Halloween is a fun and spooky holiday that people celebrate on October 31st each year. But do you know where it comes from, and why we wear scary costumes? Let's explore the history of Halloween and costumes!
Halloween started a very long time ago, around 2,000 years ago. It began with an ancient Celtic festival called "Samhain" (pronounced sah-win). The Celts lived in what is now Ireland, the United Kingdom, and France. Samhain was a special time when they celebrated the end of summer and the beginning of winter.
The Celts believed that on the night of October 31st, the boundary between the living and the dead was very thin. They thought that the spirits of the dead could come back to Earth on this night. Some people were afraid of these ghosts, so they dressed up in costumes to hide from them. They also lit bonfires to scare the ghosts away.
In the 8th century, the Christian church started a holiday called "All Saints' Day" on November 1st. It was a day to remember and honor all the saints. The night before, on October 31st, became known as "All Hallows' Eve," which later turned into "Halloween."
Over time, Halloween came to America with immigrants from different countries. People brought their own customs and traditions, and Halloween became a mix of all these traditions. One of these traditions was dressing up in costumes, which became a big part of Halloween.
Today, Halloween is a day for fun and creativity. People of all ages wear costumes, but the costumes are not just scary. You can be anything you want – a superhero, a princess, a witch, or even a funny animal. People also go trick-or-treating, where kids dress up in costumes and go door to door asking for sweets.
So, when you see people in scary costumes on Halloween, remember that it all began with the Celts who wanted to protect themselves from ghosts. Now, Halloween is a time for everyone to enjoy dressing up and having a spooky good time.

Hai semua, jumpa lagi di podcast saya! Di mana jodohmu?

Sebelum kita bahas lebih dalam tentang topik kali ini, saya mau bertanya dulu ke kalian, "apa kamu sudah menemukan jodohmu?" Mungkin kalian pikir, "menemukan jodoh" adalah menemukan pacar atau pasangan hidup, suami atau istri. Tapi sebetulnya arti "jodoh" lebih dari itu. 

Berkat guru Bahasa Jepang saya, saya bisa paham arti "jodoh" adalah ご縁 (goen). Di Bahasa Inggris, saya rasa "jodoh" punya arti banyak, bisa berarti "connection, fate, bond", tergantung konteks. 

Coba bayangkan, dari 8 miliar / 8 billion/ 80億 penduduk dunia, kamu bisa bertemu dengan teman yang betul-betul mendukungmu, yang selalu ada di sisimu, itu artinya dia adalah jodohmu dalam pertemanan. 

Atau ketika kamu sangat lelah mencari pekerjaan, dan akhirnya bisa mendapat pekerjaan yang membuatmu merasa bahagia dan berkembang, artinya kamu berjodoh dengan pekerjaan itu!

Jodoh juga bisa dengan dokter. Dokter yang benar-benar peduli dengan kesehatanmu, dan selalu buat kamu merasa aman. Dia adalah jodohmu di dunia kesehatan. 

Dari pengalaman saya, saya menemukan jodoh dengan guru bahasa saya, ketika saya merasa pertemuan dengannya tidak hanya mengajar dan belajar, tapi saya merasa nyaman, saling mendukung dan saling memberi inspirasi. 

O ya, kalian yang mendengarkan podcast saya ini artinya kita juga berjodoh, loh! 
そうそう、私のポッドキャストを皆さんが聞いてくれていることも、一つのご縁だと思います。
"It is a fate that we are connected by this podcast." 

Sampai jumpa di episode berikutnya!
