SERBIAN TO GO

2 НАЧИНА да кажеш – Merry Christmas … на српском – 2 WAYS to say – Merry Christmas… in Serbian (A1-A2 level)

Ancient Egyptians loved and respected cats, believing they brought good luck.

Some families even dressed their cats in jewelry, and mummified them after death. They would mourn the death of their cat by shaving off their eyebrows, and continue to mourn until their eyebrows grew back.

Inspired by this ancient love for cats, the Shanghai Museum in China held a special event called Meowseum Nights.

Held 10 times during last summer and fall, the event invited 200 cats and 2,000 people to explore the exhibition On Top of the Pyramid: The Civilization of Ancient Egypt.

Some of the artifacts shown in the exhibition came from a temple discovered years ago in Egypt. The temple was for Bastet, an Egyptian goddess who could change into a cat. This gave the Shanghai Museum another reason to use cats as the theme for their event.

Museum director Chu Xiaobo said that the event was created to bring cat lovers to the museum, as in Shanghai, where there are over a million pet cats, cat-friendly public spaces are rare.

"There are dog parks, dog brunches, but not that much for cat parents to do with their pets," Wen Liuli, a visitor to the exhibition, told The Art Newspaper.

The museum took measures to keep all visitors and artifacts safe. Cats had to stay in strollers or bags, but there were certain areas where people could take their cats out for photos, such as in front of a statue of Bastet. All the other artifacts were kept behind glass.

The museum also had vets, doctors, and even an ambulance on-site, and over 80 animal welfare workers attended each night to help and give advice.

While the museum doesn't plan to hold another Meowseum Night, Chu hopes it might inspire other museums to try similar ideas.

"Cat people now have a special affection for the Shanghai Museum," he said.

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

今日は、今の大阪について。
今、僕は実は大阪にいます。

昨日飛行機で大阪に来ました。
北海道の空港もそうでしたが、特に大阪の空港は、海外の人がとても多かったです。

年末年始に近づいているからかもしれないですが、観光の人が確実に戻ってきていますね。

自宅に帰る前に、大阪のキタというエリアの梅田によりました。空港から家に帰る途中に梅田があります。

梅田も人がたくさんいました。
クリスマス前というのもあり、プレゼントなどを探している人が多かったですね。

みなさんはクリスマスプレゼントは買いましたか？
僕と妻は、プレゼントを買いあうことはしていません。
はじめは少しだけしたと思いますが。

本当に欲しい物ならいいんですが、どうしても物を増やしてしまうことになります。2人ともできるだけ物を増やしたくない、できるだけ少ない物で生活をしたいので、プレゼントは買っていません。

ちょっと話がそれましたが、今の大阪は、コロナ前と同じぐらいの人がいます。

もちろん、マスクも必要ですが、前ほど気にする必要はなさそうだなと思いました。

旅行で大阪に行く予定の人は楽しんでくださいね！


ということで、今回は今の大阪について話しました。
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！
