みんな元気？
昨日のエピソード聞いてくれた人いるかな？
多分残念なことに聞いてない人がほとんどだと思うんだけど、昨日のエピソードでは大晦日について話したんだよね。で、今日はねぇ元旦について話したいと思うんだけど、元旦とはなんなんだい？ってやっぱり思ってる人がいると思うから説明しますね。
昨日のエピソードの大晦日は12月31日の年の最後の日だったでしょ？んで、元旦ってのはねぇ、反対で1月1日の年の始まりのことなんだよね。
で、元旦から1月8日までの期間を日本ではお正月って言うんだけどね、それについてはまた違うエピソードで話そっかな。
ちなみに元旦にはねぇ、日本人は大体家族とか親戚と集まって『おせち』って言う日本の伝統的な料理を食べたり、『初詣』のために神社に行ったりする人も多くて、基本的には家族と集まる人が多いかな。
んで、今日はその元旦について皆は何をしますかって言うエピソードなんだけど、どうだった？
みんなの元旦は楽しかった？それとも、つまらなかった？
俺はねぇ、今年の元旦はいつもよりかなり落ち着いてて正直普通の人あんまり変わらなかったな。
っていうのも、前までは友達と一緒に初日の出を見に行こうって言うので、毎朝6時位に友達と一緒に集まってお決まりのスポットに行って初日の出ってその年の1番最初の日の出を見るって言うのを友達とやってたんだけどね。俺は2年前にスウェーデンに日本から旅立ってるから今回日本にそのビザの問題で帰って来なきゃいけなくなったんだけど、その2年間はスウェーデンに住んでたから、友達と初日の出に行けなかったんだよね。で今回久しぶりに2年ぶりにお友達と初日の出楽しみだなぁって思ってたんだけどでも俺も友達もコロナウィルスが心配だから、今年は残念だけど集まるのはやめよっかって言って、あのもうそれぞれね、個人で初日の出を見ながらビデオ通話をして初日の出を、まるで一緒に見ているかのような、数年前までと同じような雰囲気を楽しむって言うことをしてたね。
だから、正直何か物足りなかったなとは思うけど、まぁ1人で見ても初日の出はやっぱりなにか気持ちよかったなぁ。
初日の出を見た後は、仕事はなかったから結構ゆったりしてたんだけど、普通に筋トレしていつも通りの日々を過ごしてたからあんまり何か特別な日って言う感じもしなかったなぁ。
こんな感じだね。みんなのさぁ初詣はどうだった？楽しかったかな？それともそうでもなかったかな？どちらにしてもあのTeppeiにぜひ教えてね。コメント待ってます。じゃあ今日も聞いてくれてありがとうございました。また次のエピソードでお会いしましょう。じゃあまたね。バイバイ。

In many parts of the world, summer has kicked in, and people are really feeling the heat.

But people in one city in the Middle East may have more reason to complain about the heat than anywhere else in the world.

This place is so hot that birds fall from the sky, some streets are air-conditioned, and, allegedly, fish boil in the sea.

This is Kuwait City, the capital of Kuwait, often called the hottest city in the world.

Temperatures often get as hot as 50 degrees Celsius in the summer — and sometimes even higher. In July 2016, the temperature reached 54 degrees Celsius in the north, which is the highest temperature Kuwait has experienced.

People are rarely seen walking outside in the summer, and many residents leave the city while it's this hot.

Kuwait has always been hot, but climate change has made the summers hotter and longer.

According to the Emirates Policy Center, between 1962 and 1999 there were 18 days when the temperature in Kuwait was 50 degrees Celsius or higher. Between 2000 and 2021, the number of days was 80 — and 64 of those were between 2010 and 2021.

The country is also getting less rain than before. As a result, it's experiencing more frequent and intense dust storms.

Living in these high temperatures is not good for humans. A study by the University of Roehampton in London found that the human body has an upper temperature limit of between 40 degrees and 50 degrees before it starts to malfunction.

At higher temperatures, a person may start to experience "heat stress," which can cause things like confusion, nausea, dizziness and fainting — and can be fatal.

Some may say that Kuwait is contributing to its own problems, since it's one of the world's largest emitters per capita of carbon dioxide, and uses only fossil fuels for energy.

But things may be changing. According to the International Energy Agency, the country plans to generate at least 15% of its energy from renewable sources by 2030.

Life at 50 Degrees: Kuwait City May Be World's Hottest City

En el episodio de hoy hablo del cuñado, pero no de manera literal, es decir no voy a hablar de la pareja de tu hermana. Voy a hablar de “el cuñao” como personaje de la cultura española. Te voy a hablar de sus características y voy a compartir algunas frases típicas de este tipo de personas.
Como siempre espero que disfrutes el episodio, si lo haces no te olvides de dejar una valoración y de pasarte por mi Instagram para decirme qué te ha parecido el episodio y si e tu país también existen “los cuñaos” y cómo los llamáis.
