6. Du kan bo utomlands i ett år. Vilket land väljer du?

Jag skulle välja Japan.

När jag var 19 år gammal blev jag i kär med en Japanska man: Ryota. Vi träffade i Nya Zeeland, där min mamma skickade mig för att lära mig engelska. Han gick till samma skolan som mig och var 3 år äldre. Han var min första kärlek och även om vi inte pratar längre nu minns jag fortfarande honom med kärlek. Vår förhållande var svårt: vi kom från olika kulturer, hade olika traditioner och olika sätt att se världen, men jag älskade honom och han älskade mig. Hans vänner fick att bli mina vänner också: Naoki och Aki från Japan, och Hyu Jin från Sydkorea. Vi var ett par i 9 månader.

Tre månader i förhållandet åkte han tillbaka till Japan. Hans tid i Nya Zeeland var slut och han behövde gå till universitet. Det var jätte svårt för mig och jag välde att åka tillbaka till Tahiti (mitt hemland) snabbare än planerat, som var ett misstag enligt mig. Jag älskade Nya Zeeland och min bästa vän där, Marybel från Belgien. Men jag ville vara med min mamma och mina vänner som jag saknade så mycket.

Jag stannade självklart i kontakt med Ryota och några månader senare överraskade mig min mamma med en flygbiljett till Japan! Jag skulle se Ryota igen under tre veckor! Jag skulle tillbringa två veckor i Osaka, hans stad och då en vecka i Tokyo och staderna omkring Tokio för att träffa andra vänner.

Min tid i Japan var så fin. Jag har många bra minnen och särskilt om maten! Jag älskar japanska mat! Jag fick se igen Aki i Tokio och Elizabeth, en spanska vän som bodde nära Tokio. Ryota arbetade när jag åkte och hans mamma tog mig i staderna nära Osaka för att besöka allt. Vi kunde inte prata tillsammans: hon pratade inte engelska och jag pratade inte japanska men vi kunde kommunicera genom gester och tecken. Jag minns fortfarande hans familj: morsan Emiko, fadern Ichigo, systern Yuki och hunden Reina.

Men jag har också dåliga sinnen… Ryota var inte samma mannen som jag hade blivit kär i. Han hade ändrat och jag kunde inte se en framtid med honom, så innan jag åkte till flygplatsen gjorde vi slut förhållandet. Tio månader efter vi träffade och nio månader efter vi blev ett par var det över.

Dessutom fick jag appendicit när jag var i Japan och det gjorde mina sista dagar jätte svåra. Jag kunde inte njuta av ingenting. Min vän Aki körde mig till sjukhuset men ingen kunde tala engelska och doktorn förstod inte vad hände. Han gav mig medicin mot diarré…

När jag åkte tillbaka till Tahiti tog mig min mamma direkt till sjukhuset och där sagt doktorn att jag hade appendicit. Jag stannade i sjukhuset över natten för att vara säkert att inget kunde hända till mig och de opererade mig nästa dagen. Doktorn sa att jag hade haft mycket tur för att det var allvarligt och jag kunde ha dött vilka dagar som helst…

Jag tror att jag kan inte minnas mycket från Japan på grund av smärtan jag hade både av appendicit och insikten att Ryota var inte samma mannen jag älskade. Min hjärna har gömt bort de smärtsamma minnena och den tog några av de goda minnena…

Nu är det 14 år senare och en av mina drömmar är att åka tillbaka till Japan för att bo där åtminstone 6 månader. Jag vill lära mig mer om Japans kultur och traditioner. Jag älskar tofu och det finns där mycket restauranger som lagar rätter med bara tofu, sojabönor, sojamjölk, okara osv: det verkar vara intressant! Jag lär mig lite japanska också för att kunna tala med folket när jag åker.

Jag hoppas att jag kommer att få en dag möjlighet att åka dit.

L'école

Ce n'est pas un sêcret que la systeme scolaire a quelques fautes, rien est parfait. Mais on ce cas ce qui m'enverve est que la plupart des gens qui pourrait la changer sont au courant. À mon avis l'education est le plus important pour un pays. C'est la meilleure facon de sauver un pays du pauvreté. Malheureusement la systeme scolaire est encore coincer aux denieres siècles. Il y a besoin des meilleurs profs qui apprendre mieux à ses élèves et faissaient plus attention au eux mentalité. C'était seulement un point de plusieurs où il faut s'ameliorer.

