This little-known prayer was written by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry in one of the roughest periods of his life. 😥It reminded us here at Bright Side about what’s important in life and deeply touched both our minds and souls.🙏

이번 에피소드에서는 한국의 나이 계산법에 대해 이야기해요. 새해만 되면 한 살 더 먹던 연 나이에서 생일 기준으로 나이를 계산하는 만 나이로 바뀐 이야기를 나눠요. 빠른년생이라는 재미있는 개념과, 열두 띠를 통해 나이를 추측하는 한국식 대화법도 소개할게요.

In this episode, we chat about Korea’s age system—how everyone used to turn a year older on January 1st (연 나이) and how it’s changed to the international method (만 나이). We’ll also dive into the fun concept of 빠른년생 (early-born students) and how Koreans use the 12 zodiac animals (열두 띠) to guess someone’s age.

El cine ha multiplicado los estereotipos sobre tiburones (y sus parientes lejanos los megalodones). Aunque los ataques a humanos son inusuales, en la conciencia colectiva se les considera depredadores frecuentes. En cambio, lo que podría parecer una ocurrencia disparatada se ha convertido en una hipótesis trabajada por los científicos: es posible que haya tiburones cocainómanos en las aguas de Florida.

Lendas do Brasil - A lenda do Lobisomem

Rob: Hi Selma, how are you?

Selma: Oh hi Rob! I’m doing well, thanks. Just finished that essay that’s due in tomorrow. It was a tough topic!

Rob: Tell me about it. It took me ages. So, listen, I wanted to ask you about Netflix. You subscribe to it, don’t you?

Selma: I do, yes.

Rob: I’m thinking about signing up, but I wanted to get your view on it. Is it worth the money?

Selma: I really think it is, although I don’t know that everyone would agree with me. I’m a huge fan of crime series, so there’s nothing I love more than binge-watching a whole series in a day in my pijamas.

Rob: I keep reading about some really interesting films coming up on there – there was that Martin Scorsese film recently?

Selma: Oh yes, The Irishman. I haven’t seen it yet, but Jane loved it and said it was some of his best work. So, it’s on my list. But absolutely everything is covered. There’s Horror, Thrillers, Comedy, Cartoons, you name it. I’ve seen some really thought-provoking documentaries on there recently. There’s Saving Capitalism by Robert Reich which takes a really good look at the system we live in and its problems and then makes suggestions for how to fix it. I watched What The Health which looks at the links between the food industry and healthcare. I’ve had a lot of discussions with other students about that one.

Rob: Is there much music stuff on there?

Selma: Loads! Film from concerts, documentaries about Bowie, Oasis, Bob Dylan… you like Hip Hop, don’t you? There is a great series called Hip Hop Evolutionthat goes into how it all started. It’s fascinating. What I really like about Netflix though is because there’s such a huge audience, there’s a lot of representation of different groups in society. There are loads of foreign films, there’s LGBTQ themes, Black and Asian directors. Something for everyone. Did you hear about Squid Game?

Rob: Oh yeah, the Korean series?

Selma: Yes, it was brilliant and completely unlike anything you’d see over here.
