안녕하세요! 여러분 잘 지내고 있나요?
한국은 아직도 너무 너무 더워요.
밖에서 걷다 보면 마치 아이스크림처럼 녹아버릴 것 같아요.
그런데 오히려 카페나 식당에 가면 에어컨을 세게 틀어서 추울 때가 많아요.
이럴 때 냉방병을 조심해야 해요!

Do you know what 냉방병 is?
And have you ever caught one before?

Yejin's Podcast for Korean Learners

Have you ever caught 냉방병 in summer?

ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE: El Último de su Especie.


Adam era el último humano. En una estación espacial solitaria, era el único vestigio de una especie extinta. Una señal antigua lo llevó a un planeta habitado por alienígenas que vivían en armonía con la tecnología. Allí, encontró una comunidad que lo acogió, brindándole un sentido de pertenencia que nunca antes había experimentado.

Los alienígenas, seres pacíficos y curiosos, se fascinaron con las historias de Adam sobre la Tierra. A su vez, Adam aprendió mucho de ellos sobre su mundo, su historia y su filosofía. Descubrió que, a pesar de sus diferencias físicas y culturales, compartían valores universales como la búsqueda del conocimiento y la esperanza en el futuro.

Con el tiempo, Adam comenzó a sentirse menos solo. La comunidad alienígena lo había ayudado a sanar las heridas emocionales causadas por la pérdida de su especie. A través de su interacción con ellos, había desarrollado una nueva perspectiva sobre la vida y el universo. Se dio cuenta de que, aunque era diferente,era parte de algo más grande.

The Last of His Kind

There's a video on TikTok in which a user takes a jar of seasoning called "Everything But the Bagel" and carefully separates the ingredients into small piles to find out the secret to the recipe.

The video has been viewed almost 2 million times — a sign of just how popular this seasoning mix, made by US company Trader Joe's, has become.

People like to put it on top of bagels and use it in lots of different meals.

However, fans of the mix have been finding out that it's not welcome everywhere in the world.

Signs have been posted at Incheon Airport in Seoul, telling passengers they can't bring jars of the seasoning into the country.

The reason is that one of the ingredients is banned in South Korea.

The mix contains things like sesame seeds, dried garlic, dried onion and salt — but poppy seeds are the problem.

Poppy seeds are banned in South Korea because they are narcotic-related items, according to the airport. The ban is not new but travelers have said that airports are now cracking down on the seasoning mix.

The seeds are also banned in a number of other countries, including Saudi Arabia and Singapore.

The poppy plant is used to make drugs like heroin and morphine, although the seeds don't contain any opiates.

However, the country worries that the seeds could be contaminated by opiates.

In fact, in the US, members of the armed forces have been advised not to eat products containing poppy seeds in case they affect the results of drug tests.

Drug tests can be very sensitive but experts say that it would be almost impossible to eat enough poppy seeds to feel any narcotic effect.
