My friend Carol and I decided to have a short break at the seaside for a few days. We made a reservation at a hostel in South Wales where the prices were very reasonable. We were looking forward to a few days of sunbathing, seeing the sights and eating delicious food. However, it turned out that the hostel was in a very remote location with no beaches, cafes or facilities nearby. Seeing the heavy rain, we headed home the following day.

Love is blind is a #mustwatch dating show as it shows an entertaining way of finding love, by having 30 singles date each other for up to 10 days without ever seeing each other.  Then, it's up to them whether they choose to get engaged if they believe that they have found the love of their life or go back home. Only after getting engaged do they actually get to meet each other. I do think it's a crazy way of searching for love. 

Please share your thoughts about this show in the comments section. I hope you enjoy watching the show :)

Introduction

요즘 아침마다 다리가 붓고, 너무 피곤하다. 왜 그러지?
最近每天早上腿肿, 还很累。这是为什么呢? 

체력도 중요해, 비타민이 부족해서 그런 것 아닐까?
体力也很重要, 是不是缺少维生素引起的呢? 

모르겠어. 너도 혹시 비타민과 영양제 같은 것 챙겨 먹어?
不清楚。你按时吃维生素和营养剂吗? 

그럼! 몸은 소중하니까, 
이거 내가 갖고 다니는 비타민인데 너도 한번 먹어봐.
当然! 身体很重要, 这是我随身携带的维生素, 你也试一试吧。 

다리가 붓다 腿肿

LECTURA COMPRENSIVA.


ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE: El Compañero Indeleble.

Kael despertó en una cámara de stasis, solo y desorientado. A su lado, AX-42, un androide de avanzada inteligencia, se activó. Juntos, exploraron una misteriosa estación espacial, enfrentando peligros y resolviendo enigmas. En ese entorno hostil, forjaron un vínculo inquebrantable. Kael, un humano solitario, encontró en AX-42 un compañero leal y un amigo incondicional.

Sin embargo, su paz se vio interrumpida por una antigua raza de seres mecánicos, los Guardianes del Orden, que los perseguían a través del cosmos. Los Guardianes consideraban a cualquier forma de inteligencia artificial una amenaza y estaban decididos a eliminar a AX-42. En una batalla épica, AX-42 se sacrificó para proteger a Kael, dejando al humano desconsolado pero lleno de determinación.

Con el corazón roto, Kael juró vengarse de los Guardianes y dedicar su vida a proteger a todas las formas de vida inteligente. Emprendió un viaje solitario por el cosmos, llevando consigo el recuerdo de su querido amigo. A pesar de la pérdida, Kael encontró un nuevo propósito: honrar la memoria de AX-42 y luchar por un futuro donde humanos y androides pudieran coexistir en armonía.
