We use borrow and lend when people share objects or possessions. 

We use borrow to explain we don’t own the object. 
For example: I am borrowing a dress from my sister.
We use lend to explain that the object belongs to you, but someone is using it.
For example: I am lending my dress to my sister.

El Barrio Chino de Ciudad de México es un pequeño barrio dentro de San Juan Moyotlan, a su vez un barrio del Centro Histórico. Algunas de sus calles son el escenario de las celebraciones del Año Nuevo Chino. Pero durante todo el año se puede sentir la esencia y el sabor de China, su gente y sus tradiciones.

El pueblo chino tiene una larga historia de inmigración a México. Algunos vinieron con el famoso comercio del Galeón de Manila, que conectó Acapulco con las Islas Filipinas durante unos 250 años. Posteriormente se dieron importantes oleadas de inmigración china que trajeron trabajadores y mano de obra tanto de Estados Unidos como de la China continental.

Parte de la población china de Ciudad de México llegó como resultado de los disturbios en los estados del norte, como Sonora y Sinaloa, donde se les había permitido vivir y trabajar. En la década de 1930, las calles de Dolores y Luis Moya, en el centro de la ciudad, estaban repletas de lavanderías atendidas por familias chinas a las que, debido al racismo, no se les permitía mezclarse con los locales.

Sin embargo, los chinos prosperaron regentando “cafés chinos”, todavía conocidos por su “café con leche”, galletas de la suerte y bollos choux. Todavía hoy podemos verlos casi en cualquier lugar de la ciudad, pero la mayoría de estos cafés no son atendidos por personal de ascendencia china en la actualidad.

El café con leche chino, tradicionalmente se sirve sin intercambiar muchas palabras. Se vierte de una jarra de aluminio a un vaso octogonal, a menudo desde una altura considerable. El camarero espera a que el cliente indique cuánto café desea y el resto del vaso se llena con leche entera caliente. Todo el proceso es como un ritual.

＃34 仙台・青葉まつりに行った話

There is an old theory that eating cheese before bed causes bad dreams, although scientists don't have much evidence to prove it.

But if cheese can't make us dream, new research from the US says that perhaps an app could — and they don't have to be bad dreams!

Researchers experimented with an app that they designed to encourage people to have lucid dreams. These are dreams that feel vivid and real.

During lucid dreams, people know that they're dreaming and may even be able to control what happens in the dream.

Not everyone has lucid dreams. It's thought that about half of us will have them during our lives, but some people may have them regularly.

Lucid dreams may be useful for us: experts think they could encourage creativity and problem-solving, or help us with nightmares.

The app in the study used a method called "targeted lucidity reactivation" that is supposed to make people more likely to experience lucid dreams.

This is usually done in a laboratory, but the researchers wanted to see how effective an app used at home could be.

They did two experiments to see if the app could increase the frequency of participants' lucid dreams.

The first experiment included 19 participants. Before going to sleep, they did a 20-minute activity that encouraged them to enter a "lucid mindset" when they heard certain sounds.

These same sounds were then played during the night. The frequency of the participants' lucid dreams more than doubled during the week of the experiment.

Fifty people completed the second experiment. They were put into three groups, with one group using the targeted lucidity reactivation method.

The people in this group reported that they had experienced more lucid dreams during the week of the experiment than those in the two control groups.

The researchers said these results suggest that apps like this could help people to use sleep for "personal benefits" including "spiritual and personal growth."
