The oldest University...and Krispy Kreme
First, did you read the blog Luis wrote the other day, his self-introduction? In it, he mentioned that the University he went to was the oldest Uni in Portugal. Then in class I asked a few people, "What is the oldest University in Japan?" One person said "Keio University," and another person said "I think it's Waseda University." But neither of them were too confident. So I asked Mr. K to check it out. And, like he always does(Mr. K is very good at finding out things..), he emailed me the next day:
"Hi Glenn. The oldest university in Japan is Shuchiin university in Fushimi-ku, Kyoto.It was established in 828 by Kukai, he is Buddhist monk. http://www.shuchiin.ac.jp/enkaku.html "
So, for all of you trivia nuts, that's the answer.
And on a side note, Kukai is my favorite Buddhist monk.
Then, I decided to find out what was the oldest University in America. So, I surfed the net, but I learned that actually there is not officially "the first" or "the oldest" University in America. It is complicated and difficult to explain why, but if you are interested please check out wikipedia: "first University in the United States"
While on the topic of Universities, let me ask you all:
Did you go to University? If yes:
Where did you go?
What did you major in? (What was your major?)
Did you like University?
What is your best memory from University?
If you could do it all over again, would you go to the same University? major in the same subject?
Why or why not?
And to change the subject, I read Ms. R's blog yesterday and I laughed. The title was: "" Are Osakans sick of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts?!"
She went on to explain that when she bought these donuts last week she only had to wait in line for about 15 minutes. But when the shop first opened, she saw on the news that some people waited up to 7 hours! (I know that is ridiculous, but it is true!! When I walked by that shop at that time, I saw the incredibly long line! I was flabbergasted!!)
Anyway, have you ever tried these donuts?
Did you wait in line for a long time?
Was it worth the wait?
Is the fad over? Are Osakans tired of these donuts? What do you think?
This is Ms. R's actual blog:
"At last , I got some krispy kreme doughnuts!! According to the TV news, this shop was awaiting 7 hours while the GW in tokyo. But I waited for 15 minutes. Because I was box buying."
