Bakery’s breads are so cheap and delicious. The cost of bread ranges from about 40 yen to 150 yen. It is one of the reason that a popular bakery has a cheap price. Fresh baked bread is very delicious. Although I don’t know what kind of bread of other country have, I think that Japanese bread is abundant, unique and everyone can enjoy eating.

Do you like sweets? For example, there are roll cake, cream puff, cheese cake, éclair, and jelly and custard pudding. Roll cake is the most popular in these. It has some kinds every season.

You can’t books for one day if you don’t give back books.


KGU has a lot of PC at building 14. I don't know how many PC has. But I think that KGU has more than 500 PCs. PCs are sat also building 1 and library and the listening of building 4. Moreover there are new styles PC. Also there are Apple's PCs. Everyone can use PC. Recently, in KGU PC is used in many cases at the time of classes. It’s more pleasant.

Contrary opinions are the more you spend for buy new clothes. We think negligent in dress when we don’t wear tie and jacket. The temperature of air-conditioning has to hold down and so on.         At first “the more you spend for buy new clothes”. I think so too. I became college student two years ago. I have to think fashions everyday because a school uniform have disappeared. Many people is delighting to wear favorite clothes. But I want to make a school uniform in college. I can’t be bothered to think about clothes every day; I have to spend much money for clothes.
