Acabo de ver un video en YouTube en el que un hombre con un canal enfocado en rap va a un parque para conducir un experimento social. A los participantes les presenta una gorra llena de pedazos de papel con dichos de raperos y filósofos, y tienen que sacar un pedacito, leer el dicho y adivinar si un rapero o un filósofo lo habrá dicho. Aunque algunas personas respondieron correctamente, muchas se equivocaron. Me gusta mucho este tema porque subraya un lado de rap que a veces se olvida.

Es fählt mir schwer zu sagen was mein Lieblingserinnerung ist, wahrscheinlich würde ich dann sagen, dass ich am liebsten die Zeiten aus meiner Kindheit im Kopf abspiele.
Warum? die Sorgenfreiheit, Neugerigkeit und Energie die in jeden von uns steckte, hat jeden Tag zu Abenteuer gemacht.
Ich würde sagen, dass die Mehrheit der Menschen auch dieselbe Zeitspanne, wenn es um die beste Erinnerungen geht auswählen würden.
Viele würden sich streiten und sagen "Es gibt doch ganz viele spannende Momente als Erwachsener!". Kann auch gut sein, nun der Schicksal hat mir solche Erlebnisse in meiner Erwachsener Lebenszeit noch nicht angeboten.

Dans quelques semaines, mes vacances d'été commencent. Pour le premier mois il faut que j'écrive un essaie pour l'université et que je travaille beaucoup à la crêperie où je travaille pendant le semestre aussi. Puis au début d'août je voyage à Londres avec des amis pour une fête de musique arabe, mais bien sûr nous verrons la ville aussi. Il a passé beaucoup d'ans depuis que j'ai visité l'Angleterres alors je m'y enthousiasme. La raison pourquoi je dois travailler beaucoup jusque à l'août, c'est parce que une de mes patrons est en vacances donc je vais travailler quelques de ses heures mais dès qu'elle (la patron) revient en août je vais rendre visite à ma famille dans le sud d'Allemagne. Je m'y enthousiasme aussi parce que les étés chez mes parents me manquent beaucoup depuis que j'habite dans une autre ville par moi-même. En septembre j'ai prévu de voyager à une ville belle en Turquie parce qu'une amie proche commencera son semestre à l'étranger là et nous voulons faire un peu de vacances ensemble d'abord. Et bien sûr j'ai hâte d'y partir parce que j'aime la Turquie. Finalement, à la fin de septembre, je voudrais rendre visite à ma famille aux États-Unis pour deux semaines. J'ai prévu beaucoup et j'éspère que je vais avoir assez de temps pour faire tout ça et pour travailler quarante heures le mois aussi.
Merci d'avoir corrigé !

Quand j’étais au lycée, il était obligatoire de suivre un cours de couture. Il était une partie de l'économie domestique, ainsi que la cuisine et le travail du bois. J’ai aussi suivi un cours de l’agriculture. Mais elles sont des histoires pour un autre temps, je pense. En classe, j’ai fait un sac et quelques vêtements, et j’ai aussi appris à apprécier tous les efforts que demande la couture. Je commençais par du tissu et de la craie, et je dessinais mes formes puis les découper avec des ciseaux de couture. En général, j’avais un patron : un t-shirt, un sac à cordon, etc. Ensuite, j’utilisais des épingles pour rejoindre les morceaux de tissu, afin de les coudre : soit à la main soit à la machine. On utilisait notre propre machine à coudre, alignés le long des bureaux. Le salle de classe était remplie de tas de tissu, de pelotes à épingles, de centimètres et de dés à coudre. Quand utilisant les machines, j’ai dû enfiler le fil dans l’aiguille et à travers les bobines. La machine bourdonnait et je l’alimentais mon tissu sur la platine et voilà ! C'était terminé tout de suite. On utilisait le coton bon marché et simple, mais quelques filles connaissaient la broderie et elles brodaient leurs projets avec des petites fleurs et des étoiles dans du fil coloré. Je n’ai jamais la même capacité : j’étais assez impressionné que je ne me sois jamais empalé le doigt avec une aiguille ! J’étais bien meilleure en travail du bois. Mon amie avait beaucoup de connaissances dans la couture, le tricotage, la broderie et même le matelassage. Elle avait toujours une pelote de laine, et elle tricotait pendant nos cours. En particulier l’anglais, parce qu’elle l’a détesté. Trop de pièces de théâtre et de poèmes et pas assez de livres, je pense. J’ai l’impression qu’elle a fait un petit truc presque chaque jour. Elle a fait aussi des courtepoints (avec de belles images), des robes et toutes sortes de choses comme ça. C’est assez impressionnant, et vraiment pas mon domaine. La classe au lycée était toute mon expérience avec la couture, mais c’était assez intéressant et je pense que je pourrai recoudre une déchirure ou recoudre un bouton si jamais j'en avais besoin, et c’est suffisamment pour moi.

