こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を楽しく勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。


今、ぼくはトルコにいます。
昨日、無事トルコに着きました。

シンガポールで乗り継ぎをして、そこからトルコのイスタンブールまで来ました。

飛行機の時間は11時間でした。
もっと短いと思ってました。

たくさん寝れるように、と思って、直前にシャワーを浴びて、体温を上げました。

寝る1時間半ぐらい前にシャワーを浴びると寝やすくなるそうです。これは奥さんから聞いた話です。

それでちょうど1時間半ぐらいまでにシャワーを浴びました。
飛行機に乗る前にちょうど眠たくなったので、いい感じでした。

飛行機は大きかったですが、乗る人は少し少なかったので、席もあいていました。隣の席があいていたので、気を使わずにぐっすり寝ることができました。

そして、気づけばあっという間に、トルコに着きました！
今週からは日本語のレッスンもします！


ということで、今日はこれで終わります。

今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！
ではまた！
