Episódio 02 - Como foi trabalhar no Censo

I am talking about my favorite Nepali food. Which is Momo & Dal Bhat.

Let's talk Nepali 

My Favourite Nepali Food | मलाई मन पर्ने नेपाली खाना

Have you ever been so confused you didn't know what to do or say? If so, you might find these words helpful.

If you're shocked by something, you can say you are "flabbergasted." No one knows where this word comes from, but it might come from "aghast," which means "horrified."

So if you got home and found that everything you own had been stolen, you might say, "I'm flabbergasted that they were able to steal everything without being seen!"

If something is very complicated and confusing, you can say you are "bewildered." This word probably comes from "to wilder," an old word that means "to make someone become lost."

So if the police were not able to find out anything about what happened, they might say, "We're bewildered — we have no idea who took your things."

Another word that could be used is "flummoxed," which also means "confused." People don't know for sure, but it may have come from "flummock," an old word that meant "to make untidy or confuse."

So you could say to the police, "I'm just as flummoxed as you are — I can't understand how they could have stolen everything."

If something is difficult to understand, you can say it's "perplexing," or makes you feel "perplexed." So the police might say, "I'm sorry, but we might not be able to find your things. This is a very perplexing case!"

EP 10. NO DIGAS ESTAS PALABRAS 

お散歩

私は旦那（だんな）と隅田川（すみだがわ）沿い（ぞ　い）をよく散歩をする。だいたいいつも浅草（あさくさ）方面へ向かって歩く。川沿いは風が心地（ここち）よく、人もそれほど多くないので歩きやすい。昼間（ひるま）に歩くのも良いが、夕食後に歩くのも風情（ふぜい）がある。夜の川沿いは屋形船（やかたぶね）の提灯（ちょうちん）や橋の照明、街の明かり、東京スカイツリーのライトアップなどがとても綺麗（きれい）に見える。私のおすすめ散歩コースだ。
