Spices are an integral part of almost every cuisine in the world and are something that most of us now take for granted. Yet spices used to be an incredibly valuable commodity and were the preserve of only the very richest in some societies. Learn more about how they went from being the preserve of the very richest in society to something that we sprinkle on our dishes without worrying about the cost.

The Curious History of Spice

ep1.한국인은 밥심
한국인은 밥심이라는 말이 있습니다.
밥은 쌀밥 또는 식사를 의미합니다. 쌀은 한국의 주식이기 때문이죠.
‘밥’은 한국 문화에서 아주 중요한 의미를 가집니다.
그래서인지 밥과 관련된 표현들이 많은데요.
예를 들어 한국 사람들은 식사 시간쯤에 만나면 안부를 묻는 말로
식사하셨어요? 밥 먹었어요?라고 묻습니다.
그리고 한국인들은 누군가를 걱정할 때면 '밥 꼭 잘 챙겨 먹어'라는 말을 해줍니다.
그리고 외국인들이 가장 혼란스러워하는 말, ‘다음에 밥 한번 먹자.’
이 말은 정말 약속을 잡는다는 말이 아니라 나중에 봐 정도로 생각하면 됩니다.
이만큼 한국인의 정서에 깊이 스며들어 있는 밥.
여러분도 밥이 들어가는 표현으로 친구에게 안부를 물어보세요.
여러분, 밥 꼭 잘 챙겨 먹고 다니시고 다음 시간에 만나요.😊

第18話は欠番です。Notionには　あります。
「ヲタク」はもう、「スシ」「カワイイ」「カラオケ｝と同じくらい、有名な「日本語」になっていますね。この「ヲタク」文化の中に「鉄道ヲタク」というのがあるのを、ごぞんじですか。電車が大好きな人たちのことで、この中にもいろいろな種類があります。たとえば、写真を撮るのが好きな人は「撮（と）り鉄」。駅のホームの一番はしっこで、よく写真を撮ってるのを見かけます。（落ちたら、あぶない、あぶない！）他にも「乗り鉄」というのがあって、これは電車に乗るのが楽しくてたまらない人たちのことです。でもね、線路がいつまでもあると思ったら、大まちがい！先週、JRのフリーパスを使って旅行したらね、前より線路が短くなってたよ。そんな私の一日電車旅行の話です。あ、私は「乗り鉄」ではありませんよー。
