みなさんこんにちは! 前回のエピソードではブリュッセルの好きなところをお話ししたので今回はブリュッセルの嫌いなところをお話しします。
一つ目は、治安があまりよくないところです。ブリュッセルではスリや盗難がたまにあります。特に観光地や電車の中では、持ち物に気をつけなければいけません。
二つ目は、物価が高いところです。特にレストランや外食は、日本と比べるととても高く感じます。そのため、外食は特別な日にだけにすることが多いです。
三つ目は、天気が悪いところです。ブリュッセルではくもりや雨の日が多く、冬は日が短いので、少し悲しい気持ちになることもあります。でも、そんなときはおいしいケーキや温かい飲み物で元気を出すようにしています。
こんなふうに、ブリュッセルには好きなところも嫌いなところもありますが、どちらも含めて楽しく暮らしています。みなさんも、もしブリュッセルに来ることがあったら、ぜひ私の好きなところを体験してみてくださいね。
それでは、また次のエピソードでお会いしましょう！

You know what question tags are, don't you?

The Jerome Meadows Experience

Question Tags (how to ask questions without sounding like a bad friend)

If you see someone sitting alone in a restaurant, you might assume they're waiting for someone, or perhaps they're grabbing a quick lunch on their break.

But more and more people around the world are purposely dining alone.

Japan has a special word for this: ohitorisama, which refers to people confidently doing things alone without worrying about what others think.

A recent survey found that 23% of Japanese people eat out alone, up from 18% in 2018. And in the US, solo dining reservations have risen 29% over the last two years, according to restaurant reservation site OpenTable.

OpenTable CEO Debby Soo thinks remote work is one reason for the increase, with people looking for a break from their home offices.

The increasing popularity in solo dining comes as more people are living alone. In 2019, the Pew Research Center found that 38% of US adults ages 25 to 54 were living without a partner, up from 29% in 1990. In Japan, single households now make up one-third of the total; that’s expected to increase to 40% by 2040, according to government data.

Growing interest in solo travel — particularly among travelers ages 55 and over — is also leading to more meals alone.

But Soo thinks there could be more to it than that.

"I think there's a broader movement of self-love and self-care and really … enjoying your own company," Soo said.

As a result, many restaurants are redoing their seating, changing their menus and adding other special touches to appeal to solo diners.

But some aren't always happy to seat one diner. A Michelin-starred London restaurant caused a stir last year when it started charging solo diners the same price as two customers. The restaurant, which has 34 seats, offers an eight-course menu costing about $280 per person.

Other restaurants say it's worth seating one person because solo diners will often come back and eat there again.
