    The dough is deep-fried on the spot upon receiving an order, so you can enjoy the hot and crispy texture.
    Although fried pizza is not so familiar in Japan, it is often eaten as a snack for children in Italy.

    Tomato sauce and cheese flow out of the deep-fried pizza dough, giving it a luxurious taste.

    Allergies can be accommodated with advance notice by e-mail or phone at least one day in advance.

    Daily bento lunches and sandwiches are also available !

    Cherry Blossom or Cherry Flower?

    Although the season of full bloom has passed around here, you can still enjoy beautiful cherry blossoms in some places. The English word for cherry blossoms is "cherry blossom," but why not "cherry flower"? Both mean "flower," but "flower" refers to the whole flower and "blossom" refers to the flower on a fruit-bearing tree.

    UBC Canadian Universities

    It's almost graduation season for universities in Canada and the U.S. Here is my daughter's graduation from a Canadian university two years ago.
    First of all, let me introduce the university.

    The name is The British Columbia University. Commonly known as UBC, it is located in the west end of Vancouver. The bus loop on campus provides a constant flow of buses to and from various locations in and out of the city.

    It takes about 30 minutes by bus from downtown. After the first hole, you will cross the road whose name has been changed from 10th Avenue to University Boulevard, and after the 9th hole, you will go back to the other side to start the second half of the course. Birds and squirrels are after them and will take them away while you are hitting your tee shot. After golfing, I enjoyed Buffalo Wing (バッファローイング) with a beer at the pub in the clubhouse.

    Surrounded by forest and ocean on three sides, the campus is about 400 hectares (4 square kilometers, or 87 times the size of Tokyo Dome )) in size. The campus has student dormitories, residential facilities for faculty and staff, a supermarket, a fitness center, pubs, restaurants, accommodations, a concert hall where the graduation ceremony was held, the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts, and the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts, which was used as the portrait on the 5,000 yen bill in 1933. The Chan Centre for the Performing Arts, the Nitobe Memorial Gatden, the Museum of Anthropology, and other facilities open to the public are all located in the city.

    More on this later,

    UBC Canadian Universities #2

    This is a continuation of my introduction to the Canadian university from which my daughter graduated two years ago.

    UBC has over 44,000 undergraduate students and nearly 10,000 graduate students and has produced four prime ministers and seven Nobel laureates, including the current prime minister, Justin Trudeau. The campus is so large that many students have to ride bicycles to get from one building to the next, sometimes missing their next class when they are far apart. If you look at the foot of the campus, you will see salmon painted on the drains and maple leaves designed on the stairs. Above the picture of the salmon is Leads to Fish Habitat, and below it is Do not Pollute. Water entering this drain goes to the fish habitat. It means "Do not pollute. It is typical of Canada, which cares about the natural environment.

    Since the school was founded in 1908, there is an old stone school building, and the interior is arranged in a modern style. The campus is lush and green, and the new buildings and old buildings blend well together. There are several dormitories, ranging from single rooms to four-person rooms. From the second year, students have to find their own rooms on or off campus. My daughter and her friends moved to a quadruple room with a view of the campus in her second year; a single room has a bed, desk, and closet, but a quadruple room has four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a common living room, kitchen, and a large refrigerator. The single rooms have the same hangers that you hang on the doorknobs of hotels when you don't want to be disturbed by housekeeping, but here, as in a student room, it says "Studying in progress" under Please do not disturb.

    Every school sells something with that school's logo on it, but my daughter liked it and bought this T-shirt. It says my daughter and money goes to UBC.

    On April 27 ( Saturday ) we had class visits at Mafune Elementary School and Gyosei International School.

    This was the first class visit since the school year changed, so the children and their parents were a little nervous.

    After seeing how the child was doing, they immediately called us to inquire about our school.

    Now that he is settled in his new class, he is ready to start studying.

    Graduation ceremony #1

    This is the graduation ceremony of a university in Canada two years ago (2022).

    < Entrance and Graduation Ceremonies - Differences from Japan >
    In Japan and North America, the concept of graduation ceremony is different. In Japan, most students go through an examination war, so the entrance ceremony is very significant not only for the students themselves, but also for their parents. In North America, the graduation ceremony is celebrated by the family and relatives, as it is a significant event for the student who has studied hard and earned a degree. The way of conducting graduation ceremonies varies from university to university in North America, but here is an introduction of UBC's graduation ceremony.

    < 28 small venues >
    At UBC, graduation ceremonies are held in the Chan Center, a concert hall on campus that can seat less than 1,400 people, rather than a large venue. This year's ceremony will be held on the weekend of Wednesday, May 25, and will be held in the Chan Center. This year, there were 28 concerts, four a day for seven days, starting on Wednesday, May 25 and ending on Thursday, June 2, over the weekend. My daughter was the first afternoon of the second day. There is a limit of 2 guests per graduate and you must sign up for tickets in advance. Tickets will be emailed to you.

    My daughter, who gave up on returning to Japan due to the high hurdles to enter Japan by Corona, had a graduation ceremony on the first day for a friend of hers who was in the US during Christmas time and had dinner that night with her parents(父親がカナダ人、母親がアメリカ人), so I asked around. Both parents are from American universities, and both said that they had one graduation ceremony at a large venue, and that the size of UBC was more intimate. They also advised me to go early because the information sheet says not to come more than 30 minutes before the commencement ceremony starts, but when they arrived 40 minutes before the ceremony, there was already a line.