ホランダのライデン

先週末妻と一緒にホランダーへ行ってきた。
車で自転車を持って行った。デン ハーグ(Den Haag)と ライデン(Leiden)で 乗り回った。デン ハーグを数回訪れたけどライデンは初めた。
ライデンの旧市が綺麗だ。たくさんの運河や橋や古い家がある。有名な画家レンブラントの(Rembrandt)がその都市で生まれた。天気は晴れだから美術館を訪れなかった、海岸へ自転車に乗った。土曜日に美味しいタイの料理を食べた。たとえば豆腐にサテソースが連れていた。そのブレンドがすきかった。

Calculation

The salary is $770. My house rent will be double from $250 to $500 and I have to buy foods of $100 throughout a month because a lunch is not enough to survive and I have to pay the invoices of $100 such as electricity, water, apartment expenses and so on. Now you expect me to be happy with leftover $70, which will be paid for heating of the house in winter.

Почему происходит так много массовых убийств в США?

За последние несколько месяцев в очередной раз произошли ужасные массовые убийства в США. Один из них даже имел место в начальной школе, в которой много детей погибли.

Впоследствии СМИ и конгресс США начинают обсуждать контроль над оружием и доступ к ними. К сожалению, всегда случается этот порочный круг. После таких событий, их внезапно начинают заботить о этой проблеме. Они говорят, как нам нужно не позволять этому случиться опять. Однако достаточно большая часть население не хотят никакого изменения текущих законов, поэтому каждый раз обсуждения умирают через несколько неделей.

Я уверен, что эксперты и политологи уже скрупулезно изучал эту проблему. Я ничего не читал об этой теме, поэтому это только мои мнения, не считывая никаких исследования или фактов. Честно говоря, я лично не знаю ни одного человека, имеющего оружие. Но насколько я понимаю, у нас доступ к оружиями везде в Америке. Я недавно видел пост на Реддит, в которым  не позволили подростку покупать сигареты, алкоголь, и лотерейные билеты. А оружия? С удовольствием продавец показывал подростку все оружия, ничего не спрашивая об его возрасти или намерении.

Это тоже вопрос масштаба. В других странах, да, время от времени тоже случаются массовые стрельба, но более реже. Возможно, что на самом деле частота таких событий в США не так высоки в сравнении с другими странами с учетом численности населения. Нужно поверить количество стрельбы на душу населения, но я подозреваю, что это редко случается в других больших странах, таких как в Индии или в Китае.

Этот характеристик США кажется результатом много факторов. Во-первых, у Американцев простая доступа к оружиями. Во-вторых, численность населения большая. В-третих, наверное в США просто есть много людей, у кого какая-то психологическая проблема. Конечно в любой стране такие люди есть, но мне кажется, что это сочетание факторов способствует этими трагедиями -- кто хочет оружия в руках нестабильного человека?

按照一个朋友的建议我看过一部恐怖片叫做《咒》。它是一部台湾的电影,描述了一个年轻妈妈被下咒了。她当时也怀孕了,出生之后她为了保护她的女儿她不得不把小孩送走让别人收养她。这位妈妈为什么非得这样保护她的女儿呢?因为下了咒之后发生的一切不幸可不像小麻烦的不幸反而是要命的威胁。

后来发生了什么呢?这位妈妈和她的女儿平安活下去,还是被这个咒致命了?

希望我的描述让你感兴趣。😁

Sollen in Museen private Events stattfinden dürfen?

A: Heute diskutieren wir über das Thema ,,Sollen in Museen private Events stattfinden dürfen''. Was denken Sie daruber?

B: Ich denke dass es eine gute Idee ist, private Events in Museen zu veranstalten. Museen sind Orte der Kultur und deshalb fördern das allgemeine kulturelle Bewusstsein der Menschen. Außerdem, wird das Geld, die von diese privat Events gesammelt, für Wohltätigkeit genutz.

