Presentation Day

This is presentation Day and the last class with our Sensei. How time flies. Our group will present about theme of lifestyle and technology and our title was Capsule Hotel. Capsule hotels debuted in 1979 in Osaka with the "Capsule Hotel In Osaka" in the city's bustling Umeda district. Architect Kisho Kurokawa designed the hotel, which seemed like a logical extension of the Tokyo residential and office tower, Nakagin Capsule Tower. That structure, built in 1972, offered tiny, capsule-like apartments.

Different capsule hotels have different rules, but as this Japanese site notes, there are some basic rules:

• Take off your shoes

• Capsule Hotel Wear

• Using the Bath or Sauna

Sadly, this is our last class with Sensei. Below are some photos to be keeps as our memories.

This is my classmates BB4 with our Sensei Zoraidah.

Thank you Sensei for the knowledge that you have imparted to us.

ありがとございます　せんせい！！

Lastly, wish the best for our final examination.
