Teacher Pin-Ju started

our Global Café season

off with an in-depth

look at travelling and

studying in the UK:

“Many students ask me

about my time studying

in the UK, and tell me

about their dreams of

studying abroad. The

Global Café gave me

the opportunity to re-

late my experiences,

while also providing

ideas for those thinking

of having their own

overseas adventure.”

The Rise of the Robots!!!

Analysts in the USA recently predicted that in 20 years time more than 47% of jobs currently

performed by humans could be performed by robots instead. After all, we now have robots who

can work in hospitals to take care of elderly people, robots that can serve us at supermarket

checkouts, and robots that can help to keep our houses clean!

So, where will the robot revolution end, and what will become of human workers? Perhaps, if

everybody shares in the ownership of robots, we can all have more time for leisure activities and

artistic interests while robots earn us money. However, if the ownership of robots ends up in the

hands of just a small number of individuals, they will become rich whilst the rest of us suffer.

For decades, Japanese companies, univer-

sities and individuals have been working

hard to develop machines capable of do-

ing the work of people. For example, we

are all familiar with the robots used to

manufacture cars and perform other man-

ual labour tasks.

However, now it seems that robot tech-

nology is going to break into more sec-

tors of the economy than ever before.

Japan’s technological success may have unexpected consequences!

to reach its target, but when

it did, the resulting pictures

were astounding.

As you can see to the left,

Pluto has a soft beige-brown

look, and is adorned with an

adorable love-heart. This

heart is called the Tom-

baugh Regio, named after

the discoverer of Pluto Clyde

Tombaugh.

We are so glad that Pluto

has finally shown its beauti-

ful face to us!

Now, it is with great joy that

I can report Pluto has finally

been explored by man!

The reason it has taken until

2015 to reach Pluto is be-

cause this dwarf planet is so

very far away: more than 4.5

billion kilometers from Earth.

In 2006, NASA in the USA

pledged they would visit

Pluto with their spacecraft,

and launched the New Hori-

zons probe. This probe took

more than 9 and a half years

Pluto — The dwarf planet with a

planet sized heart!

New Horizons expands the portrait of our solar family!

Our Solar System is a fascinating

place, full of beautiful, strange and

varied planets, moons and aster-

oids. Over the last century, hu-

mans have sent rockets, probes,

satellites and landers to almost

every corner of our Solar System,

beaming back incredible images of

Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Sat-

urn, Uranus, Neptune, and many

smaller moons and asteroids.

However, one place has been

missing from this list, the smallest

planet, the dwarf planet Pluto...

San Francisco in California, USA, is one of the world’s most interesting travel destina-tions. Sprawling over the hills and valleys of the bay, and staring out over the mighty

Pacific Ocean, San Francisco has long been known as the “Golden gate to America”.

Indeed, San Francisco has welcomed generation after generation of immigrants to the

United States, and each group that has entered the city has contributed their own

unique charm to this diverse city. Below we introduce several of the unique communities

that make San Francisco such a vibrant place.

Luxury Trip! Let’s visit San Francisco!

Silicon Valley China Town Pier 39 Gay Pride

Silicon Valley is right

at the heart of Ameri-

ca’s tech boom, and is home to tech gi-

ants such as Google,

Apple and Facebook.

If it’s hot in tech, it was probably invent-

ed here!

Millions of people from

China have immigrated

into the USA through

the port of San Francis-

co, and many of those

stayed to create China

town! Try authentic

Chinese delicacies, they

are a real treat!

Pier 39 is home to the

world famous

“Fisherman’s Wharf”. Try out some great lo-

cal seafood, including

fresh shrimp, clam

chowder and Sword-

fish! You can also see

sunbathing sea lions!

San Francisco prides

itself on tolerance and

understanding for all

people, and nowhere is

this spirit clearer than

in its welcoming of gay

and lesbian people

from all over the USA

and the World.

Britain’s most famous Super Spy returns to action in the latest Bond movie!

Bond is sent to investigate the secretive and

dangerous criminal organization ’Spectre’. Along the way, he meets up with attractive

women and faces off against evil villains.

Bond’s adventure takes him all over the world,

from the crowded

streets of Mexico, to

the picturesque

sights of Rome and

Austria.

This is one of the

best Bond films ever

made, and so you

had better make your

way to your local

movie theatre!

Hitting theatres this

month is the 24th in-

stallment of Britain’s longest running film

franchise, James

Bond 007.

Daniel Craig reprises

his role as the suave

and masculine secret

agent, in what is like-

ly to be his last out-

ing as the Bond char-

acter.

In this story, James

Strange Animal… THE SLENDER LORIS!

the Slender Loris is a nocturnal animal, which means

they only come out at night.

Like many primates, including humans, the Slender

Loris is omnivorous, living on a diet of insects, liz-

ards, shoots and fruits.

This kind, cute and cuddly creature is

called the Slender Loris! They are

special animals that are native to In-

dia and Sri Lanka, where they are

known as Kaadu Paapa, which means

“Forest baby”.

The Slender Loris is a primate, which

means it is related to monkeys, but

unlike monkeys, the Slender Loris has

no tail!

When you look at the delightful face

of the Slender Loris, the first thing

you may notice is his enormous and

very cute eyes! They need these big

eyes to help them see in the dark, as

So cute and so much fun!!!
