What a waste.

 

How Shinpukan used to be.

This year Kyoto's Shinpukan closed.  Above that, except for the facade, the building was demolished. I really liked Shinpukan, there were a variety of restaurants, especially I often went to the Indian restaurant. There were many events at Shinpukan and the atmosphere was always good. I heard that a hotel was going to be built there. In my opinion, for people living in Kyoto, Shinpukan is more important than a hotel. But yesterday, while I was strolling by Shinpukan, I saw a surprising thing. Shinpukan has become a car park. What a waste!  


今年、京都の新風館が閉まった。その上ファサード以外、そのビルを取り壊した。僕は新風館が大好きだった。いろいろないいレストランがあった。特にそのビルのインド料理の店によく行った。新風館ではたくさんのイベントがあった。いつもいい雰囲気があった。その場所で新しいホテルを作ると聞いた。僕の意見では、京都に住んでいる人のためにホテルより新風館の方が大切だった。でも昨日新風館の近くで散歩しながら、驚くべき物を見た。新風館は駐車場になった。本当にもったいない！

Before class think about something that you think was wasted and write about it. Be ready to talk about it and answer questions in class.