A: Ich bin im Gegenteil dagegen, ich denke diese private Events werden die Kunstgegenstände und Ausstellungsstücke in Gefahr bringen.

B: Ich denke, dass es keine Diebstahlsgefahr gibt weil Beobachtungskameras überall sind. Und auch muss der Eventsveranstalter eine Versicherung abschließen.

A: Aber die Beschädigungsgefahr gibt immer noch. Und egal wie viel Geld der Veranstalter bezahlt, wenn die wertvolle Gegenstände beschädigt sind, auch wenn sie repariert sind, sie werden nie wieder sein wie sie einmal waren.

B: Ja, Sie haben da einen Punkt. Zu minimalisierung diese Risiko, es wird besser wenn diese private Events nur am bestimmten Tagen stadtfinden dürfen.

A: Ja, das könnte eine Idee sein.

B: Die Diskussion war sehr interessant, aber leider sind wir verschiedener Meinung. Ich danke Ihnen für diese nette Unterhaltung.

A: Ich danke mich bei Ihnen auch.

La dieta de un vegetariano

Cuando yo era niño, decidí que yo dejara de comer la carne. Usualmente es un fase para niños y adolescentes, pero yo estaba seguro en esto. Desde entonces, más de 18 años después, todavía no como carne. A pesar de la dieta, no tenía ningún problema de salud como corredor en la secundaria y saque buenos resultados en carreras.

Es por la gracia de mis padres, que me permitieron vivir así y me compraron comida vegetariana, pero también por mi terquedad que he llevado tanto tiempo comiendo esta dieta. Por otro lado, a veces hay que revaluar la vida.

Hace dos años tenía vacaciones y unos amigos y yo decidimos hacer alpinismo en el estado de Montana. La pasamos bien, pero cuando regresé a casa y vi las fotos del viaje me di cuenta que me vi terrible. Estaba en forma en en cuanto al cardio, pero andaba encorvado por mi trabajo en la informática y tenía brazos flacos por que no levantaba pesas. Yo sabía que necesité llevar a cabo unos cambios.

En primer lugar, empecé a levantar pesas. Si no hiciera nada, yo tuviera este flaco cuerpo de un corredor adolescente para siempre. Quise que me ponga en forma: ni solo de corazón, pero también de músculos. Para apoyar eso, también hice un examen de mi dieta. Encontré que necesité más vitaminas, especialmente B12, beber más agua, y comer más proteína. Por una semana, pesé todo que comí al gramo.

The porridge from an axe. (part 1 of 2)

The old soldier went home to spent his vacation. He was tired of the walking and wanted to eat. He came to the village and knocked in the last house.
— Let the tired soldier rest!
The door was opened by the old woman.
— Come in, the soldier.
— Do you have anything to eat?
The old woman had enough food, but she didn't want to feed the soldier and she pretended to be an orphan.
— A kind man, I haven't eaten anything today.
— Ok, no means no.
Then he noticed an axe under a bench.
— Since there is nothing, then I can cook the porridge from an axe.
The hostess was surprised.
— How to cook the porridge from an axe?
— Give me a cauldron.
The old woman brought the cauldron, the soldier washed up the axe, put in the cauldron, poured water and put the cauldron on fire. The old woman watched to the soldier and didn't take her eyes off. The soldier took out a spoon, stirred his porridge and tried it.

政府宝くじ

タイでの政府宝くじ市場についての現況です。タイでは、通常、政府宝くじ(以下「宝くじ」と言います)を買いたい時に散見される宝くじの売り手に買えます。しかし、長年が経過しても解決されていない問題が一つあります、その売り手たちは政府に統制されている価格以上で売り、「取次との宝くじの取引価格はとっくに(政府に)統制される価格超えた」という理由をします。

現政府はこの問題に対しての対策に政府宝くじ局事務所に直接購入できる電子政府宝くじを発売し始めます。そのため、取次や売り手に利益を加算されなくて、国民が適正な値段で宝くじを買えるようになります。

一方で、電子政府宝くじの好評価に対し、その売り手たちの宝くじの売り上げがめっきり下降し、政府に「私たち(売り手たち)はただの国民です、利益を加算したり、統制される価格以上で売ったりするのは私たちの生存のためだけです。解決したかったら私たちじゃなくて、取次に何とかしてください」という陳情も多くなっていきます。

