2010 Charity Christmas Dinner

Last night, we had our annual Charity Christmas Dinner. About 200 people enjoyed a traditional Christmas dinner including turkey, honey baked ham, mashed potatoes, Christmas pudding and even eggnog.

We hold this event to let everyone know that Christmas is not just for couples but also a time to share with friends, for charity and for giving. Every year we ask guests to contribute some money for UNICEF. Thanks to everyone’s charity and generosity we were able to raise more than \107,000 this year.
Thank you so much everyone who contributed.

We are looking forward to holding this event again next year and hope to see you there!!

Merry Christmas and happy new year to everyone.

Art Market and Dessert Buffet

This week we had 2 fun events in E³. One was the annual Christmas Charity Art Market on Mon and Tue. 1335 people came to the event over 2 days and \5,183 was donated by students’ stands for UNICEF.
We will hold the Art Market again next year so if you missed this time, please come along. For those who enjoyed this year’s Art Market we hope to see you next year again.

We also had a Dessert Buffet on Wednesday at lunch time. About 40 students ate all the delicious sweets they could for only \500. The Buffet included cheese cake, tiramisu, apple pie, pizza and much much more.

World Food Event

December is here!! Merry Christmas to you all!!

Yesterday, we had special volunteer guest speakers from OFIX (Osaka Foundation of International Exchange), coming from Thailand, Brazil, England and India.

They introduced us to their countries, food, language and even dance!!

We also had a Thai restaurant at E₃. The Thai restaurant Krungtep is quite famous in Osaka. They served us very delicious Thai food, such as Pad Thai and barbeque chicken. Students, staff and teachers all enjoyed the tasty Thai food and other world cuisines and cultures!!

There is one more thing to inform you of. We will have our annual Christmas Charity Art Market next week.
The Christmas Charity Art Market was started to raise money for UNICEF. Kinki University students will sell their hand-made arts and crafts, so please come and find some very cheap, but good quality things.

This event is open to the public so we welcome you all anyone who is high school age or over.

Hot Dog Eating Contest

Last Friday, we had a Hot Dog Eating Contest. 11 boys entered the contest this year and they managed to eat about 100 hot dogs in 10min!!!

This year’s champion was Shinnosuke and he ate 13 hot dogs.

He is now a true legend of E³’s Hot Dog Eating Contest. He has been the champion for 4 consecutive years. In 4 years, he has eaten about 45 hot dogs!!

Shinnosuke will graduate from Kinki University next year so this was his last Hot Dog Contest. The only students who will be able to beat Shinnosuke’s record are pharmacy students or postgraduate students.

So please enter next year’s contest and see if you can match or even break Shinnosuke’s Hot Dog record!!
