🎧 What’s Going On at Starbucks Korea?
What happens when your name is the same as a presidential candidate’s?
In Korea, it might get banned—at least at Starbucks.
This episode looks at why the company blocked certain names during election season,
how Korean society navigates political neutrality,
and what it means when people start choosing clothes and hand gestures more carefully—just to avoid misunderstanding.

📝 한국 스벅에 무슨 일이?
대통령 후보 이름을 컵에 적을 수 없게 된 스타벅스.
이 조치는 단순한 이벤트가 아니라,
선거철 한국 사회의 조심스러운 표현 문화를 보여주는 사례입니다.
이름, 옷 색깔, 손가락 모양까지도 오해를 피하기 위해 신경 써야 하는 현실.
표현은 자유롭지만, 때로는 침묵이 선택이 되는 한국식 중립.
잼잼팟에서 풀어드립니다.

The Step Pyramid of Djoser Part 2. 

D

When finally completed, the Step Pyramid rose 62 meters high and was the tallest structure of its time. The complex in which it was built was the size of a city in ancient Egypt and included a temple, courtyards, shrines, and living quarters for the priests. It covered a region of 16 hectares and was surrounded by a wall 10.5 meters high. The wall had 13 false doors cut into it with only one true entrance cut into the south-east corner; the entire wall was then ringed by a trench 750 meters long and 40 meters wide. The false doors and the trench were incorporated into the complex to discourage unwanted visitors. If someone wished to enter, he or she would have needed to know in advance how to find the location of the true opening in the wall. Djoser was so proud of his accomplishment that he broke the tradition of having only his own name on the monument and had Imhotep’s name carved on it as well.

E

The burial chamber of the tomb, where the king’s body was laid to rest, was dug beneath the base of the pyramid, surrounded by a vast maze of long tunnels that had rooms off them to discourage robbers. One of the most mysterious discoveries found inside the pyramid was a large number of stone vessels. Over 40,000 of these vessels, of various forms and shapes, were discovered in storerooms off the pyramid’s underground passages. They are inscribed with the names of rulers from the First and Second Dynasties of Egypt and made from different kinds of stone.

Всем привет! Оставлю тут мои заметки с 14 сентября. 
Надеюсь, вам  понравится этот выпуск. Постарайтесь слушать до тех пор, пока не поймёте весь текст. И помните, самое главное-понимать смысл, а не слова по отдельности. Всем хорошего дня, хороших выходных и хорошего настроения! 

Сегодня я встала очень рано, в 4 часа утра. 
Я не могу поверить, что я встала так рано! 
У меня были уроки. Мне очень нравится моя работа, так как я знакомлюсь с разными людьми со всего мира. Я узнаю много нового. 
Я работала 4 часа утром, потом у меня был перерыв и я решила приготовить себе завтрак. Обычно, я никогда не завтракаю. Но вчера я купила вкусные булочки и сегодня я решила подогреть их в духовке и сделать бутерброд. Ещё я приготовила себе вкусный кофе с молоком, хотя мне нельзя пить кофе. У меня плохое зрение и говорят, что людям с плохим зрением лучше не употреблять много кофеина. Но я думаю, что одна чашечка кофе не навредит мне. Ещё я хотела пойти в спортзал, так как совсем недавно оформила себе подписку, но ходила туда только 3 раза, так как у меня очень много дел. Я постараюсь пойти в спортзал сегодня вечером. Сейчас я продолжу работать и потом постараюсь приготовить обед. Пока что это всё.
