Hiroto's Niigata life

 Hello! Last weekend, I went to Kanagawa Prefecture to watch soccer. It was my first time visiting there. I have been supporting my local team for 10 years and often go to the soccer stadium on weekends. Our opponent was the strongest team with championship experience. Approximately 1,000 people from Niigata came to support the team. The supporters were very enthusiastic and it was fun to sing the cheering songs.  As a result of the match, we lost 0-2. The opponent had possession of the ball for a longer period of time and was in control of the match. It was a match where you could clearly see the difference in strength. The team I'm rooting for hasn't won recently. If this continues, it will fall into the lower category. That is very sad, so I would like to continue to support them. Thank you.

I was surprised to hear that she planned and held the event alone in Tokamachi City, Niigata Prefecture. Until now, I had thought that I would not be able to host a tournament alone. However, I learned that it is possible to hold a large-scale event just like her by planning it in detail and taking action, so I would like to try it myself.  Second,I thought it was important to hold event that was closely connected to the local community for our group project. Mr. Burtz understood the characteristics of the region and utilized local resources. Furthermore, in order to restore unity and vitality to the local residents, a event was held in which the community came together as one. Also, she went out and found problems. That's why we need to understand the characteristics of the area we are trying to re...

Hello! I went to the Kanto region last week. First I went to Osaka.  When I first saw the Glico signboard, I was impressed by how big it was.  There were so many people in Dotonbori that I couldn't move forward.  There were a lot of foreigners there and they asked for directions, so I gave them directions  Also, I went to the takoyaki shop. The place was crowded, but the takoyaki was very delicious.  Second, I went to Kobe. Kobe is famous as a port town and has a Chinatown. I went to Kobe Tower and climbed it, but it was so high it was scary. It also had an interesting shape. Kobe was an elegant town with many high-end shops. At the end, I ate Kobe beef. The meat was expensive, juicy, delicious and the best I've ever eaten. This time has become a good memory.  Thank you.                                                      ...

 Hello, I really wanted to eat ramen yesterday so I went to a ramen shop for dinner. It's a local ramen shop called Ramen Jiro. I visited there before but it was crowded so I gave up. There was empty yesterday, so I was able to get in early. The store had a lively atmosphere with mostly counter seats.The restaurant's recommendation is the soy sauce ramen. The noodles are thick and filling. Further, when I drank the soup, it was rich soy souce. And, the chashu is thick and the flavor spreads with every bite. It also has a lot of vegetables and noodles, making it very filling.    This restaurant is full of volume and has an impact. So, I want people who are big eaters to go. Also, I recommend going on an empty stomach before eating. Next time I think I'll try the miso ramen. Everyone please go and try it. Thank you.

It's very beautiful and calming.  Second, My hobby is watching sports and watches soccer in particular well. I often go to the stadium on the weekend. I went to Fukuoka in summer vacation and watched it.

I solved problems through exchange of opinions and talks by group work. Also, new ideas were produced by discussing opinions in a group. I was abl...
