¡Mirá Vos!

In this story, a snowman named Jingle is a selfish husband whose job is more important than his marriage. This is Part 4 of 5. 

The dance group had met in the morning for a quick rehearsal. Today was their last day to practice before the big show. 

Even though the other dancers commented that it was already good enough, Jingle and the winking snowwoman worked very hard on their close embrace. 

Then, while everyone was packing up, getting ready to go distribute their flyers… 

Ding-ding ding-ding 

The ringing came from behind Jingle. He said, “Ugh… Doesn’t Candy know how stressed I am? What does she want now?” 

He turned, but instead of his wife, he saw his snowman neighbour. Confused, Jingle went over to talk. 

“You look disturbed,” said Jingle. 

“It’s Candy. She’s been hit by a car.” 

Jingle was shocked. He noticed the neighbour was holding a candy cane. 

“This is her cane. I picked it up after the accident. I immediately called an ambulance and she was taken straight to the hospital. It’s bad, Jingle, really bad. Come with me, let’s go together.” 

Jingle hesitated. He looked at the candy cane, then at the dance group in the distance. Then back at the candy cane. 

“Thank you for bringing me this. But I can’t go with you. I’ve got to distribute these flyers today. It’s our last chance, and the whole group is counting on me. They need me. Tell Candy I’ll be there after work.”

La mia città è una città speciale, unica al mondo, ma anche molto simile a tutte le altre. Si trova nel nord-est della penisola italiana, sul Mare Adriatico. Si chiama Venezia. Ci sei mai stato/a?
Venezia è una città molto, molto antica. Ancora oggi possiamo camminare tra i palazzi d’epoca, visitare le chiese medievali, andare a vedere le opere d’arte nei musei. Per questo motivo ci sono sempre tanti turisti, d’estate e d’inverno, in primavera e in autunno.
In tutte le altre città del mondo ci sono strade asfaltate e macchine, autobus e tram. A Venezia, invece, ci sono i canali: i canali sono dei corsi d’acqua salata. Invece delle macchine, ci sono le barche.
Nelle città normali le persone camminano sui marciapiedi; a Venezia camminiamo sui ponti.
Per andare al lavoro o a scuola andiamo alla fermata ad aspettare il vaporetto. I vaporetti sono autobus sull’acqua.
Nonostante tutto questo, Venezia è una città come le altre: c’è un ospedale, ci sono le università e le scuole. Ci sono i supermercati, i mercati e i negozi di alimentari. Ci sono due cinema dove possiamo guardare i film con gli amici e tanti ristoranti dove mangiare cibo delizioso.
C’è anche un famoso festival del cinema e un celebre festival d’arte e architettura.
Viviamo in belle case antiche e trascorriamo le giornate come le persone di tutte le città del mondo: lavoriamo o studiamo, andiamo in palestra o a fare yoga, passeggiamo o andiamo al bar con gli amici.
Ci sono solo due parchi pubblici, purtroppo un po’ piccoli, perché a Venezia non c’è spazio per costruirne di più grandi. Ma non importa, perché alcune delle altre isole della laguna sono immerse nel verde.

こんばんは！Atsushiです。
いよいよこのPodcastが100回目をむかえました！👏
もしいつも聞いてくれている方がいたらとても嬉しいです。
ありがとうございます。

これからも、今まで通りマイペースに進めていこうと思います。よろしくお願いします。

では、100回目のPodcastは、私がこれからしたいことについて話そうと思います。

私は結婚していて妻がいます。
これから数年の間に、妻と一緒に一度海外に住みたい！と考えています。タイやオーストラリア、カナダ、オランダ、ドイツなどいろいろと興味のある国があります。まずは来年一度、その中のどこかの国へ、旅行で行ってみたいと思います。

私も妻も2人とも日本語教師の資格をとりましたので、その国の日本語学校で働くか、オンラインレッスンをしていくか(どちらにしてもオンラインレッスンは続ける予定です)、他には海外で日本食のビジネスを始めるか、日本人向けに観光ガイドをするか、などなどいろいろと考えたりしています。

まずは旅行で行ってみて、自分たちの目でみて、その国の雰囲気を感じてみないとわからないので、来年から何回か海外に旅行してみようと思います。海外で仕事が決まればすぐいけるんですけど、そんなに簡単ではないですね。これを聞いている海外の方で、日本語できる人を探している人がいたら、ぜひ連絡ください！

話を戻しますが、なぜ海外に住みたいかというと、人生は一回きりなので、後悔しない生き方がしたいからです。海外に住みたかったな、思って死ぬのはイヤなので、一度は住んでみたい、と思います。それから、海外に住むことで、日本の良さにたくさん気づけると思っています。今は想像だけの良さしかわかっていません。ですので、実感を持って、日本の良さを知りたいと思います。あともう一つ。自分たちの可能性を広げたいからです。日本でしか生活したことがないので、海外で生活する、ということが選択肢にないんですね。でも一度経験すると、意外とできるんだ、ということがわかると思うので、一気に視野が広がると思います。英語ももっと本気で勉強すると思います。今もしてます。

そんな新しいチャンスを見つけたい、という思いもあって、海外に行ってみたい、と考えています。

もしこの国オススメだよ！とかあれば教えてください！
ネットでもある程度調べることはできますが、1番良いのは、住んでいる人から直接聞くことだと思っています。


ということで、100回目のPodcastということで、これからしてみたいことについて話しました。

最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！
これからもよろしくお願いします！

ではまた！
