Introduction Phrases

Today we're going to explore a fascinating topic - why the word "mama" or something similar is used in different languages for mothers. As a Ukrainian host, I bring a unique perspective to this discussion.

The Science Behind Why Babies Say "Mama"

11月は日本で大学の学園祭シーズンです。学園祭とは学校のお祭りのことで、学生たちが主体となってお祭りを企画し、屋台やステージの演目を考えたり、展覧会を行ったりします。この大学の学園祭は3日間にわたって行われる予定ですが、明日は一日中雨の予報なので初日の今日、行くことにしました。

お昼前に行ったのでまだ準備ができていないところが多く、少しぶらぶらしながらライブ演奏や屋台の準備を待ちました。沖縄のドーナツであるサーターアンダーギーから菓子パン、焼きそば、お好み焼き、ポトフ、ブラジルのシュラスコなどなど色々なお店がありました。色々食べた中で1番美味しかったのは胡麻あんまんでした。仕事があったので2時間しかいられなかったのですが、雰囲気を味わうには充分でした。

いつもは閉会式の後に打ち上げ花火があり、とてもきれいだったのですが、今年は大学の創立70年ということでドローンショーがあるようです。最終日に見に行くのが楽しみです。

North Macedonia is a small European country with no coastline. It's surrounded by places that are more popular with tourists, including Greece to the south.

But wait — don't write off North Macedonia just yet! Here are just a few good reasons to visit a country Lonely Planet calls a "little-known gem."

Many travelers start with a place that's been described as one of Europe's best-kept secrets: Lake Ohrid.

The area, which includes the lake and the old town of Ohrid, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and it's easy to see why.

Old monasteries look down over the clear blue waters of the lake, which is one of Europe's oldest and deepest.

The town, which is said to be home to 365 churches — one for each day of the year — is also one of Europe's oldest. You can walk along the walls of the fortress, look around the town's old streets or relax by the water.

But there's more to see in a country that was part of Yugoslavia until 1991. Travel away from the lake and you'll find green national parks that are still home to bears, wolves and lynx.

But don't worry: there are lots of places where you can enjoy nature without getting close to those animals! Some people like to walk 2,500 meters to the top of Ljuboten, which means "the peak of love."

In winter, those same mountains are great for skiing. Many visitors choose to go to Mavrovo National Park, which is not far from Ohrid.

The capital, Skopje, is in the north of the country. It's a city full of quirky statues and lots of different types of architecture.

And don't miss the beautiful painted mosque in the nearby town of Tetovo.

North Macedonia might not be a hidden gem for much longer!
