The other day, there was a welcome party for the university's B4 (fourth-year college students) seminar.

I'm not too fond of a drinking party, but I may attend a party where we rent a room at the university and have a little over an hour of pizza and beer (soft drinks).

I think of it as "a slightly longer dinner."

I don't get tired and can do my work normally after the party.

Since half of the seminar students are from foreign countries, I have resigned myself to the fact that, inevitably, the conversation will be English-based.

However, I am sorry that I cannot provide the topic well.

At the welcome party, I apologized to an international student.

"I apologized for always being biased toward topics such as "the lives of Muslims" and "how to spend Ramadan in Japan."

Inevitably, I direct in a particular direction.

I heard there are already "prayer spaces" at universities.

I could not even ask him the following question.

"I know that "halal" is important for Muslims, but doesn't "pork ramen" still appeal to you?"
