Today I went to Tokyo Gakugei University
to get a brochure on its extension lectures 2015.





It is located in Koganei City next to Kodaira City.

It's about 30 minutes' walk from my apartment
but I went there by bus today.

There are 42 extension lectures this year.
I'm planning to apply for some of these lectures.

I had lunch at Students' Cafeteria.



The cafeteria was full of young boys and girls.
They looked like freshmen or sophomores.

I felt as if I myself were a university student.
When I was a student at university,
I used to take my meals at Students' Cafeteria.
Oh, my good old days!

By the way, what shall I do?
I looked for a seat with my tray of かき揚げそば
in hands. It cost 360 yen.



I said to two boys in English, ”Can I join you?”

One of them said, “Sure.”
We enjoyed talking in English.

They were first year students majoring linguistics 言語学.
They looked happy to be university students.

In front of the cafeteria, the performance started
in order to invite freshmen to circle activities.




Now I’m looking for the exit.
Oh, where is the exit?
I have no sense of direction.

I asked a young gentleman nearby
which way I should go.
He was so kind as to take me to the exit.
(Did I look that old?)
I spoke to him in English and he spoke both in English
and Japanese.
He gave me his calling card, saying good-bye.
The card said he was an associate professor
at Tokyo Gakugei University.

It's nice to be among young people.