MÖ 4. yüzyılda, Galyalı önder Brennus İtalya’ya girip ve Roma’yı yağmaladı. Çaresiz Romalılar Kapitol’a sığındı, ama onlar cesurca direndi, bu yüzden Brennus bir anlaşma kabul etti: 1000 ons altın karşılığında Galyalılar ayrılacak. Bu ağırlığı ölçmek için bir terazi getirilmiş. Daha çok altın almak için Brennus’un kılıçını ve diğer ağır nesneleri terazinin bir kefeyi attığında, Romalılar sordu : «Hangi hakla hile yapıyorsun?». Kelt önder cevap verdi: «Muzafferin hakla! Vae victis/Vah yenilmişlere!».
Roma bu aşağılamayı asla unutmaz. Brennus’la olay Britanya ve Galiya fetihiken Roma şiddetini kesinlikle açıklıyor. Her neyse savaşın ahlak kurallarından birçoğu düşmana iyi davranmayı tavsiye edeceğine rağmen, cümle «vae victis» bir yenilmiş yeneninin insafina kalmış olduğunu bizi hatırlatıyor.

I need to plan Mr Jack's travel to Lima/Peru for summit. So do you mind if you share the schedule of the summit with us?
I can take necessary actions for him not to miss important events or activities as it takes almost 30 hours to get there. At least, I had better learn when the event will exactly starts and when Machu Picchu visit will happen.

I still remember in my childhood i prefer winter. Back then there were still snowing days, and i would sometimes play outside with other kids. My father is an interesting man and he always shows us, me and my little brother thick ice blocks taken from pool or river. It's now snowing for years now, and i do not like winter anymore. Instead, Autumn became the new favorite one until a heart-breaking date. Severe melancholy haunted me in the last two whole springs, so now my favorite part would be summer as at least, it's not treating me badly, isn't it?

I've been interested in watching TV shows or animes in different language when I was a teenager.
By now, that hobby motivates me to keep practicing different languages.
Every so often, I play games, listen to voice woks, such like ASMR and all like that to practice the language that I'm learning.
Nowadays, I find that there are many ways to keep practicing a language, and it also can be a change of pace from only reading a textbook.

Nowadays, I think it's very important to develop new skills that are going to be useful in the future. That's why I want to implement a new schedule and new activites and take advantage of all the time I have during the vacations.
The first one is improving my English. I think it's been and it's gonna always be one of the most important skills existing. Indeed, being able to speak fluently and understand easily podcasts and videos enables you to get access to a way broader basis of contents. Moreover I think it's very helpful for your brain cause it forces it to create connections and it represents a huge amount of learned words that creates connections and trigger really good health effects. One of them for instance is the ability to get a better memorisation.
However, that's not the only one reason why I want to improve my English. I think it must be a magical feeling to be bilingual and my dream is to understand naturally my favourite songs that are almost all in English. That motivation is my fuel to push through even when it's difficult.
The second skill I really want to develop is a better understanding and use of AI. The problem here is that I really start from scratch so it's gonna take a while before I really fell the progress.
Basically what I want to do is watching videos about the history of AI, the news and the optimisation of using it (for instance using the good prompts and choosing the best AI for each task I'm doing). This is probably going to be one of the most useful skills so I want to leverage this powerful tool to take advance on other people who just use it to cheat during the exams and to think for themselves.
I think I'm going to try every tips and methods I hear so it becomes very familiar.
Finally, I want to improve my guitar skills. I don't think the benefits of that activity are tangible but they are deffinitely very important. I think it helps you creating connections between your body (with finger and your brain that's powerful. In addition it forces you to be disciplinate if you want to progress and it also improves your patience.
To conclude, I think the more skills you get, the best your value is going to be in the future so the most easily it's going to be to adapt yourself to the new world AI is creating.
Tell me what you thought of my English and feel free to give me some advice!

