Guests: Kazuma Shirai, Senior Administrative Officer, Tanzania Embassy, and Hosea M. Chikolongo, Political and Cultural Attaché
On Sunday, September 15, we welcomed Kazuma Shirai and Chikolongo from the Tanzania Embassy, who spoke about the charms of Tanzania.
Tanzania is 2.5 times the size of Japan, and the distance between the two countries is about the same as between Tokyo and New York. It is a very young country, with a median age of 17.9 years old.
It is famous for its snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro (5,895m).
Serengeti National Park means "endless grassland" and is home to nearly 3 million wildebeest, who migrate in search of grass during the dry season. It is also home to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, known as the "zoo of the world," and the Maasai culture. The official languages are Swahili and English. Safari means "journey" in Swahili. The venue was filled with excitement, with people who had been to Tanzania and those planning to go.
