In this Chillchat episode, Karen and Baiwei chatted about different ways of meeting a romantic partner, including arranged dates by parents, dating apps and websites and more organic encounters.

Arranged dates, right swipes, random encounters: there is always one that works for you

Have you ever accidentally gotten on a bus that was going out of service?

What do you expect would happen next? The driver would probably open the door and tell you to get off, and they wouldn't start driving until the bus was empty.

But that's not what happened to two tourists in Kyoto.

When they accidentally got on a bus that was going out of service in early June, the driver just closed the doors and drove away with them still on board.

And yes, he knew they were there.

But he was afraid to talk to them because they were foreigners, and he didn't know how to communicate with them.

As The Asahi Shimbun reported, the tourists — a man and a woman — got on the bus through the back door after all the other passengers exited at Kyoto station.

When they realized what had happened, the tourists asked the driver to stop, but he didn't understand them and just kept driving.

He later said he thought it would be best to deal with them at the bus terminal office.

When the driver wouldn't stop, the tourists called the police. An officer spoke to the driver over the phone, and the driver finally stopped.

They had been driving for around 20 minutes, traveling a distance of about 4 kilometers.

The West Japan JR Bus Company said: "We are very sorry for the inconvenience caused. Our employee training was insufficient, and our employee did not handle the situation correctly. We will thoroughly train our employees in the future."

Kyoto has a number of train and subway lines, but some of its most famous sites are most conveniently visited by bus — including Kiyomizudera temple in the east, and the gold-covered Kinkakuji temple in the northwest.

はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストの15回目です。先月、不動産屋のウェブサイトを見たら、私の住んでいるアパートの家賃が下がっていることに気付きました。大家さんに相談したら、私も家賃を下げてもらえることになりました。ラッキーです。日本のアパートは時間が経つと家賃が下がることがあります。

Hello, this is episode 15 of season 2 of my podcast. Last month, I looked at the estate agent's website and noticed that the rent for the apartments in my apartment building had gone down. I talked to my landlord and he agreed to lower my rent too. I feel lucky. Apartments in Japan can have their rent reduced over time.

最近は大学で比較教育学について勉強しています。比較教育学とは、いろいろな国の教育システムの違いや、教育の歴史を調べて、比べる学問です。いろいろな国の教育を比べると、社会の違いがよくわかります。たとえば、義務教育の違いです。義務教育とは、子供が学校に行かなければならない期間です。日本は、小学校６年、中学校３年、全部で９年です。アメリカは９年から13年で、州によって違います。日本では、どの学校も同じ教科書を使います。アメリカでは、決められた教科書がありません。

I have recently been studying comparative pedagogy at university. Comparative pedagogy is the study of the differences in education systems and the history of education in different countries. Comparing the education systems of different countries gives a clear picture of the differences between societies. An example is the difference in Gimukyouiku. ‘Gimukyouiku’ (compulsory education) is the period during which children have to go to school. In Japan, there are six years of elementary school and three years of junior high school, nine years in all. In the USA, it ranges from 9 to 13 years, depending on the state. In Japan, all schools use the same textbooks. In the USA, there are no set textbooks.

今日はアメリカの生徒さんと、このことについて話しました。アメリカの中学校の歴史の授業では、国の歴史以外に、州の歴史も勉強するそうです。知りませんでした。日本の中学校では、どこに住んでいても同じ内容の、国の歴史を勉強します。高校でも歴史を勉強しますが、どこの学校も大体同じ内容だと思います。内容が大きく変わるのは大学に入ってからです。大学では専攻に関係する歴史を詳しく勉強します。

S2 Ep15. 義務教育

Halo semua! Bagaimana akhir minggu kalian? Baik? 
Akhir-akhir ini pekerjaan saya sangat banyak dan harus selesai sebelum tenggat waktu (締切・deadline). Jadi hampir setiap malam saya begadang. “Begadang” di Bahasa Jepang artinya 遅くまで起きている, di Bahasa Inggris artinya “stay up late”. Ya, saya tahu ini tidak baik untuk kesehatan. Dan karena sering begadang, setiap hari saya minum kopi lebih dari 4 cangkir, juga menjadi lapar di malam hari. Aduh! Saya harus mulai diet lagi! Kalian juga jangan sering begadang ya, selamat beraktifitas! Sampai jumpa di podcast berikutnya!
