Parque Delta es considerado uno de los inmuebles con mayor actividad paranormal en la ciudad, los cuales son reportados por sus visitantes, quienes escuchan ruidos extraños o ven personas que posteriormente se desvanecen en el aire como si nunca hubiesen estado ahí.

La sobria historia de Parque Delta comienza entre los años 1925 y 1936, cuando todavía no era un centro comercial sino un estadio de béisbol. El 15 de junio de 1952 mientras se jugaba el tercer juego de la serie entre diablos rojos de México y rojos de águila Veracruz, se derrumbó parte de la gradería, dejando decenas de personas heridas y 2 muertos.

En 1955, el IMSS adquirió este terreno para construir el parque del seguro social, un estadio que fue la casa de los diablos rojos de México y los tigres capitalinos hasta su cierre en el año 2000. Durante esta etapa, ocurrió uno de los eventos más trágicos en la historia de México, el terremoto de 1985, con una escala de 8.1 grados.

Ese desastre natural costó la vida a muchas personas debido a los cientos de edificios, hoteles, y viviendas, entre otras edificaciones que colapsaron en la Ciudad de México. Entre las edificaciones que colapsaron en esa ocasión se encuentran hospitales como el centro médico Nacional, el cual estaba muy cerca de parque delta.

Ante la necesidad de un lugar para resguardar los cientos de cuerpos de personas fallecidas, y la falta de morgues y hospitales para ello, el lugar fue acondicionado para convertirse en una morgue, por lo que durante el desastre, Parque Delta recibió los cuerpos de cientos de personas fallecidas bajo los escombros de los edificios derrumbados.

Principalmente, Parque Delta se resguardo los cuerpos de personas no reconocidas, entre quienes no tenían familia o que sencillamente no eran localizados entre el caos. Los cuerpos eran conservados con uso de hielo, formol y sal para retrasar la descomposición.

Durante este terrible desastre natural, Parque Delta se convirtió en la morgue más grande del...

EL ESTADO DE HIDALGO.

In this episode, I share a funny experience I had while shopping at a Japanese supermarket in Indonesia. What I first thought was simply a group of customers carefully choosing their dinner turned out to be something completely different.

This story is not only about shopping. It is also about cultural differences, good habits, and the meaning of the proverb "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." Is following local customs always the best choice? Or are there times when we should keep the good habits we already have?

The episode is spoken in natural Japanese at a comfortable pace for learners. I hope you enjoy the story, and I'd love to hear whether your language or culture has a similar saying.

今回のエピソードでは、インドネシアで日本人向けのスーパーに買い物へ行ったときの、ちょっと恥ずかしくて面白い体験をお話しします。

最初は「日本人は本当に慎重だなあ」と思っていた出来事が、実はまったく違う意味だったことに後で気づきました。

この話は、買い物の話だけではありません。
「郷に入れば郷に従え」ということわざや、文化の違い、そして良い習慣についても考えてみたいと思います。

皆さんの国にも、似たようなことわざがありますか。
ぜひコメントで教えてください。

If you see someone sitting alone in a restaurant, you might assume they're waiting for someone, or perhaps they're grabbing a quick lunch on their break.

But more and more people around the world are purposely dining alone.

Japan has a special word for this: ohitorisama, which refers to people confidently doing things alone without worrying about what others think.

A recent survey found that 23% of Japanese people eat out alone, up from 18% in 2018. And in the US, solo dining reservations have risen 29% over the last two years, according to restaurant reservation site OpenTable.

OpenTable CEO Debby Soo thinks remote work is one reason for the increase, with people looking for a break from their home offices.

The increasing popularity in solo dining comes as more people are living alone. In 2019, the Pew Research Center found that 38% of US adults ages 25 to 54 were living without a partner, up from 29% in 1990. In Japan, single households now make up one-third of the total; that’s expected to increase to 40% by 2040, according to government data.

Growing interest in solo travel — particularly among travelers ages 55 and over — is also leading to more meals alone.

But Soo thinks there could be more to it than that.

"I think there's a broader movement of self-love and self-care and really … enjoying your own company," Soo said.

As a result, many restaurants are redoing their seating, changing their menus and adding other special touches to appeal to solo diners.

But some aren't always happy to seat one diner. A Michelin-starred London restaurant caused a stir last year when it started charging solo diners the same price as two customers. The restaurant, which has 34 seats, offers an eight-course menu costing about $280 per person.

Other restaurants say it's worth seating one person because solo diners will often come back and eat there again.
