Pleasant Cafe

     Does everyone need a relaxing place? How about The Bistro at Willamette University? Willamette students Eric Fishman and John Donovan thought that campus had a problem. There was no place to hang out to eat something. The Bistro was built in 1986 as a place where students can hang out in the evening after cafeterias closed for dinner. The Bistro’s slogan is “A student-run business”. All of work in there is by students. The Bistro has high standards for their foods and beverages. There is various kind of menu such as coffee, other beverages, cookies, bagels and so on. The Bistro serves their products as soon as possible after made. Everything people see in The Bistro’s case is fresh! On weekdays, people can go there until 1:00 am!! The Bistro is always bustling. Everyone often can see people in The Bistro at night. There, people can hear music agreeable to the occasion and study with relax.

PowWow at Willamette University


     What is a PowWow ? Does everyone want to know what is it ? A PowWow is an event which is Native Americans. This event happens on campus every year. If people go there, they can have an entirely new experience. First of all, people can see some stalls that sell unique Native American things. There were many colorful things. Everyone can buy something made by Native American. Just looking make everyone happy too. Then everyone enter the gym. There was the peculiar smell of the sage they burned to purify the air. And there were a lot of people who were wearing dresses that were pleasant to the eye. And they put on big wings. It was so amazing! People will be surprised, because one group of them their skin was dyed black and covered their face with cloth, so people can’t see their face. But their performance was powerful and rhythmical. And the sound was easy to memorize. It was great. If people go to PowWow, everyone can learn about Native American at that time. It will be a good experience. And also, Pow Wow has buffalo hamburger. It's so delicious. Everyone should eat it!!