When I was young, I changed jobs a lot.
I worked as a plumber, and a crane operator.
At the beginning of 2026, I became unemployed.
It has been a watershed year for me.
Of course, I still needed food to survive, but I did not want to buy it from a supermarket.
I wanted to grow my own food. I planted corns in the soil near my house.
Growing food is brutally hard work under the hot sun.
My food cost almost nothing.
Because I lived deep in the woods, people from the town often asked me, "do you feel terribly lonely?"
I spent many days and nights completely alone.
Being alone was my absolute best friend.
When I was alone in the woods at midnight, I never felt empty.
I felt the entire beautiful universe was sitting right there with me.
The moon and the stars were my company.
Some mornings I did not do anything except pray to God.
I just sat in a bench from the early dawn until noon.
I did nothing that society would call "productive".
I felt the warm sun on my face. I think time is life instead of money.
When you sell your time, you sell your life.
You sell your life, and you can never buy it back.
No matter how rich you become, you can never buy those lost hours back.
I was not wasting time, I was resting my soul.
I was producing peace in my own heart, and peace in your heart is much more valuable than any gold coin.
I realized a beautiful truth. Time is not a monster chasing you.
Time is just a quiet stream, and I was sitting by the water, fishing.
I was not fishing for fish. I was fishing for the truth of my own life.
We are always trapped in the future, worrying about next month's bills.
We are always trapped in the past, feeling sad about old mistakes.
Because our minds always travel to tomorrow or yesterday, we completely forget to live today.
The present moment, you are breathing right now is the only thing we actually possess.
But living in the present moment did not mean I did nothing all day.
I go into mountains and spend time outdoor.
I am a big hiker, and go into mountains on weekends.
When you simplify your days, you will finally have time to breathe.

なぜ日本の夏はずいぶん蒸し暑くて、僕の学校はエアコンを使わないですか。今はとても暑いから、自分の体は動けないと感じる。脳みそも考えられない。今も5時間目で月曜日に5時間目に授業がないから、この話を書いているですけど、書いていながら考えられない。多分、生徒たちも授業や勉強に集中出来ないと思います。本当に、この天気の中に誰か何か仕事が出来る方がわからないです。よく日本人に「死にたい」と聞くから、この意味わからんけど。意味はこの感じですか。先週末に全部準備終わったから喜ぶ。なぜなら、もし準備終わらなったら、本当に今出来ないです。でも、6時間目に職員会があるから、頑張ります。そして、会議はみんな日本語しか話さないから、楽しみじゃないです。

On a typical weekend afternoon, I walked by Pudong Avenue when a sudden rain forced me to abandon my original plans. Pulling up the map on my phone, I discovered that the Pudong Development Exhibition Hall was just a short walk away.
Though it's merely a modest two-story building, the exhibition left a profound impression on me—one that I will need weeks to digest fully.
Inside, I found relics from the early days of Pudong's development: desks, chairs, filing cabinets, telephones, and even ordinary water bottles and teacups. These humble items were similar to those I had seen with my own young eyes back in my hometown. Yet today, Pudong has far surpassed my hometown.
That rainy afternoon visit sparked a lingering question in my mind: What is the most crucial factor for a place to thrive?
Is it money? Certainly, funding is vital, but countless examples show that capital can easily be wasted. Is it a grand program or blueprint? Undoubtedly, planning is essential.
But perhaps, through my limited perspective, the true catalyst lies in the collective mindset, unwavering belief, and decisive action.
When I was a child, too young to be excluded from adult conversations, I often overheard complaints from my uncles, who were local officials. (A word of advice: never assume children don't understand; they absorb and remember far more than you realize.) The challenges they complained about were the same ones Pudong faced back then.
Walking through the exhibition hall, you can clearly trace that very spirit of mindset, belief, and action. Had my hometown possessed the same driving force, it would undoubtedly be in a much better state today.
On a personal level, this visit taught me a valuable lesson: whenever the urge to complain arises, pause to learn, make a plan, and take immediate action. Seize the moment. After all, every present moment holds the potential to be the dawn of a historic change.

