Slow Japanese

Episode #19 - New Year's resolutions

New York is 3 hours ahead of California,
but it does not make California slow.
Someone graduated at the age of 22,
but waited 5 years before securing a good job!
Someone became a CEO at 25, 
and died at 50.
While another became a CEO at 50,
and lived to 90 years.
Someone is still single,
while someone else got married.
Obama retires at 55,
& Trump starts at 70.
Absolutely everyone in this world works based on their Time Zone.
People around you might seem to go ahead of you,
some might seem to be behind you.
But everyone is running their own RACE, in their own TIME
Don’t envy them or mock them.
They are in their TIME ZONE, and you are in yours!
Life is about waiting for the right moment to act.
So, RELAX.
You’re not LATE.
You’re not EARLY.
You are very much ON TIME.

这首诗是我五年前在网上偶然发现的，直至现在仍然备受鼓舞。我是个土生土长的中国人，我的父母也是非常按部就班的中国人，在他们看来我这个年龄就应该结婚生子，而我更享受自由。
最近法国的气温慢慢升高了，鸟语花香，每个人笑容洋溢，希望这个世界能够恢复疫情前的样子，祝福大家笑口常开！



Le Franglish

one of my favorite poetry.

Talk Time with Jhon!

Porque vivir una vida haciendo lo que sueñas que una limitada por lo que los demás piensan…

nǐ mèi mei jǐ suì ？ 
你 妹  妹  几 岁  ？ How old is your sister?

nǐ chī jǐ ɡè jī dàn ？ 
你 吃  几 个 鸡 蛋  ？ How many eggs do you eat?

xué xiào yǒu duō shǎo ɡè xué shenɡ ？ 
学  校   有  多  少   个 学  生    ？ How many students are there in the school?

zhuō zi shànɡ yǒu jǐ bēi niú nǎi ？ 
桌   子 上    有  几 杯  牛  奶  ？ How many glasses of milk are there on the table?

L’abete di Natale in Italia – Real vs Synthetic A2

Transport company Uber has announced a new service that could make it cheaper for people in the US to travel to and from the airport and other popular places.

It's called Uber Shuttle — and it's really just a bus service offered by the company.

"Whether you're a traveler, sports fan, or concertgoer, get ready because Uber Shuttle is arriving soon," said Uber's Anthony le Roux when the news was announced in the middle of May.

Uber users will be able to book up to five seats on a shuttle service to big events and airports from a central place.

It might be useful if you're at a big, out-of-town concert and there aren't enough regular Ubers or taxis, for example.

Uber's shuttles will have between 14 and 55 seats, and people will be able to book up to a week before they travel.

The company says the cost of the shuttle will be "a fraction" of the price of a regular Uber.

In one example Uber gave during the announcement, the price of the shuttle was about one-third of the price of a regular Uber.

The shuttle, which has previously been tested in India, will be available in some US cities this summer to help people travel to and from events.

As for airports, Uber has not yet said which ones the shuttle will be available at.

When it is available, users will see the shuttle as an option in their apps, and they'll be able to rate and tip shuttle drivers just like regular Uber car drivers.
