Hello everyone!

In fact, I, who am in charge of the Fresa Totsuka store's blog, have returned to my hometown!
I also left Japan and returned to the Philippines!

We arrived at Ninoy Aquino International Airport with clouds that looked like angry fists being raised.
This time I stayed in a place called Cubao in the Philippines.
Here in Cubao, there is a town called Araneta City, which is home to the Araneta Coliseum, one of the largest indoor arenas in Asia!

It hosts basketball and boxing matches, and was also the site of the Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier fight known as the Thriller in Manila!
This fight of the century was the inspiration for the shopping mall next to the Araneta Coliseum being named "Ali Mall."
Ali Mall is known as the oldest shopping mall in the Philippines!
The Araneta Coliseum is also the venue where Miss Philippines is chosen, and hosts many live concerts by world-class artists.

Recently, YOASOBI performed live, which is still fresh in my memory.
Personally, I have seen live performances by TOTO, Avril Lavigne and Mr. Big here!!
It was the best lol

This was my first visit home in two years, and the first thing I did when I got back was to eat Jollibee, Filipino soul food!

Jollibee is a fast food restaurant from the Philippines that is not available in Japan but has expanded into the US and other parts of the world.

This sweet spaghetti made with banana ketchup is delicious.
And this fried chicken, which has been voted the No. 1 fried chicken in America, is delicious.

Filipinos eat it with gravy sauce, but I prefer to eat it just as is lol
And Jollibee has a mascot character, Jollibee the bee!
As some of you may have noticed, the "B" in Jollibee stands for "bee" lol

At my high school, on the chairman's birthday, Jollibee came to the school, performed a dance, and gave out a hamburger to each student.
It brings back memories lol

This time we also took a commemorative photo with Jollibee in front of the store!
We'll be introducing a little more of our early summer vacation in the future!
We would be happy if you could take a look.
