Have you ever wondered why Japan has two different names, "Nihon" and "Nippon"? 🇯🇵 

While both are correct, native speakers choose one over the other based on the "feeling" of the situation.

Hai, teman-teman! 
Apa kabar? saya harap semua sehat ya.
Akhir-akhir ini, saya merasa bosan dengan rutinitas setiap hari. Jadi, kemarin saya ganti suasana, dan coba membuat kue pakai resep baru! Saya tidak jago membuat kue, dan hasilnya…. setidaknya saya bisa makan kue buatan saya sendiri. ^^ 

"Ganti suasana", di Bahasa Jepang adalah 気分転換に, dan di Bahasa Inggris adalah "for a change". Ketika seseorang berkata "saya mau ganti suasana," ini artinya dia ingin meninggalkan situasi atau suasana yang membosankan ke suasana berbeda. Ini juga bisa berarti, mengubah suasana hati dari sedih menjadi ceria, dari tegang menjadi rileks. 

Saya pernah membaca cara-cara untuk ganti suasana yaitu mendengarkan musik yang berbeda dari biasanya, potong rambut dengan gaya baru, jogging dengan rute baru, atau juga membersihkan kamar yang sudah beberapa bulan tidak dibersihkan, seperti kamar saya, haha.. 

Jadi sesekali, ayo kita ganti suasana dan warnai hidup kita! 
Sampai jumpa lagi! ^^

El lunfardo es un conjunto de expresiones usadas en la zona del Río de la Plata, que al emplearse en el habla cotidiana suenan bastante informales. Se comenzó a utilizar en Buenos Aires en el siglo XX y ha tomado palabras de muchas otras lenguas debido a varias inmigraciones europeas. 

Muchos me preguntan cómo es hablar en lunfardo. Y bueno, este argot suena más o menos así: 

En el LABURO no se puede usar esta jerga porque es muy coloquial. Pero sí es muy común escucharla entre CHABONES que son amigos, ya sea por la MATINA esperando el BONDI, o por la noche en cualquier BOLICHE, o en un bar tomando unas BIRRAS acompañando un buen MORFI.
Entender el lunfardo puede ser un QUILOMBO al principio, especialmente si nos invade la FIACA al momento de aprender. Pero si estamos en contacto con cualquier PIBE que nos BANQUE en el aprendizaje y que no sea un CHANTA, aprenderemos más rápido.
Si estamos en Buenos Aires, podremos practicar el uso de esta jerga cuando vamos a MORFAR un CHORIPÁN con amigos, mientras CHAMUYAMOS un rato, hablamos de la GUITA que ganamos LABURANDO, y, si el mesero es un CAPO, también podremos practicar con él. 
Sin embargo, deberemos tener cuidado con los CHORROS en la calle, especialmente al momento de GARPAR, ya que, si bien pueden tener buena PINTA, pueden AFANARNOS el dinero. Si esto ocurre es una MACANA, porque deberemos hacer la denuncia en la estación policial, donde los oficiales siempre están HASTA LAS MANOS y pueden estar un poco CHINCHUDOS.
De todos modos, visitar Buenos Aires y poner en práctica la comprensión del lunfardo es una MASA, y no hay que BAJONEARSE si resulta un poco difícil al principio.

¿Por qué pasear lo cura (casi) todo?

An urban design firm is hoping to create the "world's greenest highway" by covering a major road in Dubai with gardens, trees, walkways and solar panels.

The proposed 64-kilometer-long road, called the "Dubai Green Spine," would see the Sheikh Mohammad Bin Zayed Road, one of Dubai's main highways, enhanced with over 1 million trees and enough solar panels to power 130,000 homes.

Dubai-based design firm URB says its road concept would help reduce carbon dioxide emissions by over 1 million metric tons per year, and help the city manage the needs of a population that's expected to grow from over 3 million today to nearly 8 million by 2040.

URB's design aims to reduce city heat and improve air quality while offering a safe, attractive and accessible route for commuting and leisure. Green spaces would be combined with walking and cycling paths, and electric tram lines would have solar panels built directly into the tracks.

Bus shelters and elevators would have rooftop solar panels, while garden-covered paths over the highway would make a walk from one side to the other easy and enjoyable.

URB CEO Baharash Bagherian says the concept is about "proving that our streets can do more than facilitate car traffic; they can significantly enhance quality of life."

He says the design takes a "human-centric approach" that prioritizes people and green spaces over cars.

However, it takes a lot of water to grow plants in Dubai. CNN notes that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) already consumes around 550 liters of water per person every day, compared to an average of 310 liters in the US and 144 liters in the European Union.

And most of the UAE's water isn't used for drinking — it's just needed to keep parts of the desert country green.

With this in mind, URB's design includes drought-resistant plants and special soil that helps retain water.

URB has also proposed designs for a 93-kilometer indoor cycling and walking "highway" called
