Lake Champlain Chocolates

Visiting Lake Champlain Chocolates factory

Lake Champlain Chocolates factory is placed in Vermont, 10 ~ 15 min from Saint Mike's by car.

You will see many good Chocolates  when you get into this factory.

You can have lecture about them which makes me sleepy.

They told us how does the factory and company developed, how to make chocolates and how the taste is different.

                               

Before I went to there, I have never thought about the difference between black, milk and white chocolate. Of course I can taste difference, but I have never thought about that. 

And I found that I prefer white one.

I am sure you can have tasty chocolates and really great time!

Yuichi

Introduce myself

Hi! My name is Chiba, Yuichi.
I'm from Tokyo, Japan. I belong to International "Christian" University.

However, I am not Christian. It does not make sense.

If someone asked me "Then, what's your religion?"
I will tell them "I don't know."

When I think about my religion, I feel myself weird.
My family religion is "Zen," but it appears only in funerals.

When we eat, I appreciate sprits of animals and vegetables.
However, it is like only a custom.

I do not believe in those things as religion.

Well, then... Can I say "I do not have any religion?"

Maybe not, because "my feelings" are based on some sort of  "animism."
For me, everything in this world seems to have spirits, even it is not "living."
I think all Japanese have this kind of sense, but they are unconscious on that or try to ignore that.
This "unconsciousness" is really important.
I think our religion is too close to see for Japanese.
And this is really difficult to define as "religion," because we are unconscious on our religious things.
This is a part of Japanese unique things.
So... Now, I tell you "my religion is Japanese." Still it dose not make sense.

As you see in this post, I love to think about myself and culture.

This is Yuichi, a Japanese who likes to talk, think and sing.

Thank you for reading.
