ep1.한국인은 밥심
한국인은 밥심이라는 말이 있습니다.
밥은 쌀밥 또는 식사를 의미합니다. 쌀은 한국의 주식이기 때문이죠.
‘밥’은 한국 문화에서 아주 중요한 의미를 가집니다.
그래서인지 밥과 관련된 표현들이 많은데요.
예를 들어 한국 사람들은 식사 시간쯤에 만나면 안부를 묻는 말로
식사하셨어요? 밥 먹었어요?라고 묻습니다.
그리고 한국인들은 누군가를 걱정할 때면 '밥 꼭 잘 챙겨 먹어'라는 말을 해줍니다.
그리고 외국인들이 가장 혼란스러워하는 말, ‘다음에 밥 한번 먹자.’
이 말은 정말 약속을 잡는다는 말이 아니라 나중에 봐 정도로 생각하면 됩니다.
이만큼 한국인의 정서에 깊이 스며들어 있는 밥.
여러분도 밥이 들어가는 표현으로 친구에게 안부를 물어보세요.
여러분, 밥 꼭 잘 챙겨 먹고 다니시고 다음 시간에 만나요.😊

En los últimos años, Yucatán se ha convertido en uno de los estados más importantes para el turismo en México.

Para empezar, los mexicanos poco a poco se ha empezado a maravillar con Yucatán y con su capital, la ciudad de Mérida.

La seguridad es uno de los factores claves que han convertido a Yucatán en un imán de turismo internacional. Claro, obviamente la cultura, la arquitectura, los cenotes y los sitios arqueológicos -y obvio la comida- han formado parte de este ascenso a la mira internacional, sin embargo si hay algo que caracteriza cien por ciento al estado es la tranquilidad y la paz que se respiran en él.

Por lo mismo, no nos extraña que Mérida actualmente esté viviendo un incremento en las inversiones inmobiliarias.

Vivir en Yucatán, así como vivir en Mérida, se está volviendo la opción ideal tanto para mexicanos que quieren huir de la inseguridad de sus ciudades como para los extranjeros que quieren poder disfrutar de su retiro en México.

Porque aunque Yucatán y Mérida se posicionen como un estado tranquilo y diferente a las grandes ciudades, esto no quiere decir que no esté llena de opciones de entretenimiento: restaurantes, conciertos, museos, bares, plazas comerciales, entre otras opciones que puedes encontrar y disfrutar en la ciudad.

Además, Mérida cada vez es más grande. Gracias al aumento de residentes y la llegada de empresas y negocios, la ciudad ha crecido considerablemente. Una de las cosas que ha hecho que el crecimiento de Mérida sea un ejemplo para el resto de México, son las políticas que sus gobiernos -tanto a nivel federal como estatal- han creado y promovido para ser un mejor lugar.

Es uno de los estados con mayor índice de conformidad respecto a sus servicios públicos, es decir, que sus habitantes están satisfechos con el trato y la calidad que reciben.

Además, en los últimos años Yucatán se ha caracterizado por ser pionero en propuestas como la eliminación del uso de plásticos y unicel para combatir el cambio climático...

New Year is the perfect time for people to try new things, like changing their diet or habits. Some people take part in Veganuary, an annual challenge where they avoid eating animal products like meat, dairy, or eggs during January.

Veganuary first started in 2014 as a fun way to explore a vegan lifestyle and see how it feels. Since then, plant-based eating has gained popularity, and it's not uncommon for restaurants to offer at least one vegan option on their menus.

But a study has found that many meat-eaters end up feeling disgusted by meat after trying Veganuary.

Researchers studied 40 meat-eaters before and after Veganuary.

They found that, although most participants went back to eating meat when the month had ended, they felt more disgusted about doing so. And people who ate the least amount of meat during the challenge felt the most disgust afterwards.

A separate 2023 study on 46 Veganuary participants found that they were much less likely to describe themselves as meat-eaters after taking part in the challenge.

Scientists suggest that this change happens because people feel uncomfortable when their actions don't match their beliefs. Many enjoy the taste and convenience of eating meat, but they also feel guilty about the cruelty of factory farming.

So by giving up meat during Veganuary, participants may start to think more about these issues and develop negative feelings toward eating meat.

This research shows that even a short-term change in behavior can change the way you think, says Natalia Lawrence, a scientist from the University of Exeter who worked on the studies.

"Normally, the idea is to educate people first to change their attitudes, and hopefully they end up changing their behaviour," she told The Guardian.

"But if you persuade people to change their behaviour for a month, it seems that these things follow."
