５月１１日土曜日、大通周辺を散歩しました。当日は風が少し冷たかったのですが、晴れました。参加者は六名の外国の方々と、ボランティアが四名でした。参加してくれた方の国籍は、台湾、マダガスカル、ドイツ、アメリカ、フィリピン。みなさん初対面でしたが、共通言語の英語と日本語を駆使して、それぞれお互いにコミュニケーションを取れていました。
On the 11th of May, we walked around the Clock Tower, Red Brick Office and Odori Park. It was a fine day with a bit of cold wind. Participants were 6 overseas visitors and 4 Japanese volunteers. 2 people were from Germany, one from Taiwan, one from Madagascar, one from the U.S.and one from the Philippines. Everyone met for the first time, but we had enough time to talk to each other and become friends.
