Have you ever wondered what different kinds of celebrations are celebrated at the end of the year in different cultures? In honour of our German heritage we celebrate Heilig Abend and new this year, the Rauhnächte. In honour of our North American heritage we celebrate Christmas. And in the tradition of a Celtic past we celebrate the Feast of Lights at Winter Solstice.

Philosophical Friday

Holiday Special. Today I’d like to share with you some end-of-year traditions we celebrate in our home which is a mixture of three cultures.

Today we’re talking about “무슨 말인지 알겠어요?”

무슨 literally means “which or what”
Because “말” is “a word” in Korean, 무슨 말 can be “what word” or “which word”.
And “~인지 알겠어요?” can be translated into “do you get it?”

Let’s practice. 
Please take your cue from me. 

“무슨 말인지 알겠어요?”
“네.”

“무슨 말인지 알겠어요?”
“아니요.”

무슨 말인지 알겠어요?(You got it?)

American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald once said the "worst thing in the world is to try to sleep and not to."

Many of us will have experienced this at some point — lying in bed for what feels like hours, trying to fall asleep. But what if there was a way to fall asleep in just five minutes?

Of course, some people take longer to fall asleep than others do. But experts say there are different things we can do to help us fall asleep quicker.

Here are some of them:

Morning light is important
It might sound strange, but according to sleep scientist Russell Foster, getting a good night's sleep starts in the morning. Speaking with The Telegraph, he said it's important to get as much natural light as early as possible.

This can help move our body clock to an earlier time, so that we already feel tired when we get into bed later on.

Don't nap after 4 p.m.
If you've had a long day at work, you may be tempted to have a nap in the afternoon. And while short naps can help us feel less tired during the day, Foster says we shouldn't nap for longer than 20 minutes or less than six hours before going to bed, or we might have difficulty falling asleep later.

Practice mindfulness
"Most people don't have a sleep problem, they have an anxiety problem," Foster says, and he recommends practicing mindfulness as a way to relax before bed.

This means being present with our thoughts, instead of thinking about things that have happened or could happen. You could try reading or doing some breathing exercises as a way to relax, and avoid using your phone.

He adds that important conversations should be saved for when it's light outside, as they could keep your mind active and stop you from falling asleep quickly.

70 – Las palabras más largas del español 

こんにちは！Atsushiです。
昨日、大阪から北海道に帰ってきました。

大阪はまだまだ30℃以上で蒸し暑かったですが、北海道は特に朝と夜は涼しいです。今は19℃です。

今日は北海道のベストシーズンについて。
私は今年、3カ月前ぐらいに北海道へ引っ越してきたばかりです。ですので、北海道のベストシーズンがいつかは知りませんでした。

知り合いの話によると、この9月ぐらいがベストシーズンだそうです。私が引っ越してきた6月は思っていたよりも寒く驚きました。この9月も涼しいですが、6月の方が寒かった記憶があります。

雪が降りはじめるまでに北海道の遠いところへ行きたいと考えています。それで、来週は北海道の網走(あばしり)というところに妻と行ってきます。

網走は、北海道の東の端に近い場所にあります。札幌からだと330キロぐらい離れています。
そして、明治時代から刑務所(けいむしょ)があります。
こちらは現在も使われている刑務所です。
今も1,500人ほどの受刑者がいるようです。

その近くには、刑務所の博物館があります。
日本一脱獄が困難な刑務所と言われていて、マンガ、ゴールデンカムイという作品にも重要な場所として出てきます。

個人的に大好きなマンガなので、この刑務所の博物館に行けるのは、とても楽しみです。

近くには湖がいくつかあります。
有名な摩周湖(ましゅうこ)、阿寒湖(あかんこ)などがありますので、時間があれば、そこにもいこうと思います。

夜には、阿寒湖の近くで、夜に森に行くカムイルミナ、というものもあります！それにも行く予定です。

また、この旅行のPodcastも取りますね！
ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！

ではまた！
