. So, I want to be a good cook!