Krimiserien

Ich schaue gerne Krimiserien. Sie sind oft sehr interresant mit viele verschiedene Charakteren. Ich mag es, wenn die Geschichte fang mit einen Mord an, und Detektives später recherchieren. Es ist wie Miss Marple in einem der Agathe Cristies Bücher sagte, Punkt null ist eigentlich der Anfang für uns aber es ist die Ende für das Opfer. Oft es ist nicht der Mord was wird erzählt, es sind die führende Umstände, die uns interesieren. Es ist einfach gegenüber von Leben.

B: Excuse me, do you know any places to eat nearby?
A: Well, I don't live here, so I don't know. I'm sure there are many places. I'll check it out. What are you in the mood for?
B: What kind of restaurants, for example?
A: I just checked Italian restaurants, sushi, ramen, yakitori, and so on. I think you can find most of them. How much is your budget?
B: Well, about 2,000 yen.
A: I see. Then I'll show you a picture of the stores around here. Here they are. They may have mixed up some different ones.
B: Oh, nice!
A: Can you decide?
B: This place looks nice. Is this fried chicken?
A: This is "Karaage". It's like fried chicken.
B: What's the difference?
A: Well, I don't know, but I've heard that karaage is seasoned by marinating the meat in the sauce, while fried chicken is seasoned by the batter. Maybe.
B: I see.
A: So what do you want to do? Go for "Karaage"?
B: Yes! I'll eat it and see the difference.
A: Nice idea! I'll check the place now. Well, I'm sorry, this place isn't near here. But I'm sure they have everything else. Sorry

A: Hold on a sec, okay! There is!
Wait a minute. There's the place you chose, and there's other places too! Here.
B: Oh, nice. Well, do you guess what flavor is this?
A: Umm, miso, I think. And this one is probably Tonkotsu flavor, and this one is Tsukemen.
B: Tsukemen?
It consists of noodles which are dipped in a separate bowl of soup or broth, before being eaten. The dish is a very popular in Japan.
B: I see. Well, mmm...let me see. This place looks good. I'll go for here.
A: This place? This place is probably miso type. Is this okay?
B: Yes.
A: Ok, wait a minute, I'll show you the way, let me set the app road.
B: Oh, thanks!
A: No problem. Okay, let's go.
B: Isn't it right there?
A: Uh, no, it's not.
Here we are! This is it.
B: Thank you very much!
A: I bet you. Have a nice day!

A: Hey, what's wrong?
B: I might have dropped my wallet somewhere.
A: Okay. First, calm down and look in your pants, bag, and pockets again.
B: Okay.
Nothing.
A: What about your hip pocket or shirt pocket? Or the side pocket of your bag?
B: Nothing.
A: Then try to remember how far back you carried your wallet. If you can't remember, think about when you left home today.
B: Well, I had it until the train, so maybe I dropped it on the train.
A: Okay, I'll call the station clerk now and tell me what station you got on and what line you were on and to what destination. If you remember, please tell me the time.
B: Well, wait a minute, I got on at station D, and I don't know the rest of the names.
A: What station were you trying to get to?
B: Tokyo station.
A: About what time did you get on the train?
B: Around 2:00 p.m.
A: Wait a minute. So this is the way to go? (shows the app)
B: Ummm, no, it's not.
A: Then this one?
B: Oh, maybe this one. A: Okay.
A: Okay. I'll call the station, just wait a minute, and give me your phone number so that the station staff can call you on your cell phone if they find it.
B: Ok. 000.
A: Okay.
The station staff will look for it and call you on your cell phone if they find it. They may find it today, or someone may deliver it to the station later. I don't know when they will call, but if they do, please pick up the phone.
B: Okay. That was really helpful. Thank you very much.
A: You dropped your wallet, do you have any money?
B: I put some coins in my pocket, so I have some.
A: Will you be able to go home?
B: Yeah, I think so.
A: Take this just in case.
B: No, no, no, no, I can't take it, it's that much money.
A: Not that much money. A: It's not a lot of money, but it will get you some sightseeing, right? Since you came all the way to Japan, you can go sightseeing with this.
B: Oh my gosh. Are you sure?
A: Sure.
B: Thank you very much. I will definitely repay you someday. Please give me your phone number.
A: No, thanks. Well, if you find the wallet, donate some money somewhere. I'd like it to go for animals that are on the verge of being killed. Anyway, nice trip now! Take care!
B: Oh my god. I give you my deepest gratitude of thanks.Thank you very much.
A: I bet. Bye!

