25 de octubre

Confest är Australiens största alternativa livsstilsfestival, jag var där över påskdagarna och pratar om det. Min mest transformativa workshop var breathwork och mina olika upplevelser av festivalen. Jag rekommenderar alla att åka dit om de är i Australien och vill uppleva Australien från den mest välkomnande och ögonöppnande sidan. Confest hålls varje påsk.

Tankar På Svenska : Confest 2024

Anyone visiting Paris for this summer's Olympic Games may have to pay a little more than usual for hotels, trains and food and drink.

But here's one thing that won't cost them anything: a ride in a flying taxi.

That's right: it might sound like the most expensive way to get around, but it has been announced that visitors will be able to take new electric-powered flying taxis without paying.

They're called flying taxis, but if you're hoping for a car with wings you might be disappointed! They look like small helicopters, but with a "loop" on top with 18 small rotors instead of one large set of blades.

In Paris, they can land on a special "vertiport" — a place for vertical takeoff and landing — on the River Seine.

Made by a German company called Volocopter, the taxis can take one person at a time from the Seine, close to Austerlitz train station, to four places around Paris, including two airports.

The trips are free because the flights are being called "demonstrations" — since the taxis have not yet been certified by the European Union's Aviation Safety Agency.

There is also a limit of two flights per hour between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m, and a limit of 900 flights over the whole year.

This has been called a "trial period" for the taxis, but some people in Paris are unhappy that they're coming at all.

They're worried about the taxis' environmental impact, and the noise they might make.

Volocopter says its taxis are much quieter than normal helicopters, as well as being very safe and better for the planet. In future, the company hopes to make larger taxis that could also be used as flying ambulances.

혼밥 문화의 확산

예전에는 식당에서 혼자 밥을 먹는 것이 어색하게 느껴졌습니다. 다른 사람들의 시선을 신경 써야 했고, 혼자 식사하는 사람은 외롭거나 친구가 없는 사람처럼 보일 수 있었습니다. 하지만 최근 몇 년 사이, ‘혼밥’이라는 말이 생길 정도로 혼자 식사하는 문화가 빠르게 확산되고 있습니다.

혼밥 문화는 특히 1인 가구의 증가와 관련이 있습니다. 예전에는 대부분 가족과 함께 살았기 때문에 자연스럽게 식사도 같이 했습니다. 그러나 지금은 많은 사람들이 혼자 사는 생활을 선택하거나, 직장이나 학업 때문에 가족과 떨어져 지내는 경우가 많아졌습니다. 이로 인해 혼자 식사를 해야 하는 상황이 많아졌고, 사람들도 혼밥을 점점 자연스럽게 받아들이게 되었습니다.

이런 변화에 따라 식당들도 달라지고 있습니다. 1인용 테이블을 마련한 식당이 늘어나고 있으며, 혼자 와도 불편하지 않도록 자리 배치를 바꾸는 곳도 있습니다. 어떤 식당은 칸막이가 있는 자리나 혼밥 손님을 위한 메뉴를 따로 준비하기도 합니다.

혼밥의 장점도 있습니다. 혼자 먹으면 자신이 먹고 싶은 음식과 시간을 자유롭게 선택할 수 있어 편리합니다. 다른 사람과의 대화 없이 조용히 식사할 수 있다는 점도 혼밥을 선호하는 이유 중 하나입니다. 반면, 어떤 사람들은 혼자 먹는 것이 아직 익숙하지 않다고 말하기도 합니다. 그래서 혼밥이 편한 사람도 있고, 불편하게 느끼는 사람도 있습니다.

혼밥은 단순한 식사 방식이 아니라, 현대 사회의 생활 방식과 가치관의 변화를 보여주는 하나의 문화입니다. 앞으로도 혼밥을 즐기는 사람들이 더 많아질 것으로 보이며, 이에 따라 사회의 인식도 계속 바뀔 것입니다.

Today I'm talking about a phrasal verb that you can use to say that you've lost interest or enthusiasm for something. A phrasal verb that means that you're discouraged from doing something. This is the phrasal verb to "put off", which we can also use as an adjective, "off putting". I hope you find this useful!