Last Christmas, a British media outlet posted an article saying that “Japanese people celebrate Christmas by eating KFC fried chicken,”
which went viral. The tone felt somewhat mocking toward Japanese people, and it is wrong to say that KFC represents the Japanese way of celebrating Christmas. It is simply one of the dishes some families enjoy.
Furthermore, what I recently learned is that KFC Japan’s chicken is completely different from KFC US and UK. In Japan, chickens are raised on herb‑based feed in a freer environment, resulting in firmer, more aromatic meat that is not watery. In contrast, the U.S. and UK uses broiler chickens raised in a short period, which often leads to watery and oily meat from stressed birds. Oil management is also much stricter in Japan, while in the U.S. the quality and temperature control of frying oil vary greatly by store, often making the chicken greasier.
KFC Japan’s founder said in his biography that the U.S. headquarters once pushed Japan to adopt an efficiency‑first, profit‑maximization approach. However, he firmly refused and protected Japan's quality standards. Knowing this background, it makes perfect sense that KFC Japan can be considered a proper Christmas dish. Now I feel like going to the nearby KFC for the first time in months.

I've been reading the Bible since my childhood, and I want to read the whole Bible, but I don't finish it often.
I've read Genesis ten thousand times.
God made Adam and Eve, letting them live in Eden with one rule:never eat the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge.
Tricked by a serpent, they ate the forbidden fruit.
They saw good and evil, felt ashamed, and were finally driven out of the garden by God.
From that moment on, all their descendants would live a life of hard labor, marked by the separation from the innocent, unburdened life in Eden.

Las últimas noticias sobre mi progreso en estudiar la teoría de la música.
Hace un poco tiempo, publiqué que emepecé a estuidar la teoría de música. Estaba estudiando por el libro "コード理論大全". Hasta ahora, terminé la primera parte, ¡así que estoy aproximadamente a 1/12 de mi libro! Para no olvidarme de lo que he aprendido, estaba creando tarjetas.
La primera parte trata de los fundamentos, como los intervalos, el círculo de quintas, tríadas, y acordes de séptima. La parte dos trata de armonía para los claves principales, así que estoy emocionada. Comparado con mis intentos anteriores en aprender la teoría de música, he aprendido más que la vez anterior, así que estoy feliz.

OLC发布了无人机表演将从七月一日到九月十四日在东京迪士尼乐园举办。
这是特别增加的演出,用来纪念在Cinderella城上进行的投影映射表演的闭幕。
Fantasy Springs开业的前一天,无观众的无人机表演在东京迪士尼海洋举办,而且通过电视和YouTube转播。
不过,这个有观众的无人机表演在东京迪士尼度假区是第一次尝试。
无人机表演在海外迪士尼园区已经普及。
不过,由于日本航空法严格,长期以来被认为难以在园区实施无人机表演。
因此,无人机表演让粉丝既开心又惊讶。
另一方面,也给游客带来了一些不便。
从无人机表演开始前二十五分钟起,禁止游客进入Cinderella城背后的Fantasyland区域。
幸运的是,《小熊维尼的蜂蜜之旅》作为Fantasyland里最受欢迎的项目之一,不在限制范围内,可以照常游玩。
然而,一些项目的提前关闭会影响其他区域的人流。
因为我在实施期间不会去东京迪士尼乐园,所以无法亲眼看到那里的情况。
我希望不会发生严重的问题。
