Script

おはようございます。日本語だんだんポットキャストのゆかりです。

みなさんは日本のコンビニは好きですか？
今日はコンビニのビニール袋(ぶくろ)のはなしです。
日本で有名なコンビニはいくつかありますね。

たとえば、セブンイレブン、ローソン、ファミリーマートなどです。

買い物をすると、ビニール袋に入れてくれます。

この袋は有料(ゆうりょう)です。

有料とはお金がかかることです。

つまり、袋を買わなければ、なりません。

ちなみに、有料の反対(はんたい)は‥

無料(むりょう)ですね。

コンビニのレジで、

"袋はいりますか？"

"いいえ、大丈夫です。"

といいます。

いいえ、大丈夫です。のほかには、

"袋はいりません。"

"そのままで大丈夫です。"

と言うことができます。

あなたの国では、袋は有料ですか？

それとも、無料ですか？

では、今日も最後まで聞いてくれて、だんだん、です。

また明日！

Your Digital Nomad Journey

The allure of remote work and constant travel beckons. But trading your cubicle for a co-working space in Bali requires planning. Here's how to embark on your digital nomad adventure:

1. Skill Up & Find Your Niche: Can your talents translate to remote work?  Web developers, writers, and virtual assistants are in high demand. Hone your skills and identify a niche market you can serve virtually.

2.  Embrace Remote Work:  Many traditional jobs now offer remote options.  Discuss flexibility with your employer or explore remote work platforms. If freelancing, build a strong portfolio and secure clients before taking the leap.

3.  Financials: Be Ruthless:  Living on the road can be surprisingly affordable, but research your desired destinations.  Factor in visas, co-living, and travel costs.  Build a healthy savings cushion to cover any hiccups.

4.  Tech is Your Lifeline: Invest in reliable equipment - a sturdy laptop, noise-cancelling headphones, and a universal adapter are crucial.  Don't forget secure cloud storage and a VPN for safe internet access on the go.

5.  Master Time Zones:  Working across continents requires discipline.  Schedule calls considering time zone differences and utilize tools like calendar apps to avoid confusion.

6.  Embrace Community:  Combat loneliness by joining online digital nomad communities and co-working spaces in your destinations.  These connections are invaluable for support and advice.

7.  Be Flexible & Adaptable:  Expect unexpected internet outages, cultural differences, and travel mishaps.  Maintain a positive attitude and problem-solving skills are key for a smooth journey.

Remember, the digital nomad life isn't all sunsets and beaches. It requires hard work, discipline, and a willingness to adapt. But for those seeking freedom and adventure, the rewards are endless.
