We held a few parties

Since we have international students from all over the world, we decided to take advantage of the opportunity and host a party where we could enjoy dishes from various countries.

Punyaporn from Thailand is staying with us for a short-term program from April through June.

We held a welcome party for her in April.

Chicken rice made with a kit I bought in Kagoshima.

Thai dishes prepared by Punyaporn. The tom yum goong was absolutely delicious.

Chinese dishes by Jie: jellyfish, hot pot, and zongzi. The zongzi came in both savory and sweet varieties.

Chinese dishes by Uruhara: stir-fried garlic sprouts and meat; stir-fried oil spinach; and green bean broth (a sweet drink)

Chinese dishes by Cao: Hot pot and houttuynia salad. The tripe was prepared very well, and it was delicious.
