Campus Tour: Day 3
Apr. 11th, 2007 08:50 amFor the first time, our students have a cafeteria...or, should I say, a CafeteRits. (Feel free to groan. I want to bang my head against a wall every time I see that name.)
As you enter the cafeteria, the first thing on your left is the umbrella stand. After the umbrella stand is a pair of drink vending machines, one of them containing an AED (Automated External Defibrillator). These devices have been springing up all over, particularly at train stations. Another thing I should point out about the vending machines is that they do not contain coffee, to the dismay of the faculty. Supposedly this is because caffeine is detrimental to young teens such as the new middle school students, but since coffee is available inside the cafeteria (and other drinks in the vending machine such as tea also contain caffeine), the faculty feel that the reason is not good enough.
I'm just glad it has Kirin Milk Tea. That's the best stuff EVER. None of the other types/brands of tea even come close.
Through another set of doors is the cafeteria proper. Immediately to the left of the doors are sinks for washing up before you eat. The cafeteria provides a decent selection...if all you want is Japanese food. Like a good restaurant, the cafeteria also has a plastic food display to help you decide what you want for lunch.
If the options given do not suit you, of course, you can always shuffle on over to the convenience store. It stocks various types of sandwiches, snack food, drinks, and school supplies. Plus, if you want to show your school spirit, you can also purchase Ritsumeikan merchandise.
Finally, in the far corner, there is a set of microphones. These can be used in the event of a party (such as the faculty introduction party, which was held in the cafeteria) to address the attendees.
...I don't know if that sound system is set up for karaoke...but it OUGHT to be...
