Mark先生の菓子博レポート
4月25日の好天に恵まれた中、マーク先生は姫路菓子博に行きました。
その感想をよせてくれていますので、みなさん、ご参考にしてください。
（・・・遅かった？）
Today I went to the Himeji Sweets Festival in the morning.
It was a lovely day with a warm, gentle breeze blowing
through the trees and the temperature just perfect for
standing in lines. “Standing in lines” you say? Why, yes,
since like most festivals in Japan, it was VERY popular and
that means having to wait a long time to see anything!
I managed to get into the ‘Theme Pavilion’ to see some
of the artistic confectionary on display, but it took just
over two hours to get inside! It was worth the wait though,
since the detail on some of the pieces was amazing. You
had to keep reminding yourself that every feather, every
petal, every tiny detail was made of sugar! The scale model
of the Japanese castle was incredible as well. I hope you can
visit if you have the chance, but a word of advice: get there
early and be prepared to wait!

日本の催しでは、待つことには当たり前！というものの、パビリオンへの入場
は、２時間待ちだったようです。しかし、待った甲斐あり！の展示物に満足し
たようですね。姫路城も細部に至るまですべてお菓子で作られているのには
驚かされますよね。みなさんも、まだ行かれていないようなら、ぜひ行って
みてくださいね。‘待ち時間’の準備も忘れずに！
