Japanese Like Japanese Food

By Maho Sasaki

I interviewed Rika in the atrium at lunch time. She’s a second grade student. She talked to me about her trip to London and Paris. She stayed a week. First, I interviewed her about the place she visited. "Where’s the most impressive place?” I asked. And she said, "I visited the Versailles palace. It was really nice. Also I like Oxford.” Oxford is a city of London. I asked her, "Did you see any old buildings?” and she said, "I saw the opera house.” Then I asked her, "Did you speak English or French in Paris?” She answered,” I spoke only English, but people in Paris understood my English.” I interviewed about food. She said that she ate 'fish and chips’ that is a famous food in London and it was so-so. She likes Japanese or Chinese food and doesn't like French food. So she said that she ate Japanese and Chinese food in Paris and London.” It was the best,” she said. I agree with her, I think Japanese food is the best. It was just a few days, but I think she missed Japanese food. Before she left, she felt a little bit nervous. But when she arrived in London, she was so excited. She said that she felt scared about people in London. But now, she feels London is nice. In Paris, she found that is a very clean town. It was cleaner than she thought. She really enjoyed her trip. She wants to go again.
