J-Talk参加に関するための確認事項 日本から留学中の高校生の皆さんへ AJAが主宰して、毎月開催している日豪会話クラブ「J-Talk」は、英語と日本語で様々な人種の人達や年齢を超えて交流できる素晴らしい会なので、皆さんのように、いろいろと体験がしたいと考えているひとたちには大変有意義な会です。 ただ、会場がシティーの繁華街にあること、そして時間も夜であることなどの関係で、AJAとしては、未成年である皆さんの安全を第一に考える必要があります。 ということで、以下の注意事項と確認事項を必ず読んでください。 J-Talkの会場について この何年か、よく使われているのは　Ryumon Ramen Izakaya　です。 最近はここのレストランを使っていますが、時々別の場所になることもあります。 J-Talkの時間について 基本的に夜ですので、高校生の皆さん、特に日本から留学中の皆さんには ★AJAとしては、積極的には参加を勧めてはいません。 Ryumon Ramen Izakaya　とHindlery Street について Izakayaとは書いてありますが、飲み屋という感じではなく、ラーメンが食べられる清潔で明るい雰囲気のレストランです。 もちろん、お酒も提供しています。 住所が、Hindley Street　という通りで、アデレードでは、一番の繁華街にあります。 ただし、このレストランは、同じHindley Streetの中でも、King William Street 寄りで、繁華街とよばれているエリアではなく、比較的安全な通りではあります。 しかしながら、やはり、これまでも、殺傷事件などが起きたりしていますから、 J-Talk参加者には大人でも、そちらの方角には行くことや一人歩きは控えるよう伝えてあります。  ラッキーなことに、J-Talk参加者が今まで事件に巻き込まれたという例はありませんが、いつどこで何があるかわからないので、そこは自分たちで責任を持って行動するように参加者にはつたえてあります。 高校生以下の人達の参加について  高校生以下の人達は、例えば、ご父兄と一緒に参加する場合は問題はありません。 親子留学をしている小学生や中学生の生徒さんたちも、たまに参加することがありますが、父兄と一緒なので、問題はありません。 また...
