My Favorite Restaurant

     Out of all of the restaurants I have been to in the United States, I would say my favorite restaurant is Jardines in San Juan, California. The food is absolutely delightful and the ambiance is very tranquil. My favorite thing about this restaurant is not the food, but the outdoor seating. There are multiple tables located outdoors, and during the beginning of the pandemic, my family chose this restaurant because outdoor seating was required and indoor seating was prohibited. From that point on, this became our go-to spot. Another reason why I love this beautiful and peaceful restaurant is that I can bring my German Shepherd and he can enjoy being with his family. The food is also very delicious, and the menu has a variety of plates. The menu includes all types of Mexican food, but you can order a plate of enchiladas with rice and beans or an a la carte taco of your choice. At Jardines, there is also a woman that sells beautiful hand embroidered masks. I actually bought a lovely emerald green mask with roses on it. The entire experience is wonderful, and the restaurant is very family oriented. After eating at Jardines in San Juan, my family likes to grab a small ice cream cone from down the street and we walk to the Mission of San Juan. The entire experience is very nice, and when we go, we always spot a familiar face because we only live about 20 minutes away from San Juan

    Hi Bianca. Jardines reminds me a lot of my favorite restaurant back in Seattle, Bongo's. It became my go-to spot post-pandemic as well. It's a small Caribbean restaurant with outdoor seating that has a roof over the top, with all the chairs and tables being on top of a sand floor that gives the place a beachy vibe. The walls and fences are also very colorful and set a nice tone, and the atmosphere is amazing.

    Hey Bianca. Thank you for sharing your experience at Jardin's. It's sounds like an awesome place with delicious food. Restaurants that are dog friendly are also much much better :).

    Hi Bianca! I love to see that your favorite restaurant is dog friendly!! I have a black lab that loves to join our family in all of our little adventures, so having restaurants that allow dogs to be with their family during dinner is AMAZING! Jardines seems like such a wonderful place to eat incredible Mexican food (which is truly a struggle for me to find in my hometown) and also enjoy a soothing dinner with your family!

    Restaurants where you can bring your dog know how things are done. It always makes me feel at home.

Ismene and Isma

Image
      After reading the beginning of Antigone and after finishing Home Fire , I noticed many similarities and differences between the parallel characters in both pieces of work. There is a direct connection between Isma and Ismene, Antigone and Aneeka, Creon and Karamat, Parvaiz and Polyneices, and Haemon and Eamonn. The names of these characters are fairly similar, but the similarities and differences I found to be compelling was the parallelism between Isma and Ismene. To state the obvious similarity, Isma and Ismene both have a brother who is shameful and is deemed as a traitor. They both also have a sister that is very headstrong and passionate, which differs from Isma and Ismene’s personality. Isma and Ismene are both very careful with following rules, and they tend to stay safe rather than go against the law. Both of the characters are also willing to suffer the consequences as well. One minor difference is that Isma is more sensible than Ismene and although Ismene is very carefu

Korean Workers In Japan

Image
       The topic I was assigned for Colin’s visit is Korean Workers In Japan. The image I chose was an image of colonial workers recruiting workers in Korea to take to Japan. Due to the shortage of labor in the Japanese economy in the 1920’s, Koreans who wanted employment and educational opportunities migrated to Japan. At this time, most of the workers were mainly men, but there were women as well. These workers engaged in work involving physical labor because they were poorly educated and usually illiterate. The two jobs that were very populated by Koreans were mining and factories. According to the Stanford Program on International and Cross- Cultural Education,” Between 1939 and 1945, the Japanese government brought 700,000-800,000 Koreans to work in Japan.” A large amount of these Korean workers in Japan faced many difficulties such as racial discrimination and economic exploitation, and the Japanese nationals wanted the Koreans to fully assimilate to Japanese society by offering