B: Excuse me. What did he say right now?
A: The announcement said there’s been a delay.
B: Why?
A: Probably there's been an accident causing injury or death.
B: Hit by a train?
A: Yeah. Maybe not, but in Japan, when I say an accident by train, it is usually a suicide.

A: Well, oh, There seems to be a lot of them arond here.
B: Ohh, great.
A: But I think there are some stores where you have to register as a member, and I think you have to enter the name of the prefecture in Japan, so I don't think foreigners can use free Wi-Fi in those stores. So, please let me check if those stores don't require membership registration.
B: Sure. Thanks.
A: Maybe this place could do it without the need to register, but I don't think it's a relaxing place. I think Starbucks would be relaxing, but it's a bit far. Which would you prefer?
B: How far away is the other store, not that Starbucks?
A: Just a sec. Well, It's about 10 minutes from here.
B: How about Starbucks?
A: Well, 20minutes or so.
B: What kind of shop is that?
A: Well, it's hard to explain, but there is a store called Don Quixote that sells all kinds of things. I don't know, I've never been to the store there, but usually there are snacks, cosmetics, something of an apparel section, toys, and things like that. You might wanna try it at least once.
B: Okay. Then I'll go there. Can you tell me how to get there?
A: Sure, but I can take you if you want, using the app.
B: Oh, that would be helpful.
A: it's nothing. Then let's go.
B: Okay.

A & B Talk60

I want to speak English naturally, not like from a textbook! 🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️
I want to speak like a native!! Seriously!!🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️🔥🔥

Could you please help me by correcting anything that's wrong or sounds unnatural in my sentences?
It's alright if you change an entire sentence!!! Or you can change whatever you want!
I'd like to learn some common phrases and slang! 🙏
Also, I'd like to get your advice on how to talk to foreigners.
I'm looking forward to your constructive criticism.✍️

B: Excuse me, do you know is there free wi-fi around here?
A: Uh, sorry, I don't know. I don't usually use free wi-fi. I can look it up if you want.
B: If you can, I'd appreciate it!
A: I think there is an app for that...Oh, okay. There is.
B: Oh, nice.
A: Let's see, do you wanna go to the closest one? Or do you have a particular place you wanna go?
B: The closest one.
A: Then maybe I guess a convenience store and McDonald's and things like that, but there seems to be a lot of them from here.
B: Where's this convenience store?
A: It's close by, so I'll take you there if you like.
B: Oh, thank you very much!
A: No problem.


ーー5 minutes later
A: This is it.
B: Oh, okay. By the way, do you know the password?
A: Oh, true. Let me look it up.
B: Thanks.
A: Well, oh, sorry. It seems you have to download this store's app and register as a member. From what I just browsed, it looks like you have to do something similar for other convenience stores, McDonald's and things like that. If you like, I'll find a place where you don't have to register.
B: No worries. I'm registering now. Is that app the name of this store?
A: I guess so.
B: Is this it?
A: Yeah, I think so.
B: Okay. Wait a minute.
A: Sure.
B: What does this say?
A: Oh, you have to enter your address and all that. If you like I look for another store? I checked just a moment ago, and it seems that some stores allow you to register as a member just by entering your e-mail address.
B: No problem, it's no biggie. What does this say?
A: Oh, no, you can't. You have to type in the name of the prefecture for this one. So if you have an overseas address, you can't register.
B: Oh my gosh. Then Is that place you mentioned just now close by? Where you can register with just an email address.
A: I think it's close. But if you go there and can't do it, that's too bad, so why don't you try to see if you can register here?
B: Let’s go with that. So what store app should I download?
A: Oh, wait a minute, oh, it says you have to go to that store, let's go there once.
B: Okay.
