Today’s message is about the 13th Fukuoka Korean Speech Contest. It is a competition where those studying Korean will compete, sharing a speech on a theme of their choice. And, as this year marks the 50th anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic relations between South Korea and Japan, a concert is planned in celebration featuring Korean performer Jo A Ram playing the electric violin.

It takes place on Sunday, November 29th from 1:15 PM until 5 PM at the 1st floor hall of Fuku Fuku Plaza in Arato, in the Chuo ward of Fukuoka. It is free to participate and reservations are not necessary. Come and enjoy the event!

And, Rainbow Plaza has one more announcement…

Twice every month, on the first and third Thursday of the month, there is a “Japanese Chat Salon” being held in the Fukuoka City International Foundation large conference room on the 5th floor of Fukuoka City Hall’s North Annex. It’s a place where foreigners studying Japanese in Fukuoka, including students of Japanese language schools, and local Japanese volunteers can get together in a relaxed atmosphere and talk. The next session is scheduled for December 3rd.
