Hi :D

I forgot to upload this yesterday. I hope your day (Wednesday) is off to a great start.

As an English language learner, you are probably bombarded with content from all of the popular social media platforms. 

Some good and some questionable. 

In this short podcast, I will tell you one thing to look out for.

Good luck!

Episode 13 (R.I.P phone) Filming in Israel
Welcome back to Streetwise English Podcast. I'm your host, Carl. Since we're on the topic of cell phones, I want to tell you another story about my favorite cell phone in the world, which is a Sony cell phone from Japan. Was a Sony cell phone from Japan. And I was taking a video of a tourist group in Tel Aviv, Israel.


So I'm an American guy, and I was with a group of Chinese tourists and I was hired to film these tourists on their trip in Israel.


It was our first day at the beach. I think it might have been our very first day in Israel. I think we arrived early in the morning at the airport. So I filmed people picking up their luggage and then we were cruising around at the beach, maybe we visited a store. I think there was a guy who played a trumpet that was kind of like made out of a bullhorn or something, a traditional horn, an old man with a beard and a, um, a hat, like the traditional Jewish people wear there in Tel Aviv.


And anyways, we were down at the beach, and this was the first time I'd seen the beach in Tel Aviv. And let me tell you, it looked like Santa Monica, California. There were people roller skating. There were people , girls in bikinis. There were surfers out in the water. People surfing in Tel Aviv. I had no idea. This is not the picture I had in my mind when thinking of Israel or Tel Aviv.


So my cell phone that I mentioned earlier that I just loved was a Sony cell phone and it was waterproof. The phone was waterproof. You could dump it in the water in a swimming pool and it would continue shooting. And I had actually filmed with it before in Spain underwater in the ocean and filmed fish swimming and everything and no problem.
So this trip though, I was in Tel Aviv  (text count limit)

みんな元気？
昨日のエピソード聞いてくれた人いるかな？
多分残念なことに聞いてない人がほとんどだと思うんだけど、昨日のエピソードでは大晦日について話したんだよね。で、今日はねぇ元旦について話したいと思うんだけど、元旦とはなんなんだい？ってやっぱり思ってる人がいると思うから説明しますね。
昨日のエピソードの大晦日は12月31日の年の最後の日だったでしょ？んで、元旦ってのはねぇ、反対で1月1日の年の始まりのことなんだよね。
で、元旦から1月8日までの期間を日本ではお正月って言うんだけどね、それについてはまた違うエピソードで話そっかな。
ちなみに元旦にはねぇ、日本人は大体家族とか親戚と集まって『おせち』って言う日本の伝統的な料理を食べたり、『初詣』のために神社に行ったりする人も多くて、基本的には家族と集まる人が多いかな。
んで、今日はその元旦について皆は何をしますかって言うエピソードなんだけど、どうだった？
みんなの元旦は楽しかった？それとも、つまらなかった？
俺はねぇ、今年の元旦はいつもよりかなり落ち着いてて正直普通の人あんまり変わらなかったな。
っていうのも、前までは友達と一緒に初日の出を見に行こうって言うので、毎朝6時位に友達と一緒に集まってお決まりのスポットに行って初日の出ってその年の1番最初の日の出を見るって言うのを友達とやってたんだけどね。俺は2年前にスウェーデンに日本から旅立ってるから今回日本にそのビザの問題で帰って来なきゃいけなくなったんだけど、その2年間はスウェーデンに住んでたから、友達と初日の出に行けなかったんだよね。で今回久しぶりに2年ぶりにお友達と初日の出楽しみだなぁって思ってたんだけどでも俺も友達もコロナウィルスが心配だから、今年は残念だけど集まるのはやめよっかって言って、あのもうそれぞれね、個人で初日の出を見ながらビデオ通話をして初日の出を、まるで一緒に見ているかのような、数年前までと同じような雰囲気を楽しむって言うことをしてたね。
だから、正直何か物足りなかったなとは思うけど、まぁ1人で見ても初日の出はやっぱりなにか気持ちよかったなぁ。
初日の出を見た後は、仕事はなかったから結構ゆったりしてたんだけど、普通に筋トレしていつも通りの日々を過ごしてたからあんまり何か特別な日って言う感じもしなかったなぁ。
こんな感じだね。みんなのさぁ初詣はどうだった？楽しかったかな？それともそうでもなかったかな？どちらにしてもあのTeppeiにぜひ教えてね。コメント待ってます。じゃあ今日も聞いてくれてありがとうございました。また次のエピソードでお会いしましょう。じゃあまたね。バイバイ。
