On Mar 27, 2010, we enjoyed the making of Bangladesh curry and had the chance to know the traditional customs and cultures sharing by the students coming from Bangladesh.

We had a Japanese Cooking on Nov. 16th. 3 women from France, Philippines, and Indonesia participated and Mrs. Tamura taught us how to cook Japanese oden, kinpira and norimaki. Even though it was the first time for them to cook them, they were all delicious!