    < Graduation day before the ceremony >
    On the day of the ceremony, my daughter and I went to the venue early, but there was already a long line in front of the temporary tent to receive the gown and cap (the ones with the square top and ribbon on them that you often see in movies) that we had registered our sizes in advance. There was already a long line of people waiting in front of the temporary tent to pick up their gowns and hats. Both the cap and gown are black, but the gown has a blue border. This color seems to vary depending on the department or faculty.

    I had my wife go to the venue first because I had my daughter's luggage with me. When I arrived 30 minutes before the event started, there was already a long queue. There were students from all over the world and some of them were wearing traditional costumes.

    Upon entering the Chan Center, I checked my ticket and was given a graduation program. This 122-page program includes a history of previous commencement ceremonies, messages from the president and provost, a list of outstanding graduates, and the names of all graduates for each graduation ceremony along with their departments, majors, and degrees earned.
    The UBC brass band was performing in the hall, and the ushers took advantage of their free time to take pictures for the audience.

    Graduation ceremony #2

    This is the graduation ceremony of a university in Canada two years ago (2022 ), part 2.

    <卒業式本番>
    After the guests are seated, the graduates finally enter from the back of the auditorium and take their seats in front of the stage. Then the teachers, dressed in gowns designed in the colors of their respective specialties, and the high achievers enter and take their places on stage. After the school song, the president and guests give speeches, and awards are given to outstanding students. The president of the university gives this speech four times a day for a total of 28 times, which is a lot of work. My daughter was the first one on the afternoon of the second day, or the seventh one in total. At that time, I already felt that the president's voice was a little dry, but she had a cold the following week and was having a hard time. After the awards, the graduates were called up one by one to the stage for a commemorative photo with the president. When their names were called, they were greeted with cheers from family and friends. The names of the graduates come from all over the world, so it is very difficult for the person who reads them out. They may have practiced how to read the names beforehand, but there were many times when they had to restate names that were not from English-speaking countries, and my daughter was one of them.

    After the graduation ceremony, people gather in the plaza up the stairs from the Chan Center or in the adjacent rose garden to take pictures and videos. It was still early in the season for roses, but the garden was beautifully maintained. Unfortunately, it was cloudy, but I could see West Vancouver through the garden.

    <同窓会>
    After spending time with family and friends, the alumni headed to a reception at the alumni building. UBC has students and faculty from all over the world, and the Alumni Association seems to be active across the globe, with chapters in 37 cities in 30 countries. In English, alumni associations or alumnae are called alumni.

    Canada and the U.S. #1

    The following is a list of differences between Canada and its neighbor, the U.S., that I felt during my 20 years of residence in Canada.

    Canada and the U.S. share a border, and while they both speak English as well, there are many differences. Both countries are made up of many immigrants, but while the U.S. is colored American regardless of country of origin or culture, Canada is said to be a melting pot of races in the U.S. and a mosaic of races in Canada, as each culture is respected in Canada. Perhaps this is why, in my opinion, there seems to be less discrimination and prejudice against race, ethnicity, and more recently, LGBTQ, in Canada.

    <州>
    The United States has 50 states, called statestates. In Canada, instead of states, there are 10 Provinces and 3 Territories ( ) Territories. The Province of British Columbia, where Vancouver is located, is the third largest of the provinces, but it is about 2.5 times the size of Japan.

    <言語>
    In the U.S., English is the only official language, but in Canada, the official languages are English and French, so government documents are always written in both languages and the people who work there are generally bilingual. Many large companies also have both English and French company names, and both languages are spoken.

    In the Province of Quebec, French is the language of preference and all street signs are in French. When signs are written in English, the French language comes first. However, the use of words, pronunciation, and sometimes even grammar are different from the French used in France. If the French language used in France is the standard language, the language used in Canada seems to be a dialect from a region of France that has developed in its own unique way. I heard that tourists from France sometimes have trouble communicating with cab drivers. The language school I attended in Montreal taught the differences between the two.

    The photo shows a stop sign in Quebec. It is written in French above and English below.

    In most other provinces, English is the language of preference, but there are some spelling differences, such as "color" for color and "theatre" for theater, etc. In Canada, "eh" is used for "right," which is the last word Americans often use for "right. I was bothered at first by the fact that some people added "eh" every time they said something. When Americans make fun of Canadians, they sometimes add "eh".

    Canada originally used the same yards and pounds as the US, but decided to move to the metric system in 1970. However, since the U.S. uses the yard ・ and pound system, a neighboring country that has a lot of traffic, there are many situations where the two are mixed together.
    In Canada, speedometers are written in kilometers on the outside and miles on the inside, as shown in the photo. Gasoline is measured in liters in Canada as in Japan, but in the U.S. it is measured in gallons.

    In grocery stores, weights are often written in pounds lb and grams or kilograms in Canada. The photo is from a butcher shop, where the best Canadian rib steak is listed as $ 44.99 per pound and $ 98.98 per kilo. The clerks at supermarkets and other places where you hear people ordering meat and ham are very good at both.

    Height is based on centimeters, but feet feet and inches inch, and weight may also be listed in kilograms and pounds. When asked for height, for example, the answer is often Five-Ten. This is 5 feet 10 inches, or about 178 centimeters. In the world of sports, basketball, ice hockey, baseball, and other sports that are in the same league as the United States use feet, pounds, and miles in many Canadian broadcasts.

    Temperatures are measured in Celsius in Canada, the same as in Japan, but Fahrenheit is used in the United States.
