I wrote this crazy anecdote that I lived with my friend Nicolas. In order not to make it longer than it already is, I divided it into 2 parts. This 1st one is about how we went on vacation without knowing that we were not going to return to our destination, thanks to the coronavirus. Cancelled tickets, chaotic airports, and an exotic country .
In the 2nd: how we got a ticket to get out of there, how they didn't want to put us up anywhere and how I ended up in Ezeiza (Argentina's main airport) on top of a bus with people I didn't know.

ABOUT HOW I LIVED IN AUSTRALIA, WENT ON HOLIDAY IN SRI LANKA AND ENDS UP IN ARGENTINA: CHRONICLE OF A PANDEMIC - Part 1.

私は4年ほど前から寒暖差アレルギーに悩まされています。
寒暖差アレルギーは英語で、vasomotor rhinitisというそうです。
気温の差が原因の鼻炎のようなものです。暖かい場所から寒い場所に移動すると鼻水やくしゃみがとまらなくなる、という症状があります。
私は特に冬、寒いときに外でジョギングをすると、毎回この寒暖差アレルギーがひどくなってしまいます。
漢方薬を飲むと、一時的に良くなりますが、ジョギングをするとまたひどくなってしまいます。
鼻水のせいで呼吸が上手くできないし、鼻をかみすぎて、鼻や口の周りも痛くなるし踏んだり蹴ったりです。
この寒暖差アレルギーを治すには、規則正しい生活をすることが一番大切だそうです。これは私にとって一番難しいことですが、今年は頑張って克服したいです。

Halloween is a fun and spooky holiday that people celebrate on October 31st each year. But do you know where it comes from, and why we wear scary costumes? Let's explore the history of Halloween and costumes!
Halloween started a very long time ago, around 2,000 years ago. It began with an ancient Celtic festival called "Samhain" (pronounced sah-win). The Celts lived in what is now Ireland, the United Kingdom, and France. Samhain was a special time when they celebrated the end of summer and the beginning of winter.
The Celts believed that on the night of October 31st, the boundary between the living and the dead was very thin. They thought that the spirits of the dead could come back to Earth on this night. Some people were afraid of these ghosts, so they dressed up in costumes to hide from them. They also lit bonfires to scare the ghosts away.
In the 8th century, the Christian church started a holiday called "All Saints' Day" on November 1st. It was a day to remember and honor all the saints. The night before, on October 31st, became known as "All Hallows' Eve," which later turned into "Halloween."
Over time, Halloween came to America with immigrants from different countries. People brought their own customs and traditions, and Halloween became a mix of all these traditions. One of these traditions was dressing up in costumes, which became a big part of Halloween.
Today, Halloween is a day for fun and creativity. People of all ages wear costumes, but the costumes are not just scary. You can be anything you want – a superhero, a princess, a witch, or even a funny animal. People also go trick-or-treating, where kids dress up in costumes and go door to door asking for sweets.
So, when you see people in scary costumes on Halloween, remember that it all began with the Celts who wanted to protect themselves from ghosts. Now, Halloween is a time for everyone to enjoy dressing up and having a spooky good time.
