A place I love

 A place I love is a bakery because I love bread. I want to eat a fresh bread, so basically I go to a bakery until noon. I make it a rule to eat a fresh bread as soon as I buy it. The moment makes me over the moon! At a bakery I not only buy breads, but also gaze at the building and the inside decoration. They are fashionable. I am interested in how the owners attract customers and make breads tempting.

The bakery of below pictures is one which I went to a few days ago. It is in Shiga and produced by a famous sweet company of Shiga. It was selected one of the "Bread WEST 100 Famous Stores in 2020" by the biggest gourmet cite. The popular bread is "Kugel balm". This was wrapped in Baumkuchen and caramel and baked fragrantly. It is the second from the left in the bottom row of the second photo.

    There is indeed something delicious about eating fresh bread. Bread has a softness and a lightness when it is fresh. I tend to perfer my bread wholemeal. I also like ryebread and bread rolls with lots of seeds, such as pumpkin seeds etc. This kind of bread contains more fibre than white bread, so it is better for you. In the picture you share, I would choose a bun from the row sixth from the right on the bottom shelf of the cabinet.

    I have been to some bakeries near my house to buy bread, but I do not take pictures or look at the building or the decoration seriously, so I am surprised to know that you also think about the bakery from the owner's perspective. You told me that all of your family members love bread, but is there another reason why you became a bread lover?

    I also love bread, so I'm grad to get such interesting information. And my mom is crazy about bakery and I shared this blog with her. Although Shiga is a little far from my house, I am going to hang out there with her to taste delicious bread. I can't wait!!

      I'm glad that you're interested in the shop. I want you to try those breads, but it seems hard for you to get there. So, I suggest you should use mail order. The shop sells also by order!

The future: My predictions

Image
 　　　　　　　　　The future of Japan   My first prediction about Japan is that a lot of people will be living in rural areas compared to now, because of the COVID-19’s spread, people are feeling unsafe, or unconfutable living in bustling cities especially for their children. I saw an article saying that some families are moving to rural areas to live a life they could not do in cities. They grow enough vegetables, or spend more time with their children. I think this change is a positive thing because major cities are overpopulated, so if more people move to rural areas, areas can be developed, and get more attention from tourists.    My second prediction is that about 50% of the population will be people from other countries. Before the pandemic happened, it was normal for me to see different types of people shopping or living next door. I think it is a good change because we might be able to absorb many interesting cultural things from them, and they can learn about Japanese culture by l

The best way to reduce crime

 I think the best way to reduce crime in the community is maintaining the public order. I am going to show three points to approach the problem. First, the police should strengthen the control more strictly. If the police can see the deep town or everywhere in cities, people don't tend to commit some crimes. And I think it's good idea to give them more heavy punishment. We can also rely on the development of technology. For example, we can set security camera or something in the place where crimes are often done. Second, I think we can reduce crime by education. Teachers can tell children how crime makes their life bad and how crime is not forgiven. Not only teachers but also parents can teach them to their children at home.  The last one is that the city office supports unstable people. For example, they can set counseling offices where people who have some problems in their family can visit. Sometimes, the city officers need to visit their houses as observers. And the governm

A Turning Point

Image
   My turning point was when I chose my high school at 15 age. When all students decided which school to take, I had not decided that yet. This was because I had two options then.   The first one was to go to the high school all my friends were supposed to go, which was not a preparatory school. The second one was to go to a preparatory school in the next city. My teacher and parents told me to choose the second option. However, I didn’t want to do that because I didn’t want to say goodbye to my friends. lol   I was understanding it was my selfishness, so I decided to take the second option. It was hard choice for me because it was needed my tough study to pass the entrance exam. And I don’t regret this decision. Luckily, I could pass the exam and make new friends there. Moreover, I was able to study very hard , influenced by friends around me. That’s why I can take this online classes now! If I had chosen the first option, I would not have been interested in English and study abroad.
