Japan : Chofu's observatory

En français

We left the old mill to go to the National observatory. We first visited the library which is opened to visitors and our guide showed us the room where he used to live. We then went to see the telescopes and the street between them which shows the size of the planets of the solar system and how far they are from each other. It was really interesting.

Japan : old mill in Chofu

En français
After visiting the airport and having lunch there, we walked in direction of the observatory and stopped to visit an old mill. There was also a lot of things from Ancient time stored in one of the room and the mill was still running. It was funny because we had to take out our shoes and put slippers to enter which happens very often in Japan the funny thing was that a part of the visit was outside.

Japan : 調布飛行場

En français
On a Sunday afternoon I went to visit 調布飛行場 with some friends. We met a ancient pilot and were able to go in the restaurant hangar where they keep the planes. It's kind of cool because you can see the planes while eating.

International Mother Language Day

En français

International Mother Language Day is celebrated on 21 February.  On 21 March 1948, the governor of Pakistan declared that Urdu would be the only official language in both West and East Pakistan (now Bangladesh). On 21 February 1952, students decided to strike and protest in the street. The government installed a curfew to prevent the protestation and people breaking it would be taken down. The students still decided to go on the street and many died. This day is a symbol of language and cultural diversity.

We celebrated it on 4th of March at the University of Electro-communication in Tokyo.

Let's eat !! Insects...

En français
In February I went to a curious restaurant with a friend. On the menu, silk worms, grasshoppers, Madagascar cockroaches, Argentinian cockroaches, cicadas...
First we had to cook then, fried, boiled, buttered, in chocolate or hidden in cakes...
It was a fun and frightening experience all at the same time. It's strange how was could basically eat anything if our mind wasn't preformed by cultural culinary habits.
