From the Bottom of my Heart
Yesterday it was a very sad day for me. I knew something unusual must be happening to my long-standing language partner. She wasn’t just my language partner. Over the years we have been in contact, we had become very close friends. We usually spoke twice a week. However, throughout the last few weeks, that frequency had shrunk to such an extent that we just exchanged a few text messages once a week. Yesterday, I sent her the simplest of the messages: “Hi Patti, how are you?” We were exchanging messages for a short time; nothing out of the ordinary. At one point, I asked her if she would like to speak to me later. She told me that wouldn’t be possible and that there was something she needed to tell me. I feared the worst and the worst was what she told me: “I think that our friendship has fizzled out” When I asked her what the matter was, her reply was: “I guess all friendships aren’t meant to last, we’ve had six great years”.
I had been attending a language school for a few months and wanted to put into practise the things I had learned there. To achieve that, I had to meet people, the so-called language partners, willing to practise with me. That way, I met Patti on one of those websites for language learners who are looking for language partners. She was an English woman learning Spanish and I was a Spanish man learning English. Our beginning wasn’t very straightforward. Not only was it the first time I spoke with a foreign person, but it was also the first time I spoke in English. Not to mention, I had never met anyone on the internet. I’d like to add that, though I’m not a child, I’m an extremely shy person. At first, we just exchanged text messages. After a few months, we went from exchanging messages to voice calls. Finally, my for-then-already friend sent me a video message as a present on my birthday. It was one of the best presents I have ever received. From then until a few weeks ago, we spoke once, twice and even three times a week. Throughout these six years of friendship, we have spoken about everything. I know everything, or almost everything, about her and she knows almost everything about me. We have laughed together. We have cried together. We have shared our thoughts, our joys, and our sorrows.
Our friendship is over. According to her words, it wasn’t meant to last. Thanks Patti for let me know you. Thanks for teaching me so many things. Thanks for making me an improved version of my old self. You have made me see things from a completely different perspective. Not only were you the first foreign person I spoke to, but you were also the first black person I ever met. We had nothing in common and even so, our friendship lasted almost a lifetime.

Le rêve californien
En juin, j’ai passé deux semaines en Californie, un état que je n'avais jamais visitée avant. J’y suis allée principalement pour fêter le mariage d’une de mes très proches amies, mais j’ai profité aussi d’un petit séjour chez un autre ami. De nombreuses années s’étaient écoulées depuis qu'on a été toutes ensemble, et je me sentais nerveuse avant mon départ. J’imaginais qu’on n’aurait rien à se dire et qu’on se traiterait comme des étrangers. Heureusement, dès que je suis arrivée, toutes mes angoisses ont disparu. Nous nous rapprochons très rapidement encore, en échangeant des histoires drôles de ces dernières années.
Leur vie en Californie est complètement différente de la mienne en Ecosse. Le premier jour, ils m’ont amené à un dispensaire de marijuana. La marijuana est légale en Californie depuis 2016. On peut voir plein de nouvelles entreprises dans ce secteur, qui se rivaliser pour créer de nouveaux produits. C'était incroyable - il y avait des consommables pour chaque occasion, chaque envie, et chaque humeur. C’était comme un supermarché où on peut acheter des choses qui répondront exactement aux besoins.
L’autre chose qui me frappait sur le mode de vie en Californie, c’est le fait que tout le monde a une dépendance totale sur leurs voitures. Même pour faire des courses ou rendre visite à un copain, il faut qu’on prenne une voiture. La ville n’est pas faite pour les piétons. Il y a un manque de trottoir, et le peu qui existe souvent se termine sans prévenir.
Certes, il y a plein de choses très spécial sur la vie en Californie, comme le temps agréable, et la diversité de plantes et de cuisines, mais je crains que je sois mal adaptée à ce mode de vie, car je n’ai ni une voiture ni un permis !
Le mariage de mes amis a eu lieu dans une forêt de séquoias. C’était brumeux et il faisait froid. J’avoue que j’avais l’impression qu’on participait à un rituel entre des sorcières. J’ai eu des frissons pendant la cérémonie. C’était la magie de l'amour, on pourrait dire !

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.

Ich habe ihr E-Mail gern gelesen und schreibe Ihnen diese Antwort.

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.

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?

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

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?

A: Ok, wait a minute, I'll show you the way, let me set the app road.

A: No problem. Okay, let's go.
B: Isn't it right there?

Here we are! This is it.

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: 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?

B: Oh my gosh. Okay. Thanks.
A: No problem.
