My Tacos Day, by Sohei

 On a lovely sunny Sunday morning, I went to a Mexican grocery store. One of my teachers told me about the fantastic tacos there, and I really wanted to try them. During the holiday weekend, I decided to go and try the “really good” tacos. 

Don Pancho is located on South Cedar Street in Lansing, Michigan. It took about 30 minutes to get there from MSU’s Owen Hall by bike. The store had a variety of items like vegetables, fruits, Mexican spices, meats, drinks, and more. They also sold Mexican food for takeout. There were burritos, quesadillas, gorditas, tacos dorados, tortas, and of course, tacos. 

 The tacos had so many options! First, you choose the type of meat.  Then, you choose from the Mexican style and the American style. Mexican style uses double corn tortillas with your choice of meat, topped with cilantro and onions. American style also comes with your choice of meat but includes lettuce, tomato, cheese, and sour cream as toppings. 

You can choose from a variety of meats: 

  • Carne Asada (steak) 

  • Barbacoa (shredded beef) 

  • Carne Molida (ground beef) 

  • Pollo (shredded chicken) 

  • Al Pastor (marinated pork) 

  • Carnitas (fried pork) 

  • Chorizo (sausage) 

  • Lengua (tongue) 

  • Tripa (tripe) 

  • Cecina (cured beef) 

  • Mexican style Barbacoa!

    I wasn’t sure which meat to choose because they all looked delicious. After thinking it over, I went with Mexican style Barbacoa and it turned out to be a great choice. This is one of the most delicious tacos I’ve ever had in my life! The barbacoa was well-seasoned and incredibly juicy. The cilantro and onion toppings helped remove any strong smell from the meat. Also, the corn tortillas were slightly baked and had a crispy surface. 


  • I really liked it and ended up eating three tacos! After that, I wanted to try more taco meat options. I also recommend eating them fresh, right after they’re made. 

  • That way, the tortillas stay stable and the meat remains juicy. The tacos were not expensive, only $3 each, and two were enough for lunch. I highly recommend visiting Don Pancho on South Cedar Street and trying their tacos for lunch. I’m very thankful to my teacher who recommended it! 

     

    I hope you have a great day with tacos!

Impressions of the East Lansing Art Fair

The American-style food from an American food truck, which was quite expensive and salty for me.         From Dahyeon:       I’d like to tell you something about the East Lansing Art Festival. There are so many things I’d like to share with you, but for now, I just want to tell you three of them.      First of all, I am going to introduce the core of the festival, the booths. There were a variety of booths featuring jewelry, paintings, photographs, and ceramics. There are about 135 booths, so you're likely to find one that suits your taste. In Korea, the main purpose of the artists at the festival is to sell their artworks. However, unlike in Korea, I felt that the artists at this festival had another meaningful goal — to connect and communicate with others. It was truly beautiful to see the artists talking with tourists about their work. If you want to experience meaningful conversations with artists, just come and enjoy t...

My Precious Classmate

Do you remember the first day of this semester? I definitely remember when I met each classmate for the first time. At the beginning of the semester, it was awkward to speak in English with my c My classmate lassmate b ecause they weren't Korean, and most of them were also older than me. However, as time went by, I realized that they are so kind, and I can learn many things by doing activities in our class.    First, some people are not afraid to speak English, so they started conversation naturally to me. For example, Suguru and I usually arrived at school early, and from the start of the semester, he would always initiate conversations in a gentle, non-intimidating way. Even though it was a really simple question, I could develop my English-speaking skills and gain confidence. Thanks to him , my fear of speaking English gradually faded. Now, I can st art a conversation first with my classmate !     Second, when we learned about histroy, and polit...
